Marg Sherringham commented on the post, What's helped you the most on your fiddle journey? 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Call and response, making index cards as I work through the modules. I use a notice board where I can pin up up the cards relevant to my current practice, swapping them in and out. I’m amazed at the improvement in my ability to play by ear after being immersed in reading music most of my life. Now up to module 2.7, I find if I revisit an older…[Read more]

Very nice Owen, sounded like some creative improvising on the end, yay! Go for it! Some keys seem to just take us on another road, I love that about the fiddle, and your vibrato was very expressive. 😊

Great playing on this tune tune and The Blackest Crow Joanne, you make Sawmill Tuning look easy, but I imagine it takes quite a bit of practice. Looking forward to the workshop replay coming out so I can learn this technique. Thanks for sharing. ๐

Marg Sherringham replied to the topic Lindesfarne by Matt Seattle in the forum Student Videos 1 year ago
Nice playing Vera, it’s so rewarding isn’t it, to play in parts? Did you use your phone to record one part and then play along? Lately, I’ve been recording myself on the phone playing one part while using strum machine backing on my notebook. Then I playback those two parts on my phone and play along with the harmony, bringing melody, harmony and…[Read more]

Thanks for your kind comments Fiddledeedee, Joanne and Kate. I’m lucky to be part of this band, we have a lot of fun playing together, and I hope other Fiddleheds have musician friends to play with too.
When I originally sent an audio and the music to Jason he encouraged me to share with the community and has added a way to upload attachments, so…[Read more] -

Thanks Deb and Debbie. Yes, I like the flute harmony too, Lisa added notes from the chords on the 1st B section and then a harmony I wrote the 3rd time through, I played it the 2nd time through. Happy to send the music if you’d like to play it, just not sure how to attach it to this page.

Marg Sherringham started the topic A Pentatonic Scale In Summer. in the forum Student Videos 1 year, 1 month ago
I was working on pentatonic scales in module 2.5 and decided to challenge myself to write something restricted to pentatonic. Chose the key of G so that meant I couldn’t use any C’s or F sharps. It was a really interesting experiment, this is the result. Had fun playing it with my friends, Wayne, Lisa and Keith, the boys dressed for the part, we…[Read more]

Great job Owen! I’m just catching up on viewing student videos and it’s so encouraging to see how we’re all venturing into new techniques. Love your double stops and different octaves, I hope you’re enjoying strum machine, I use it a lot when I’m not playing with other musicians. Thanks for sharing your work.

Thanks for sharing, it’s lovely to hear each note at this tempo. I think using the drone not only helps our intonation (yours is great!) but it also sets such a nice relaxed mood.
