Hey Aywren. I think I replied to you privately, but I am not sure it went through, so I will post my response here again.
So good to hear from you! Jason asked me about writing for Fiddlehed again, and I accepted his offer. My fiddling has been almost non-existent for the past year because of severe shoulder problems. I practice when I can, but…[Read more]

Nicely done, Mary. I enjoyed that. Wished I had the dexterity in my fingers that you do.

LOL, Tom. I have been humming (and playing) Shenandoah for the past few days since Jason posted his lesson. I also agree, I have to really like a tune, and that makes it easier to learn and memorize.

Singing the words can be a big help in learning a tune. I learn some songs by heart and then move on. Some I learn some of and come back to. Usually, what ever I feel like doing. No rules about this. Then, there are those I forget and have to come back to!

First time I have stumbled across this thread. I first picked up my fiddle 2 years ago this month, but still consider myself very much a beginner, as my practicing is very sporadic because of chronic shoulder problems. I may go weeks without playing. I used to find this very discouraging and I would really get down about it until I realized that…[Read more]

Tennessee Ernie had a beautiful voice. I often play this song when warming up; it is so pretty.
