    Great stuff, Marg! Awesome variation and I love your transition to Swallow tail jig. I have downloaded the strum machine app I was so inspired. I want to develop a set of songs to play and thought it was a good way to practise. (But I can’t work out how to add the mandolin yet. I’ve ticked the box but it just sounds like guitar to me.)

    What connections can you make between fiddling and the rest of your daily activity?

      I am ready to start paying the $39 per month to get access to FiddleHed lessons. I’d like to select the ones I think I need, and go at my own pace. i am 93 years old and used to play the violin. I can’t see how to do that form the information presented as my trial subscription runs out. It wants me to set up goals, records of accomplishments, and “I-don’t-know-what-else.”

      Please let me know how I can do it in this way, if that is possible. I like your method of breaking the elements of violin playing into small pieces that can be practiced separately.

        Hope you received a reply and are giving this a go Mr Crook! My understanding is you can indeed roam across the site and take your own approach with the direction if that suits you better. Wish you every good luck in returning to the violin, hope this endeavour brings you much pleasure.

    1. Record yourself on video on your phone or ipad.
    2. Go to YouTube (if you haven’t already got an account, just create a basic one – you don’t need a premium). When I open the YouTube app on my phone there are some icons down the bottom {home, shorts, a circle with a plus sign, subscriptions, library) – Press the circle with the plus sign and it…[Read more]

    Why do we play music? For most of the answer is, “I do it for fun and enjoyment.”

    Here’s another reason people start playing an instrument: they want to upgrade their thinking.

    Ask questions as you practice. Don’t worry about the answer. The question brings awareness to what you’re doing.

    Ask questions before, during and after a practice session

      Hey Lisa, Thanks for mentioning your experience, sorry we couldn’t help you that day. May be good to email Jason for potentially a quicker response in situations like these. I checked the calendar and noticed the 9AM PT open practise was scheduled for April 18 so you may have missed it by a day. There are instances where sometimes the wrong zoom link goes out, so if it’s not automatically opening the session shortly after the scheduled time, check your email for an updated link.
      To my knowledge, these practise sessions will start right around the scheduled time on Zoom with a welcome intro, then practising together where you are muted, Jason is not muted so you can either mute your own sound to fully focus on your own practise, or choose to listen/watch whats going on for him/others, and then closer to the end of the session there is a discussion together.
      I hope it lines up for you to join another day.
