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.) Love tha…[Read more]

What connections can you make between fiddling and the rest of your daily activity?
Asking a question like this is the activity of a growth mindset.

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.

kate.kakadu replied to the topic How to post a video in the forum Student Videos 4 years, 1 month ago
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] -

I’ve just been back from travels and really enjoyed this tune, Marg. Just had to learn it!

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.
How does learning […]

Nice!
I fixed the link for you. It should look like “https://youtu.be/sNADk1KnXK0”

I’ve been practicing chordal scales. Here I added it to an old-time tune called Rickett’s Hornpipe.

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. -

Thanks Geoff, sorry we could’nt get back to you sooner.
You can add any page to favorites by clicking the button at the bottom of the page, just above ‘leave a reply’ section.
You can access your favorite list from the ‘practise toolkit’, which can be found under the ‘Practise’ tab, or close to the bottom of most lessons.
You can also access your favourites list to the right of the ‘favorite’ button, when you select the page as a favourite.
I’ve made a note of this to put an explainer into the ‘How to Use FiddleHed’ section. Thank you for the feedback!
