    Thanks for you comment. I’m trying to learn to make the fiddle “sing” and not sound so practiced. When playing the fiddle, there’s so much to think about it.

    Thanks. I found it wandering around the web one day. A Scottish composer wrote to honor a group of Oregon fiddlers. Isn’t that cool?

    It’s easier to bow on the D and A strings for most beginners. Why are the G and E strings harder?

    The E is challenging because it’s temperamental. It tends to sound screechy. It requires a lighter t […]

      Wow, I have been practicing frozen in space, never moving. I didn’t realize it was ok to move a little bit to work with the strings. This has been very helpful (and my back thanks you!).

    Great job, Debbie! Love the sound of your fiddle! Loved your Drowsy Maggie, but for some reason, I could not respond to your video there to tell you.

    Are your string crossings sloppy? Do you unintentionally hit other strings as you play? Are the fingered notes a bit mushy?

    If so, you’re not alone. These are common bowing pitfalls. In this lesson I’ll give y […]

      Hello Jason! Are all the bow hairs supposed to be flat on string? Or is it only part of the width of hairs hitting the string? I never know what to do or practice. New to Fiddlehed!

    Do you struggle with getting a good sound on the fiddle? Are you unsure of how much pressure to use? Do you want a smoother bow sound?

    If so, take heart. You’re not the only one. In this lesson I’ll show you […]

    A lot of my students want to improve their timing and play faster. But when I suggest using a metronome their eyes glaze over. It just doesn’t seem like fun.

    I get it. I believe that learning and practice can […]
