I’ll even go so far as to suggest optimism is a kind of practice, an essential discipline. Optimism sees that some thing or situation can be made better, & then works on that improvement. Like many others here, I picked up my fiddle late. I’m not aiming for Carnegie Hall or the Grand Ole Opr…[Read more]

For unknown reasons, I hit a slump in my fiddle practice in the last week. It hasn’t always felt fun, and I sounded worse to my own ear, and missed too many days too! Having said that, I’ll miss the next 3 weeks of our Monday meetings, because my husband and I leave on trip to…[Read more]

No specific song, Elise, but you might want to be ready to play one or two in a round robin.
    In reply to - Bridget Morton posted an update in the group Advanced Beginner Group 4 Advanced Beginners met on Zoom on Monday evening, 1/30, at 8 pm EST/ (Hooray for Terri, Mary, Steve, & me!) We took turns playing, tried jamming on mute while someone else played, and talked about breakthroughs we’re having — and some of us are having some! Our next group Zoom will be Monday, February 13, 8 pm EST. All are welcome to join. Terri sent out a link to interested folks, and we can post it again here. Some of us are still having mic issues, but we’re working those out and the group is generous & supportive.

    And here are a couple of the note cards I’m making for the tunes I know. This process is really helping me ‘hear’ the tunes better. Something about writing the notes as I hum is helping me musically.

    Here are the practice cards I made after our practice session last Monday. I have 16 so far on this little ring, which I just happened to have waiting for a great project. And I’ve used them already!

    This is great, Terri! My left forearm/wrist often get tense and tired when I play longer than 30 minutes so I’ll be trying some of these out.
      In reply to - Terri 🤓🎻 posted an update Hi All! This is my first attempt to post! In Feb \'22, I started fiddle at age 58. While I don\'t have serious physical problems, I played sports A LOT when I was younger, and I\'ve broken a few fingers, and my right thumb was broken away from my hand. My wrists were not very flexible...So, I researched this a bit...And now, I have a series of stretches that I do every day before I play. I start w/my neck then shoulders (I use Peggy Cappy\'s \"Yoga for the Rest of Us\" neck, shoulder and wrist warmups) then arms (tricep and bicep stretches) then wrists then fingers...For the fingers and wrists, I found a book that was originally in German written in 1860, \"Gymnastics for the Fingers and Wrist\". Here\'s the link to the site that has the pdf version in English (its free): https://ia902700.us.archive.org/21/items/wardjacksonsgymn00warduoft/wardjacksonsgymn00warduoft.pdf The author wrote this book because he played violin when he was young, quit for many years, and as an adult found that his fingers and wrists were very weak. I hope this is helpful to others! 🙂 ]]>             3493bce8b4df4173f84141e7292c0b91 Bridget Morton and Terri 🤓🎻 are now friends https://fiddlehed.com/activity-streams/p/17976/ Sat, 21 Jan 2023 23:25:36 -0800 0 08a6ce884d4becc2a9f9b85e5f7c81a6 Steve and Terri 🤓🎻 are now friends https://fiddlehed.com/activity-streams/p/17975/ Sat, 21 Jan 2023 23:25:32 -0800 0 4a8c7fbb47dd5eacd8e7268a522a30f6 Bridget Morton replied to the topic Zoom Hangout! in the forum Advanced Beginner Group https://fiddlehed.com/groups/continuing-beginner-group/forum/topic/zoom-hangout/#post-62673 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 21:32:15 -0800 Lovely!
