    Just checking this out. I’m meeting with two other fiddlers from the group lessons we’ve been doing on Saturday. IT’s been fun and instructive. I, too, am in eastern daylight savings. Mary

      Super fun to play some back up fiddle with this amazing singer named @jongmadaliday from the Philippines who I found on TikTok 😻. I’m kind of a noob at this, so still totally amazed that with a little bit of effo […]

      Have you been playing for a while and noticed that the hair on your bow has a case of “bed head” and isn’t quite falling into line anymore? Or maybe a bow was gifted to you, but the hair has more gaps than […]

      cbFidHed2020 replied to the topic River John Sunset Waltz in the forum Student Videos 5 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe one of the more seasoned veterans on this site could comment on the whole bowing thing. The down bow is supposed to be a naturally louder sound to emphasize a beat, but to me up or down sound pretty much the same???

      Hi Tom, Jason has a great video on accenting certain beats within the hoe down rhythm that may help with this: Module 1.3,…[Read more]

      Joanne, I really like this. Good tone and ornamentation, plus a nice driving rhythm with momentum. Those tunes blend really, too.

      Good bow sound Charles!

      Just curious: the fiddle sounds like it’s tuned low. Is that so? If not intended, you might want to check the tuning with an electronic tuner.

      keep on keeping’ on…

      Hey Tom, I’ve been a FiddleHed for about 8 1/2 months. I’ve actually been in group lessons and breakouts with you, including today’s great Hector the Hero lesson and the breakout room with you and Jill! My FiddleHed name (cbFidHed2020) and Zoom name (“Patchy-Intermediate Lapsed Childhood Violinist”) were different, so you may not have realized.…[Read more]

      Nice @tszalay. I was going to teach the lower octave but got side-tracked with Irish embellishment.

      The video looks great. What camera did you use?
