So I’ve been at this for a month or so now and I feel confident enough to play in front of someone else- lazy John or Oh Susannah etc… However, I freeze up and my mind goes a bit blank. I mess up so much more. I can get flustered, cheeks burning. When I’m by myself- I am flowing along easily. Any thoughts? Any advice on how to “practice” staying…[Read more]

I think that’s quite normal, I remember the first time playing in a group & shaking so much I could hardly hold my bow! If you can, just try playing some chords first or maybe some scales, & just focus on getting a sound you’re happy with then when you start to play your tune you are already focusing on your own playing rather than the fact…

I have the same problem. I asked Jason and he posted some really good tips on how to deal with it. Search How to Overcome Stage fright . It’s an issue I still deal with but there’s hope 🙂 I am getting better.

Thanks!

Hopefully this won’t break the spell, @kvmceff but actually Neil Gow’s second ‘wife’ was his violin, which he accidentally damaged beyond repair. Some say he sat on it, but I don’t know if that’s true.

Really nice bowing, Jenny; with smooth slurring, too. I really enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed the Angelina Baker session. Lot of room for improv, variation and ornamentation .

I’ve been reading The War of Art, which is about overcoming resistance in creative work. Though I’ve been making things my whole life, I still have to do battle with Resistance.
For example, I’ve been writing […]

Just ordered this book. Looking forward to a good read.

Love the raga blend!

love this jason! i liked the conversations about it being too weird for fiddlers and too normal for the experimental lovers. I guess a better way to look at it is its the best of both worlds, and hopefully for everyone. it sounds like a shuti box! have you ever heard or used one? I’ve been really wanting one for a long time. i love drone music which is why i first got interested in violin. anyway i wanted to share this video with you if i can. its my favorite shuti box performance I’ve ever seen. beautiful, and maybe an inspiration in there somewhere for fiddlers? i don’t know. https://youtu.be/hEzO947WtZU

That is beautiful, exotic….love it! I want to learn to play it :).
