What defines it? How many notes are there in a scale?
My simple definition: A scale is a group of notes used to practice a musical instrument.
It’s a series of small steps defined by a root note and […]

Your tone and tuning is really good!
I would work on playing at a steady tempo. Play each quarter with a metronome. Loop at different speeds. Nothing too fast. Just go for steadiness. Eventually play the whole tune with a metronome.
Let me know how it goes: [email protected]

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.

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 […]

Can you do more or do have something on double stops and scales having problems with the fingering to make the chords not sure what to do to improve one thing I have other is how to get over muting the other strings while fingering to make the double stops can you help email if you can
Hi JD,
Here’s a lesson on chordal scales: https://staging.fiddlehed.com/chordal-scales-technique-lesson/
You need to place your fingers on the tips for most double stops so that you don’t put other strings.
I recommend you submit a video for feedback. Go here to do that: https://staging.fiddlehed.com/support/video-feedback-lessons/
You can email me if you still have questions.
cheers
