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. I really enjoyed that one. Great tone, flow and double stops.

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.

I’ll second that WOW! This was wonderful! Love what you did here with the tracks! Your fiddle work is beautiful! Such talent! Thanks for sharing!

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 […]

Do you struggle with holding the bow correctly? Do you find it slips out of your hand? Does it feel awkward?

If so, take heart. You’re not the only one. You can improve this a little every day with focused […]

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 […]
