Thanks, Nancy. It’s just the video app on my IPad, under “photos.”

Very nicely done, Joanne. Looks like a lot of fun to play. Liked the double stops and the drone idea.

Yup, recording often sounds different than what we hear; pretty much for all of us. I liked the song and how you played it!

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.

Nicely done, Joanna! Tone, timing, string crossing and triplets all very good‼️

That was very good, Marg; a nice light touch, fine tone and timing, and you sway to the beat as well….Hip-Hip!!

Great job, Sally! As Marg said your tone is quite fine!

Patty, that was really good. I loved the second string crossing to the lower octave; sounded so cool. A good flow throughout! A special song, I think.

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 […]

Nicely done, Marg. I did not get to the lesson, as was traveling. Thanks for posting, will get on it.

Nice!
I fixed the link for you. It should look like “https://youtu.be/sNADk1KnXK0”

I’ve been practicing chordal scales. Here I added it to an old-time tune called Rickett’s Hornpipe.

Liked it Debbie, especially the slides and double stops in the second half! Also, noticed a nice flexible wrist, which I am jealous of!😁

Ask questions as you practice. Don’t worry about the answer. The question brings awareness to what you’re doing.
Ask questions before, during and after a practice session

Hey Lisa, Thanks for mentioning your experience, sorry we couldn’t help you that day. May be good to email Jason for potentially a quicker response in situations like these. I checked the calendar and noticed the 9AM PT open practise was scheduled for April 18 so you may have missed it by a day. There are instances where sometimes the wrong zoom link goes out, so if it’s not automatically opening the session shortly after the scheduled time, check your email for an updated link.
To my knowledge, these practise sessions will start right around the scheduled time on Zoom with a welcome intro, then practising together where you are muted, Jason is not muted so you can either mute your own sound to fully focus on your own practise, or choose to listen/watch whats going on for him/others, and then closer to the end of the session there is a discussion together.
I hope it lines up for you to join another day.
