Hey Keith! Real enjoyable playing. You stayed right in time and in tune with the backing track and played for a good long time. I agree Jocelyn is a great coach with FH. Keep it up!

Great job, jumping right in and putting a video up! Noticed that you don’t use a shoulder rest. I know some fiddlers do without one. So far, what’s you’re favorite style of music; old time, Irish, Polkas, waltzes….? And what is your favorite type of practice; scales and variations of scales, call and response, play Alongs on FH site…..? Have fun, David.

Hey Jason, thanks for the motivation in this post. I’m a beginner fiddler who over the years keeps losing my way. I’m on a 3-month hiatus from fiddling now and I don’t want it to go any longer. Traveling and life stuff got in the way but I had my fiddle with me so it’s totally all my fault!
As I exercised on the treadmill this morning I listened to you and I’m ready to hit the strings again! Thank you for being the awesome teacher that you are and for being so supportive and motivating! You ROCK!

Mary, thanks so much for sharing this with everyone. It’s great to hear you’re reinvigorated to Fiddle!

Thanks for the email sending me this link. My approach to how I practice gets a little off because I never know where I left off or remember where to commence. I’ll heed your instructions and re-start my practice journal, which is already a mess—the extra help in learning how to live with my fiddle is invaluable and you can send me as many emails as your want.
