Beginner Group 2 years, 7 months agoI have April 17 of this year in my journal as the first day I signed up for Fiddlehed lessons. One of the deciding factors for me to sign up was a phrase that said something like “Where will you be in a year”. Now its six months later and I’m so proud of myself for sticking with learning an instrument! These courses are perfect for the way I…[Read more]

Beginner Group 2 years, 8 months agoHey new fiddle-friends 🎻 I put my instrument down for vacay. It took a little extra gumption, back at home, to get things up and running again.

I’ve alwa…[Read more]

What lovely insights, Nicole. Yep it’s pretty amazing what comes back to us from the effort/focus we’ve put in previously. And embracing what brings pleasure 🙂

GarageBand Creations 2 years, 9 months agosorry to bombard….but I don’t think I ever shared this one!
Me and my husband Richard did a version of this on GarageBand and iMovie to make this fun little vid! You may recognise the Fiddlehed rhythm section!

Beginner Group 2 years, 9 months agoHow do I know if I’m developing a bad habit? For example, on a couple of songs, if there’s a “side by side” scale and I’m going down the melody like D3-D2-D1, I find I’m holding down all three at the same time and just lifting each finger up. It kinda

That’s a great question, Tammy. If something feels off or not good, that’s a good indicator to see what’s going on and find a way to adjust/change to help it feel right. Always good to reach out to folks around you, especially people who also play the same instrument and get their opinion.
Holding fingers down on fingerboard can be a good…
