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

One of my SPC goals is to learn and play songs on the fiddle. I’m starting by strumming the fiddle like a mandolin, which is easier. I’ll work towards being able to bow and sing songs.

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 […]

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.
