Glad you’re able to pick up the fiddle again! Sounds like you have a good plan. Double stops are doing my head in!

Well done, Mary! That was a great effort and I reckon you’ve improved so much from when you first posted. I get terrified by public performances and shake so much that I couldn’t do a solo like that.

Great version and awesome double stops going on there! I’m so struggling with double stops :! But they sound really good, well done!

Thanks for posting, Mary, and Congratulations on your first public performance! Seems like a very challenging piece going into the upper hand position(s?) and switching to a backup track part way through. Well done!

Oh, forget it; keep playing and having fun!!
Thanks for posting it.

Sounds like you’re enjoying the electric fiddle 😀

You’ve written a new lyric for the song

Working in a winter wonderland…

Nicely done, Michael! Perfect pace and lovely to listen to.

This video did not work, as it copied incorrectly.

Something to aspire to, thanks fixkids! Would also love to hear the difference after your fortnight practice.

That was short, but sweet, Niels. It hard when you’re concentrating the music to worry about your face, but I still do it on songs that I know quite well. I think Jason should do a lesson on how to look cheerful when playing the fiddle because I certainly would like to improve. I’ve tried to consciously smile but when I look at the video it loo…[Read more]

Thanks Debbie! I was really focusing on the variation but listening to it again I realise it sounds a bit muddy on the strings and my timing got out of whack. I’m going to have to do more practice with the metronome.
