Nice work, Tom!
I wish I could get my bow to work like that! [Or maybe it’s me?]
Keep on keepin’ on with that machine!

Here is a tune we have been working on in our Saturday hangouts sessions. (Hi Sue and Mary!) It’s a Canadian waltz by Florence Killen, named after her home community of River John, Nova Scotia.
With apologies to dancers who may have to throw in an extra step or two when the timing takes a it of a stutter.

Joanne, I really like this. Good tone and ornamentation, plus a nice driving rhythm with momentum. Those tunes blend really, too.

Fantastic job, Jo! I’m really impressed – 3 minutes straight and not a wrong note!
Such fun! Subbed you on YT so I can follow your progress!
Yay!

Good bow sound Charles!
Just curious: the fiddle sounds like it’s tuned low. Is that so? If not intended, you might want to check the tuning with an electronic tuner.
keep on keeping’ on…

Hey, Charles, great video! Keep them coming – I need you to encourage me!
I’m WAY more experienced than you [six months 9 days in total on the fiddle trail] 🙂 and I haven’t posted yet.
I think that’s going well, really. I’m no-one to offer advice, but I wonder if that chair is helping you to be flexible with your bow arm? Maybe try a stool or…[Read more]

If I can offer one suggestion, it might be about holding the bow. Jason has some good start-up lessons on the site at https://staging.fiddlehed.com/beginner/start-fiddling-now-course-page/pick-up-that-bow/
I know there are different bow holds people use successfully, but I think your hold in the video is a bit rigid and perhaps forces your elbow…[Read more]

Hey Charles,
Stick with comments from other learning fiddler’s! Not bad at all, and smooth bowing for such a beginner. I think you are going to be quite good! It’s your journey, enjoy it; practice often and video once per month, sounds great!!

Well done, Mary. It’s a lovely tune and got my fiddle out to play along. Have to say I love your grimaces when you play – I do them too. I try really hard not to frown or twitch, but my concentration when I play takes over my face. I need Jason to do a lesson on how to do a ‘happy fiddle face’!

It was well done! I’m really impressed and a bit envious of your pinkie. Mine crooks the wrong way so I have to shift to get the note I want and then when I resume my others I’m out of position. I’m working on that — you make it look so easy.
