Casey, you will learn foot tapping and not regret. It was the very first thing I remember learning from Andre a couple years ago. I now find myself doing it without thinking when I play fiddle or listening to fiddle tunes, haha. And yeah I know what you mean about how many tunes there are 🙂

Very cool…so many tunes and so little time!!

I’m also considering trying out the foot tapping thing as well as working through Niall’s chopping series…those are two things I’ve never tried and think would be cool to add to my bag of tricks…

Thanks for the input, guys. I’ll do some research on Discord to see if I think that would be a good solution/enhancement…stay tuned. Feel free to chime in with other thoughts, folks…

Dipping my toe into Quebecois music for the first time! I’m starting with a somewhat familiar one (Valse du Chef du Gare, which I’d actually heard Andre play on a CD) and hoping to work my way up to Beaulieu Reel and La Gigue de Terre Bonne. I’m also going back through a lot of Hanneke’s stuff and practicing the ornamentation now I have the notes down. 😛

Le Jig à Ti-Toine (Hanneke Cassel)! Paired with Cypress Jig. I love them!

For whatever reason, David Benedict uses Discord to complement his Patreon site. I’m more familiar with Slack since a lot of tech companies use it. I’ve used free groups to facilitate communication in graduate classes that I teach.

I’m currently learning Maid Behind the Bar, memorizing the notes. Can’t wait till I can slowly speed it up… 🙂 Also working on Beaulieu from Andre’s lessons. One of my favorites.

Discord is typically used for social gaming connection, but I can see discord possibly being used for this as well. I haven’t tried the other two.

Hey, Lisa. Couldn’t agree more – the forum could use a refresh. I’ll have to learn something about those options.

Other folks who use this site – does anybody advocate one of the options Lisa listed over the others? I’ve never used any of them…

I’ll do some thinking. And other folks feel free to chime in.

Hi, MC1200.

I appreciate your feedback. Our production team has lowered the volume in some of the more recently produced videos, but the outro bumper audio for older lessons definitely is a bit hot. At some point, we’ll remaster the older lessons to get the audio (and video quality) in line with the newer lessons produced.

Thanks for your…[Read more]
