Hi Casey,

That’s super helpful, thank you. I definitely need to slow down a little (I blame the excitement!), the metronome will be useful for that.

I’m definitely lucky to have a fair amount of spare time at the moment, and filling it with fiddle practice is great. I do live in close proximity to others however, so most of the practice is…[Read more]

Hi, Oliver.

Good question. All three are a valuable use of time!

Based on your experience level, I would recommend trying to include a little technique work every time you have a practice session. If you have a 30 minute time frame to practice in, I’d probably start out on 10-15 minutes of technique/exercise work on whatever particular…[Read more]

It’s funny, lots of folks I know in NJ/PA (and New England) play Maison de glace but don’t know Le printemps. Guess they don’t have all of Andre’s albums!

Hi, Rorylaney.

Andre isn’t on the site very often, but I’ll pass your comments onto him. I’d love to get him back in the studio…maybe later next year. We’ll be pulling together a request list at that time, and I’ll make sure this tune is on the list.

All the best!!

Casey, who is the “other new instructor,” again? I LOVE Andre’s stuff and can’t wait to learn it!

I ended up with a GX. I was able to trial the NX and the GX for a week and got to try the SX for a few minutes. I didn’t like the weight balance (I felt like it was too close to my hand) of the SX – though some people might like the way it felt. I’m still not sure the GX was worth the price jump up from the NX but I do enjoy the light and…[Read more]

You bet, guys. Thanks much for the kind words. Andre is amazing. I’ll edit out several more of his lessons and then start working on our other new instructor’s material!! Fun times!

Hi Singalong,
Thank you for your kind words to FiddleVideo. I know Casey will appreciate the sentiment. I know I’m excited about all the new fiddle content and Andre is a great addition to the instructors. Thanks for chiming in on the forum. Best, Roland, Moderator

Thank you, Fiddle Video, for bringing Andre Burnet and his Quebecois style to this website! I am excited beyond belief! I have often wondered if I could ever learn the foot stepping part along with the fiddle playing ever since I saw a Quebecois group in concert years ago. This is a great opportunity to find out.

I am looking forward to seeing…[Read more]

They definitely get better the more they are played. I got a violin off ebay that hadn’t been played since the 40’s at least. no strings or tailpiece or even a nut. I got it fixed and it was just ok. I was disappointed but I kept it. I’ve been playing it for several years now and people have complimented on its tone. It has changed a great…[Read more]

so what did you end up getting, Newfiddler?

Ah ha, Today is the day as I discover at 3 am on a sleepless night that the first batch of Andre’s lessons are now now on FiddleVideo.

Thank you Casey for all your hard work bringing FV new material. OK Fiddlers Time to Start tapping your feet and while moving your arms and fingers. Have fun. with this exciting fiddle style. Roland

I let Andrea Beaton know I mentioned her as a potential instructor. Cheers.
