Right now, sometimes even I feel…[Read more]

Thistle – Wasn’t tired til I got home! Was so out of my comfort zone, I had to try and keep up (was just playing alternate notes in the beginning) but kind of started speeding up after a couple of hours as there is no time to think or second guess yourself – There were 2 other classical ladies in…[Read more]

Totally awesome people, they packed 6 hours of lessons into each day, 6 teachers rotating every 45 minutes with new tunes, tons of funny old fiddle…[Read more]

I am not sure if the fiddle matches the bow, seen fiddlers pick up basically anything and play like they owned it, but that…[Read more]

I’m kinda getting them while going through the tutorials, so not a biggie – awesome site!

I’m hoping it just happens with tons of practice.

So I’m working through The King of the Fairies
and Hommage à Philippe Bruneau

It seems they just put the slurs and slides and all wherever they feel, (I might be wrong)
Honestly think I fumbled through classical, I was OK-ish but not good enough for an orchestra or anything, so maybe it’s a…[Read more]

I can’t quite let go of the sheet music yet, I try to memorize the tune first and then kind of ignore what I…[Read more]
