What can I work on to sound more fiddly😀
I’ve never videoed my play but I just learned a lot from it! I would love tips on how to bow like a fiddler, please. Not sure if this is where I’m supposed to add a video? Thank you!

@Jenny O'Connor I just saw these comments and your advise on playing in the upper half of the bow for fiddle tunes. I tried this today and it works so much better. I seem to have better bow control and a more measured time while playing Irish tunes. Thank you all for bringing this subject up!

Some Blue belt stuff
Sorry about the intonation. I’m practicing for 4 vibrato wavers at the moment . But confident enough to post up to 2 wavers on this 😅

Hot Cross Buns at an Easter Dinner 😅
Another violinist sent this to me today. We agreed we hadn’t thought much about Hot Cross Buns being an actual food item. Happy Easter! 😋🎻

But they’re really delicious! Especially when warm from the oven! Happy Easter to all!

La Familie Le Blanc Quebecois fiddler's bow hold
OK, Once I got past the "eye candy factor" (which,believe me, took awhile🫤) I noticed the oldest daughter's bow hold . Not sure if all French Canadian Quebecois fiddlers hold their bows like this or not. She's definately got her own thing going on here.ttps://youtu.be/AF3TgdBIGMk?si=sPnsvlBBNHdHNoIq

Great song! Beautifully played and the bow hold is unbelievable! I am amazed that she can play that fast and well with that hold!

Irish tune share anyone? 🍀
St Paddy's came up quick this year! How about a virtual jam session and sheet music swap? Feel free to drop your Irish videos or sheet music in the comments of this thread. I know I have several gems I can dig up over the weekend and share with you all.... Irish fiddle style is what first got me into this crazy instrument we all love. Sláinte

@Jenny O'Connor when I lived in Ennis, Ireland the pubs were filled on Friday and Saturday nights with local musicians and all sat while playing! A wonderful sound with age's ranging from about 14-70! Never thought about the lack of vibrato though. Most were played very quickly, so vibrato not used.

I've been playing violin several years. My biggest problem is my bowing, always angling off. Love both classical & Irish jigs and reels!
