You should do a video of you playing or something so that we can hear YOU! I took fiddle lessons when I was a junior in high school. It was fun, but it didn't stick. I occasionally pull it out and practice a little, but I'm mainly now a singer.... with occasional piano/guitar thrown in there.
I love these! My daughter just decided she wanted to do instruments in middle school but between chorus, band and p.e./art, she may not get to do one of them:(
ahh- me too! i'm a totttallll sucker for any music with stringed instruments. any time anyone in a civil war movie whips out a banjo i immediately begin to drool everywhere (this mostly just applies to the movie Andersonville.) and i'm just a puddle when it comes to violins. i don't know if you've ever listened to owen pallett before but he does crazy things with his violin jams- looping all kinds of thinking and making beautiful, swoon-worthy songs. he's the violinist from the first arcade fire cd. check out 'the cn tower belongs to the dead' or 'this is the dream of win and regine' so. good.
The violin is one of my favorite instruments. I wanted to learn how to play it so badly when I was younger -- I still secretly wish I were an Irish fiddler. I think I'd spend all my time in pubs at night, jamming with people. That first photo is wonderful. You need to do something like that. I love how unexpected that is.
that first picture makes me smile. Have fun playing :) xx
