Dear lovely, brand new fiddlers v2.png

I adore you!  I wish more adults had the openness and confidence to develop new, complex skills from scratch!

But in most cases I suggest that those who have never played the fiddle before find a good local, in-person teacher, if one is available, to help set you up for long-term success with your posture and bow technique.

YouTube is also a nice free source for basic information, of course.  However, I strongly recommend against relying on YouTube exclusively. You miss a LOT without continual one-on-one feedback from a teacher in your first year or two of playing.  It's just too darn easy to develop habits that are incredibly difficult to break, and which will massively impede your progress down the road.  Injury is a real possibility. This is true on any instrument, but doubly so on the fiddle which is extremely complex ergonomically.

If you're determined to go this route, please consider booking an a la carte lesson with me so I can give feedback on how you're doing so far and what to keep in mind as you go forward.
