get good at the fiddle and play for Fran Walsh and Moof and Peggy and everyone else at the nursing home (read all 2 entries…)
"when the student is ready, the teacher will appear."
Happened to find the most amazing teacher and she refuses to let me pay her because she’s retired and doesn’t need to make a living but she’s very committed to passing on the traditions of celtic music and fiddling. Only after we begin lessons do I find out she has taught strings at a large university for music performance for a decade and played the violin herself for a lifetime. What are the chances….it really helps she extremely old-school strict and high-expectationed and you can bet in two weeks I have not practiced fewer than 30 minutes a day. I’m almost capable of being listened to, I can get through about 7 reels and jigs, and I just started!! :)
