Hello :) I'm Marta and I'm from Poland.

I've been playing violin for 11 months now. I'm moving to Scotland this year (to Inverness) and I hope to learn some Scottish tunes. For now I've learned "Flower of Scotland" and "Skye Boat Song". :) Other folk songs are too fast for me, but I hope I'll get better.

I'm also learning Polish songs. I'll post them in another topic. :)

Have a good day! violin-student

Hi Marta:

Welcome to the forum.  I am jealous that you get to live in Scotland.  I live in California (I love it here too).

Enjoy the forum. Thanks for saying Hello.  I was playing Skyeboat song QUITE a bit yesterday.

Welcome to the forum, Marta :) I echo Toni, I'd love to get to live in Scotland. I'd be fiddling all over and going crazy taking pictures of all the new to me sights :) All my hobbies would be fulfilled, haha.

Thanks for welcoming me guys! hats_off

@BillyG oh you live in a wonderful place :)

Aye, I'm learning Scottish accent :P I mean, I try :D I also want to learn gaelic when I get there, it's beautiful.

@cdennyb who knows, maybe I get the chance ;)

@coolpinkone I've never been to California, but I've heard it's lovely!

How do you like Skyboat?

@damfino That's exactly what I plan to do exactlyI fell in love with Scotland 6 years ago when I went to Edinburgh, but when I visited Inverness with my boyfriend last year (and later this year) we decided to move there for a while. Highlands are unique ;)

@marta - California is very very beautiful.  I adore it here.  I am spending more time in the mountains and trails this past few years.  I have spent my life on the Northern Pacific Coast areas as well.  I love the Pacific Ocean and California Landscape.  I don't think I will ever leave my home state.

Hey Marta, great to meet you & welcome to the Fiddlerman family! :)

 

Hey, I'll be interested in seeing/hearing Polish violin music from a native. I'll be looking for your posts of them. :)
