Hi All,
Luthie here…aka Kay.
just started to play this spring. Using Allison sparrow’s online lessons. Have completed the first 10 and am working on the first song book.
I live in rush ny but spend summer weekends in the 1000 Islands. I like to practice on my docked boat!
here is a pic of me practicing in the yard while I enjoy the water view.
I bought a bubble g1 to get started.
look forward to following the forums!
cheers Luthie!

Welcome from another new member and player. It's a good place to learn and enjoy the company of other musically inclined folks. I think it's a great place.

Hi Luthie,
How are you getting on with Alison Sparrow ? I’ve also been doing her lessons I accidentally missed out song book one and moved onto lessons 11-20 ? I’ve been learning almost a year now! How are you finding it ? You look like you are well in the way from your pic 😀

Welcome to the forum, Luthie. I have Alison Sparrow's song books. I don't follow as a lesson schedule, just play some of those songs.
I am mostly cello, but like viola and violin. Actually been doing more on violin, lately.
You should check out the Party Room. Maybe there is a party or two you can join in one. The first post in each party pretty much tells you the type of song to do a video of you playing for that party. I am not positive, without checking, but I think the current one is a slow song. The party rooms never close, so old parties are still active.

@Luthie -
I'm confused.
Why do you mention starting with a Bubble G1?

@ELCBK I think Luthie- meant a BuNNel G1 violin.

@Mouse -
Thank you!
You can imagine my surprise when I searched Bubble G1!
@Luthie -
WELCOME!
To the Fiddlerman Forum.
So glad you made it here - figured more members might find you!
It sounds like you're off to a great start and hopefully
you'll benefit from what this wonderful forum has to offer.
So nice to see you're playing outside!
What made you decide to pick up the Fiddle this Spring?
What kind of music do you like?
Can't wait to hear more!

I know so little that if Allison Sparrow isn't a good teacher I wouldn't know! I assume she picked the songs in book one because they build on each other and slowly move you forward. Mostof them I have never hearde before so I have to learn the tune in order to know when I play it wrong. This is slowing me down a bit.
Yes, Bunnell G1, not bubble g1 (darn spell checker on I phone)!
BTW...the name Luthie is actually the name I gave my violin. It is a take off on luthier and it rhymes with Ruthie aka Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of my personal heroes.
I have been meaning to learn the violin for decades. I am nearly retired so now have the bandwidth to do so. Enjoying to the hilt.
That's all for now!

@Luthie -
Have you tried any of the wonderful Fiddlerman Tutorials?
I always think it's great to try tutorials from many different sources - even if you're only working on one tune in particular, it's more points of view.
