Maybe I missed it or it never happened ?
Survey ......Do you take lessons ? Private or school group ? Other ? You Tube ?
I took lessons for about 3 months. My teacher said I was not serious enough. She was right
Haha, when I see the dancing banana at the end of your post, I'm inclined to agree that she was right!
I am amazed at how old people of my age are.....

The truth is that I expected her to play occasional duets but she was reluctant. I think that playing with distraction of other instruments is an important skill and learning tool. I did not want to just go solo while she wolfed down her lunch.
( I'm bad )
When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

I'm working through an internet fiddle course. It's perfect for me because my schedule is so screwy these days and I can work at my own pace. Each lesson has about 8 videos, which is very convenient because I can watch them over and over (and let's face it, over and over again) and go back for a refresher whenever I need to. I don't learn quickly and I'm sure I would frustrate a Real Live teacher if there were any near me. It also simulates duets, but without the wincing on my "partner's" part

Fiddlestix Well, I should have been more cautious at the start. She really did not have room for me in her tight schedule so I wound up as "lunch".
CAT ............ Your fiddle course sounds really worthwhile. Yeah, "instant replay" is handy and, long range, you can re-visit topics as you please.
You get a STAR !!
cdennys ......... Sure 'nuff. Just watch FM and you have to wind up playing like him
(If I had to pick one "life altering" video from the internet pedagogical pool it would be FM's HOW TO HOLD A VIOLIN. )
Yes, you also get a STAR !
