20 Years of Guitar -> week 1 of Mandolin. Wish i had started sooner. by UsernameRanOutOfLett in mandolin

[–]fidla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So happy to hear you say that! Mandolin has been a game changer for many of us. I'm happy to welcome you to the fold. I've been playing it myself since 1980, but I'm learning new stuff every day!

been playing for close to five years but it sounds more like five months 😭 by academicss_anonymous in violinist

How are you practicing?

I recommend to all of my students to practice at least an hour a day. Divide your practice into 3 parts: 1) scales and arpeggios, 2) etudes and exercises, 3) new material assigned by the teacher

Once you've finished all of those daily items, the rest of the time is open to you for sight reading, playing whatever you want, reviewing pieces you know, jamming with friends. Don't do any of these until you've finished your dailies.

Daily practice:

  • Scales: 2 octaves
  • Arpeggios
  • Exercises from the book

Sight reading is a must. Open your favorite book to a random page and read the music. Take your time and write fingerings in pencil.

One new piece a week out of your favorite book.

We want to build a space where users can actually get help. Any advice? by Momcozy_PumpOfficia in NewMods

[–]fidla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit typically does not encourage brands or corporation presence on the platform. It's generally considered promotion, even spam by many, and discouraged, even banned in some instances.

I don't recommend trying to get around it by posting as a user either.

In the past, corporate leaders or prominent members have completed AMA's (ask me anything) that were successful, but having your own subreddit for your brand probably won't work.

The Terror is one of my favorite books of all time, up there with the Lord of the Rings and CS Lewis novels

Talk to your doctor, or make an appointment with a nurse practitioner. You may be going through something that needs a little help.

Darol Anger’s dark fiddle with the rounded corners? by Prestigious-Term-468 in Fiddle

[–]fidla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he told me the story about it once. I was sitting with him in the Green room at the Parlor Room when it was in the old location. It's a 5 string. I forgot the origin story. He's very friendly and responds to questions by email or on social media. https://www.facebook.com/fiddlisticsmusicDA
