Please note that I’m a folk musician and fiddler, and I don’t consider myself a classical violinist. In my experience of the folk tradition, techniques tend to be somewhat informal, variable, and flexible, so take what I say with a grain of salt :) My thoughts on fiddling are based on my own personal musical experience. If you’re looking for more formal violin technique and instruction, there are other resources out there that are geared towards that!
These videos are not intended as a substitute for the advice of a medical professional (when it comes to any thoughts on techniques such as posture, hand placement, etc).
Happy fiddling, friends!

Very beautiful Liz, I really appreciate your playing. I've grabbed my fiddle and started playing again after a dry spell of 20 yrs. Can't believe how rusty I have gotten. It's almost like I never played before. My wife and I used to play with Idaho Old Time Fiddlers and played for a lot of dances. I have a CD with Harvest Home on it and wanted to learn to play it, and with your help I just about have it. Just wanted to thank you and know you are so appreciated. God Bless you kiddo. Tim

This English country dance published by John Playford in the early 18th century is very beautiful.

Wonderful tune (is it a barndance?) and interesting variation, I really like it. It's always a pleasure listen to you dear Liz. 🧡

Thanks so much for yet another great English tune. Btw your fiddle looks a _lot_ like mine. Is it by any chance an older German model?

[@joekagerer]

The hardest part about this tune is the D minor 🤣😂 my fingers don't have those notes! Thank you for the count in! Theory question for you. How do you tell D minor from F major, is it the one accidental C# at the end?
