Fiddle Introduction
Master the fiddle bow by learning its parts—the frog, screw, stick, tip, and horse hair—and how to adjust tension with the screw.
Master the right-hand bow hold by placing the thumb at the frog, curling the fingers around the stick, keeping a relaxed wrist, and using the pinky for balance and control.
Practice pinky push-ups on the bow to develop a curled pinky and improve bow balance, then gain comfort with left-hand support before moving on.
Compare the classical violin hold with the fiddle hold, showing why a heavier bow prompts a higher grip and a flexible range of hand positions for fiddle music.
Learn how rating a course affects ranking, detail five-star to one-star scales with percentage and letter-grade mappings, and note that the instructor is available to help.
Explore how rosin color and texture affect tone and grip, from darker amber for louder sound to lighter rosin for easier speed, and how to break in and apply rosin.
Hold the violin like a guitar, neck in the crease of your left hand with the thumb away, then rest it on your left shoulder with a straight wrist.
attach the shoulder rest to the violin by aligning the feet with the ridge, then adjust the angle to about 45 degrees for a comfortable fit on your shoulder.
Discover why a shoulder rest stabilizes the violin for beginners. Learn how to fit it for comfort, about one inch from the neck at a 45-degree angle.
Learn to tune a violin using chromatic tuners, apps, camber tuners, or tools, adjust pegs and fine tuners, and keep the A, D, G strings in tune with practical tips.
Learn to tune the fiddle's A string to the A note, using a tuning note, and focus on the second string in the upcoming video.
Tune the fiddle by setting the D string to the D note, and preview tuning the G note in the next video.
Learn how to tune the fiddle's G string to the G note on the fourth string, using step-by-step guidance.
Learn practical fiddle tuning tips using a tuner app, bow-based adjustments with fine tuners, and a quick, multi-string re-tuning routine to compensate string tension.
