That's wonderful that you're interested in traditional Scottish fiddling, since it's part of your heritage and you have a great instructor close by. I'm drawn to that style, also, but there's no instructors in my neck of the woods, for that style. Congradulations.

I'm glad you got a teacher...I went for about 6 months before finding one, and had to unlearn all sorts of bad habits...still unlearning them!! So, it's easier to start out right than it is to back track!! Enjoy..and just be more stubborn than the fiddle!!

Scottish fiddling yessss! I've got Alisdair Fraser living near me, great; got Jonny Cunningham videos to watch and records to listen to; got my Jonny Hardy records, etc. So many great ones. Now if only I could play as well as these guys. I'm thinkin' it'll take me another few months.
