I want to help you learn note-reading so you can more easily play tunes you love.
The ability to read sheet music can help you to learn and play the tunes that you love.
But a lot of fiddlers are intimidated by note-reading. It doesn’t seem worth the effort.
You’re expected to magically be able to read the notes after this quick brief instruction.
I created a course called Note-reading For Fiddlers to help you learn to read in a simple, more natural way.
In this lesson I’m going to summarize the main concepts. The 5 main strategies you’ll learn are:
Strategies For Note-Reading
• Intuitive Note-Reading
• Learn to read in small chunks
• Look for repeating patterns
• Connect your ear to the notes
• Consistent daily practice
On the lesson page you’ll find:
--Sheet music 🎶
--Audio snippets 🔈
--Step-by-step notes to help you get this 📈
--Friendly community of fellow fiddlers 🤓
“Wait, what is FiddleHed?” FiddleHed is the fun way to learn fiddling online. I made a progressive fiddle course to help you on each step of your fiddle journey. Plus, there’s a supportive community that meets on zoom for office hours, group lessons and small student groups💃🕺🏽

Funny, I'm the other way around. I read sheet music very easily and playing by ear is out of my comfort zone. 😋

It has been 55 years since I have played violin. Just got back into it about a week ago. All of my past playing was between the ages of 7 and 14 with a school orchestra, mostly classical, and no playing by ear. My note reading is very rusty, but the truth is I have my doubts about trying to play by ear until I have gotten back into reading music. This video is so helpful because it reminds me that it is ok for me to have to sit down and take the notes one at a time or one measure at a time. I love the idea of making friends with some of the notes. There are a few that when I see them, they are old friends. The G note on the D string is one, the C note on the G string is another. I have been watching your channel for a while now in anticipation of getting me a violin and learning to actually play country music fiddle in Jam sessions, Because of your videos I believe I will be able to be playing well enough to hold my own in a couple of months. Small chunks every day.

I had to learn to read sheet music many years ago, but it was such a chore! And I never really got very good, or proficient at it plus I always had a little sense of disconnect between what I was playing/hearing vs. what I was seeing on the page. Because of that it hasn't been something I've been using regularly so I'm still not very good at it, so I'm going to "re-learn' it now using your much easier and more fun method! I am fully expecting great results. Thank you!

I'm not sure if I can write this in a way that makes sense but here goes. Look at one of the scales that show 1st position notes, starting with the open g of g string and the scale goes in a gradually ascending line ending with the b on the e string. It's easier to see if there is also finger numbers with each note. O.K. I'm sure lots of people have seen this but I haven't heard it mentioned and it helps me. Look at how some notes fall between 2 lines of the staff, like the F A C E notes, the EGBDF have the line through. On the fiddle if a note is between then it is fingered with 0, 2, 4 -even # Note falls with staff line going through, the E G B D F it will be played with odd # finger 1 or 3. Please look at the scale and tell me if it makes sense. For me it's a quick little nudge as I'm learning to play this note but my peripheral vision is sort of anticipating the next. Fewer words might help but I couldn't do it that way. Am I hopelessly lost?
