Erin Alia	So you want to learn to play the fiddle? (5)	RE: So you want to learn to play the fiddle?	31 Dec 98
As a practicing classical violinist, the first time I heard Celtic and folksy fiddling it spun my head faster than the wheels on a Roman Chariot. The style is so different from what I'm used to hearing that I literally can't follow or predict the notes (something I'm used to doing in a classical piece). I have the basic techiniqe of holding the bow and fiddle, but the style and the music--! Are there any violinists-turned-fiddlers out there that have some tips for coping with the stylistic differences? Any help would be greatly appreciated-- Erin Alia untall@hotmail.com
