Do you remember that point when you were actually PLAYING the instrument instead of just going through the motions and making noise? It happened today for my fiddle student!! Hooray! Now she finally! believes she can really do this. We're working on Rakes of Mallow, Logan Water,and Down by the Salley Gardens. (several, you know, so she won't get bored).

I had just told her that she was very close to really playing, and don't give up. Then we played Rakes and BY GOLLY, she got it. It was so wonderful to see her face light up---she knew she had done it and recognized then what I had meant.........Yea, Corrie!!
