Amateur fiddlers—if your bow produces a weak, scratchy, harsh, or inconsistent sound, your rhythm feels unstable, or you keep catching multiple strings, this lesson is for you.
In this guided fiddle workout, you’ll learn how to use more bow weight, create a stronger core sound, control the beginning of each stroke, and stay steadier when changing strings.
Grab your fiddle and play along as we work through long bows, stops, rhythm exercises, scales, call-and-response phrases, and improvisation over a groove.
You don’t need to avoid the scratch. You need to learn how to create a strong sound first—then relax it.
