I have a new teacher! I have to go on a long subway ride for lessons, but it's worth it - she seems to be an experienced teacher, so things are going pretty well. She seems to be knowledgeable in a range of fiddle playing styles.
She has told me to play jigs with the 1st and 4th notes of each bar (6/8 time) with more emphasis - to play those notes using more bow, and harder, so as to not play each note with equal loudness.
I'm playing Boil Them Cabbage Down, with various rhythms - I guess this I'm doing a bit of Suzuki method, and is the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star of fiddle playing? I'm not bored doing repetitive stuff so it's okay.
