Hi Fiddlers!
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. We're continuing to work at improving and growing the Fiddle Hangout, with new drawings and site features being rolled out regularly. Be sure to stop by!
Have you checked out the virtual fiddling festival? It's happening!

FROM OUR SPONSORS
Community Commitment at KV
Kennedy Violins is passionate about building strong and healthy music communities locally and nationwide. With countless music programs disappearing each year and eager students unable to afford participation in the arts, they are committed to revitalize organizations in need of support.
Kennedy Violins is constantly involved in community outreach, donating instruments and offering financial support to music programs in need because schools, youth symphonies, local festivals, and competitions won't survive without our individual and collective efforts to keep music vibrantly alive in the world.

Win a Fiddle DVD!
Enter our free drawing for your chance to win a new DVD, John Showman's "Fiddle Shuffle and Groove" from Woodhall Music! Three winners will be chosen!
On this DVD, John Showman teaches fiddle players how to get more tone and groove into their playing by going beyond one-note-per-bow bowing. Beginning with a detailed review of proper and relaxed bowing technique, John then shows how to add varied bowing moves, such as shuffling, syncopation, double stops and free-form bowing, to help the player achieve improved "feel" and "groovy-ness."
