    I too am in the same position as you. Twinkle Twinkle little star is an easy one!!

    Marino Waltz. I know where the left hand should go, and can play it really slowly. Just a case of getting it to sound like a fiddle, and not like a bag of cats...

    I play the mandolin and guitar for years so took up the fiddle last year. I got my sister to show me the ropes on how to hold it. (she plays).

    I taught myself guitar and mando, so am trying to do this the same way. I find it frustrating and the learning curve is very steep.

    I am learning bad habits already, not holding it properly etc.

    I am determined to be able to knock a tune out of it before the end of the year!!

    I went to one lesson,but couldn't go to anymore, but she showed me how to hold it properly and how to hold the bow......
