Welcome,
My name is Don Hicks. I created
mrfiddle.com over ten years ago.
During that time, people of all ages,
all over the world, have used my
violin/fiddle files as a fun way to supplement violin
studies. I'm very pleased
to announce that I am now able to offer
online violin lessons.
To take advantage, you will need to have access to a computer and a
Skype
account. The cost of lessons
is $25 per half hour lesson, payable with
any major credit card. Please send me an Email at
mrfiddle@yahoo.com
for more information and/or
to request a particular time slot.
I look forward to meeting with
you online!

Thank you!
I am glad that you've found my
page for violin/fiddlestudents of all ages. Scroll down on the contents
column to the left,
and you will find QuickTime movies on how to improvise, Major scales in all keys
with finger/note animations, tuning notes with tuning instructions, my original
pieces for violin, MIDI files (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), original
songs, and much more!
All selections have "Popup MIDI
Files". This means that when you "Click" on the MIDI links, your
Internet browser will open and play the songs through your computer's
sound card. They play on WebTV as well! The QuickTime movies require the
most recent version of QuickTime available at
http://www.apple.com You may need to update your Macintosh or Windows
Operating System to meet the new QuickTime standards... Sorry.
That's just the way it is...
Anyway, let's get started! You can
tune up, develop a good bow hold and violin posture, work on a scale,
play a piece, and even learn to improvise! But, remember! Take little steps and try to
make them perfect. Don't try to take on too many new skills at one
time.
