“There are things about how a note sounds on a violin that are really analogous to the human voice - you have a frequency and the air, and then you have a timbre which really is overtones - and making those things work together is one thing. The other thing is mechanical: If you can use your hands and arms to create sound on a fiddle, then learning to sing with it is like adding a third body part. And it's all training.” IfsHumansUseBodyHandsTogetherSoundVoiceOne ThingAirArmsTrainingThirdsNotesWorking TogetherFrequencyViolinFiddleHuman VoiceTimbre Author:Bruce Molsky
“I had to learn that slower is faster. If you practice every day with patience and correctness, you will get there. It's like preparing for a jump. You can't rush. You must summon the appropriate energy with split-second timing and have an understanding of purpose to get up in the air. It requires training, confidence and mental effort.

“I do remember that when we left [Bernard Leach] after two and a half years, we went home on a boat again - this was before air travel became really easy - and Alix [MacKenzie] turned to me and she said, "You know, that was a great two years of training, but that's not the way we're going to run our pottery."” KnowsWayYearsSaidTwoHomeRunningRememberLeftEasyHalfAirTrainingBoatTwo YearsPotteryHalf A YearAir Travel Author:Warren MacKenzie
