Violin too quiet for jam session ?

HCQ

I second what Michael, Denis and Ben had to say. I did Djando in June back in 2009, and like Ben, moved around to different jam circles to find ones that were at least trying to make a "good" noise, rather than just bashing away. The other thing about jams with so many guitars, other than the sensitivity of guitar/rythm players is that not everybody has to to play all the time. No matter what, evryone has to get under the soloist and make the solo sound good.

One of the hardest skills to learn in violin I gather from a wonderful GJ violinist from holland is to make it project

I had the joy of being in his master class for a few hours 2010 djangofest northwest as the ticket monitor and he did cover this topic

If you get the chance take Tim's masterclass and ask him about projection. I wish I could recall the tips he gave :oops:
