The Best Way to Learn
2013 October 24
Last spring, I walked into my friend and fiddle player David Mosher’s house. Two random triangular, three-stringed instruments were sitting on a table.
“What are these, David?” I asked.
“Oh! Those are The balalaikas! Russian instruments from the 1800s,” he said. “I just got them for a Wild Swan performance this month.”
“Do you know how to play them?” I asked.
“I will before the performance,” he said, nonchalantly.
It reminded me: The best way to learn, is to give yourself a project.
