Czardas - Mainly Mozart Resilience Festival Band (Zach & Alex DePue, Violins) The Fiddler - Alex DePue 2021-10-05 | One of my life's most musical moments, all documented via video here from the Mainly Mozart Festival's 2020 Season, as performed with my kid brother (let's be fair, he's certainly not anything like a "kid" anymore, especially when he lights into that fiddle!), Mr. Zachary DePue. This time, Zach is literally improvising, on the spot, what one could only deem the unwritten second violin part (just as it SHOULD have been written!), and along with yours truly playing the original score for solo violin, as written by Monti... but THEN, folks, and without giving away all of our surprises (you must listen!), we have also featured here IMMENSE talent from the likes of these other alien-like creatures who are just overflowing with musicality: -Flugelhorn / trumpeter, Mr. Conrad Jones-Joshua Fobare playing the everlasting trill on that piano (lol), along with -Matt Scarano on the drums, and last, yet certainly never least, -Ranaan Meyer with some BEAUTIFUL solo work on the double bass. "Solo" on the double bass, you say?! YES! You won't even believe it! It was truly my own mad, MAD pleasure having had the opportunity in joining up with these young cats to provide a night of much-needed beauty last year, all made possible by the lovely Nancy Laturno and the beloved Mainly Mozart organization. Tonight's upload extends also the most honorable mentions going out to my beloved wife, -Aria Noelle Curzon-DePue, for her video editing skills, and also -Mrs. Katie McBride-Muzquiz, the not-so-often-heard-name, responsible for making the wheels of that Mainly Mozart bus run impeccably perfectly spinnin' round and round.Much love to ALL y'all from your Fiddler tonight!

We will explore an area of technique development often found deficient within the overall technique for many violinists, from the beginner, and believe it or not... all the way into the realm of those professional violinists, sustaining their living as such.As violinists passionate about what we do, this area of progress and growth on the instrument, is VITAL for your own independent success!By the end of this workout, assuming you follow the rules, and play along with the tutorial, you WILL FEEL THE BURN. You will feel the muscular strengthening of that bulbous part, at the base of your left pinky, which dictates whether or not you will obtain the strength needed to implement a nice, curved pinky, each time it lands on you fingerboard.There's no easy way out... oh, wait. Yes there is?!It is by following along with this video! One week, with this at the top of your practice routine? And then YOU will be the proud owner of a new and improved, STRENGTHENED left pinky! Essential for correct technique, which enables the student / player, consistency, accuracy, and dependable pinky prowess!Just watch and listen the first time, from beginning to end. Then, and for the next week of your own private pinky training, begin the video / podcast at 12:20 in. From there, and for a good WEEK, play along with the video, giving 100% effort at keeping up all the way through, and by the end of the week? NEW VIOLINIST. (You)!I want to hear the success stories which are inevitable should you follow these directions for that one week of intense and laborious focus on that muscle. It will tire, you will feel the burn... let that muscle repair itself, and then go right back at it!Start with the "easy" string, (the e-string) and, along with proper adjustment with each new string, from the effort of the left elbow, allow each progression to challenge you further, while conquering each step of the process along the way.Remember, know when to walk away! Leave each practice session feeling like the superhero you ARE, vs. waiting for too long, mixing up your personal mood to the point of that feeling of defeat before putting the violin back in its case.Instead, CELEBRATE the VICTORIES, and then begin one step back from where you ended your practice the day before, and conquer on that new day? NEW GROUND!Go git'em.S U P P O R T V I A P A Y P A L ➔ https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...F A C E B O O K ➔ https://www.facebook.com/AlexDePueOff...I N S T A G R A M ➔ instagram.com/thefiddlerllcR E V E R B N A T I O N ➔ reverbnation.com/alexdepueT W I T T E R ➔ twitter.com/alexdepueW E B S I T E ➔ alexdepue.comR E D D I T ➔ https://www.reddit.com/user/thefiddle...P A T R E O N ➔ patreon.com/alexdepueT I K T O K ➔ vm.tiktok.com/Xn2FVwL I N K E D I N ➔ https://www.linkedin.com/company/thef...Alex DePue's original arrangement of viral video mashup Owner of a Lonely Heart / Smooth Criminal S H E E T M U S I C ➔ https://alexdepue.com/product/owner-o... the-fiddler-llc.comspontaneousrecords.com

We're talkin' about musicians and music APPRECIATORS worldwide, with the series launch of (Season 1): "The Fiddler's Forum (podcast) - Episode One - DePue Record "Modern Paganini", How The Title Happened, the World Tour With@SteveVaiHimself , @officialchannelrhondavincent. @TheMerleHaggard , & @bachsynthesia ".Just think for a moment about this title. Merely combining those names, and then packaged into one episode of a new series of episodes, certainly as eclectic as this first one... it's unprecedented behavior in the name of entertainment! It requires a rare breed of music appreciators to even dig, initially, what is the concept for this new-form kind of podcast."The Fiddler's Forum", a new kind of podcast presented to you by The Fiddler, LLC, a California based company, under which DePue conducts all of his "business" affairs, including (but not limited to) the likes of "in-house" record company, Spontaneous Records, the recording studio itself, OVNI Studios, and also his, again, "in-house" publishing company, "Compulsive Fiddler", which resulted from having been under the professional care, and in the band three years, for legendary guitarist Steve Vai (2007 - 2010).Under the same umbrella (The Fiddler LLC), Alex DePue has recorded, and continues to also perform, with yet another guitar legend, best known in his native land of Mexico, a flamenco guitarrista Señor Miguel De Hoyos. Together they produce a sound yet unmatched in today's world of musics, and often referred to as "DePue De Hoyos". It is an organic combination of distinctively different musical tastes and thus, cultures. The result? DePue explains; "Take the twisted, rocked-out acoustic violin sound you know already, and then super-impose that on top of this native, organically authentic, Mexican groove from De Hoyos, and then we've all got somethin' new to talk about! I'm currently re-mastering our best-seller worldwide, the debut album for the duo, called "Underground Whispers", and havin' a blast doin' it."With our first, "pilot episode" of The Fiddler's Forum, DePue hosts the show solo, and includes what we should call, "Stories From The Road"... content you can count on finding nowhere else!For YOU, the music lover, we will enjoy the "long-form" episodes like this, the first of its kind, "The Fiddler's Forum (podcast) - Seas.1, Ep. #01 - Modern Paganini, Steve Vai, The Queen of Bluegrass Rhonda Vincent, Merle Haggard, & JS Bach", along with other episodes which will be designed for the actual players (tutorials where having a violin in hand will serve ya best)... but not only for violinists: For most musicians, DePue's podcast will prove to be beneficial from having only heard the content. But our goal is to introduce for you implementation of some older musical concepts, tried and true in origin, but then to apply them for what is our current "norm" in the year 2021, globally.

This production was then ripped from the DVD, and re-mastered at OVNI Studios in Ensenada, Mexico; Now available worldwide in digital form to become preserved here on YouTube for ages to come. The PBS Emmy-Award winning documentary, "Music For Every Occasion - The True Story of the DePue Family Musicians", began its run at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) and the WBGU-TV audiences there, locally. The documentary quickly showed promise for National exposure, with Director Shawn Brady at the helm, demonstrating his own prowess through excellent story-telling, and scripted narrative, beautifully performed by James Dumke.The documentary's story features the DePue Family Musicians, now more popularly known as "The DePue Brothers", and does not skip any detail. From the more personal side of the brothers' lives as musicians, all the way to the demise of their mother, Linda DePue, the documentary leaves in its wake, thought-provoking concern for the family on a personal level, and leads its audience toward future celebrations the family would then encounter - the most notable of which, being deemed "Musical Family of the Year" by then-President, George H. Bush through direct communication from the White House.S U P P O R T V I A P A Y P A L ➔ https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...F A C E B O O K ➔ https://www.facebook.com/AlexDePueOff...I N S T A G R A M ➔ instagram.com/thefiddlerllcR E V E R B N A T I O N ➔ reverbnation.com/alexdepueT W I T T E R ➔ twitter.com/alexdepueW E B S I T E ➔ alexdepue.comR E D D I T ➔ https://www.reddit.com/user/thefiddle...P A T R E O N ➔ patreon.com/alexdepueT I K T O K ➔ vm.tiktok.com/Xn2FVwL I N K E D I N ➔ https://www.linkedin.com/company/thef...Alex DePue's original arrangement of viral video mashup Owner of a Lonely Heart / Smooth Criminal S H E E T M U S I C ➔ https://alexdepue.com/product/owner-o...https:// the-fiddler-llc.comspontaneousrecords.com

I started acting at 6 years old, and after a short while I was working quite often, and having the time of my life! I genuinely loved every moment, and I feel so lucky to have parents who both allowed and supported me in exploring that part of myself! But still, I never felt confidant with my voice. I grew to LOVE musical theatre in my early teens, and that gave me the courage to explore and try new things, to tell the STORY of a song, to express a character, and to fall and get back up more times than I can count. I am still in that process, and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to continue evolving into what my own personal contribution to the arts will be. I love learning about what makes people the way they are, and what moves them. I also love animals with my whole heart, and fervently desire to see a more peaceful and just world which treats those most vulnerable with the love and care they so deeply need.Well, luckily for me, the love of my dreams was still waiting for me. I reconnected with a violin teacher and friend from my past who very quickly brought the light back into my eyes, and the music into my heart. From day one, he has been there to make sure I don't give up on myself, and to remind me regularly of who I am and what I have to give the world. To keep working, stretching, growing, and not letting the discomfort of uncertainty stop me from going through the necessary steps for improvement. To create a VISION for my life. To not being afraid to think and dream big. And in the times we have ALL faced this past year, those precious reminders are increasingly ever more important. It would be very easy to give up, many days. But, I'm still here, and just that alone is enough of a reason to keep trying. Sometimes, pursuing a dream of any kind, can feel a lot like the movie “Groundhog Day". Going through the same thing, day in and day out, having no idea when it will change, but slightly tweaking your choices every day until you solve the space time continuum, and win.My goal is to use my voice to make this world a little brighter. If I can change even one person's life, the way some of my favorite artists have changed mine? Well, that alone would be worth it." - Aria Noelle Curzon the-fiddler-llc.comspontaneousrecords.com
Partita #3 (Preludio) in E Major by J.S. Bach - Alex DePue, violin The Fiddler - Alex DePue 2020-10-13 | Here we have my only take on this Preludio, Bach's infamous first movement from his Partita #3 in E Major. The microphone is off-camera, as I'm more mic'ing the room, and not so much the violin. Everything is quiet (rare these days! lol) and I got into the mood last night, so let it rip. The Manley Gold Reference mic sends the raw signal straight on into the vintage Avalon Tube Preamp... a true luxury, both of those items, for processing what has been, up until this point, an entirely analog production.However, from here, the signal path does take a turn, right on into the digital age of today, but we're doing so through use of the most sensitive processor available in recording world, the Apollo 16 digital interface. The Apollo takes the analog signal and interprets into something the computer (iMac Pro) can read. From there, the Apollo is set up to beam that same signal directly into a live track, found within a new session via Pro Tools (my DAW). With a few plugins on that track, and I do mean a few... like, three, we then have this sound heard in the new video. I believe... it is my OPINION... that recordings, and the process needed to accomplish professional sounding recordings, is best realized for the solo violin, using exactly this combination of studio-geek luxuries. They are truly better than whatever one might deem today's "industry standard". For those of you paying attention, the three plugins I use are:1) EQ - a seven-band equalization plug where I do use a hi-pass filter, a bump (around 4dB) at 250 Hz, with a nice smile carved into the sonic spectrum from 1000 - 4 kHz, and that's it, really. The violin (1910 Ernst Kessler (Berlin), includes a fantastic high-end shine from the e-string. Sometimes I find it important to just be aware of how much of that gets picked up by the Manley, and often find need for attenuating the top end of the spectrum... just the slightest rolloff from 5 - 17 kHz. That much should make ANY fiddle sound pretty darn good, no matter what mic... and no matter be it live or in studio, this is a pretty solid plan. God forbid ya find yourself at the mercy of a "sound tech", having to explain these moves? Don't let that be you. Travel with your own equipment, and adjust your tone prior to sending your signal anywhere else (FOH, or monitors). I highly recommend the LR Baggs eq pedal, specifically designed with acoustic instruments in mind. I go nowhere without it. 2) Compression - just enough to flick the visual meter... hopefully not enough to even hear, but it IS there, and really, this matter is one of the reasons as to why anyone goes to a professional recording studio in the first place. This brings your softer passages UP in volume, and your louder sounds, DOWN in volume, thus "compressed". With an effort toward preserving whatever dynamics are included within any performance, I choose to use compression, especially for solo violin, with a large amount of discretion! Its equivalent, in the real world, could be... maybe... makeup. No makeup? Bland, maybe boring... a bit homely looking. lol And then TOO MUCH makeup? Instant whore. So... use your ears. If you're hearing your own innately performed dynamics disappearing as you listen? That is the first symptom from having too much compression.3) Reverb - nothing fancy. I use a preset, actually, found within the "stock reverbs" within Pro Tools, called "Performance Hall" (the verb itself is called, "Real Verb Pro"), and then adjust the mix volume of the effect, always DOWN from where it began automatically, toward something sensible. Sometimes, the atmosphere one can SEE while enjoying a video of this nature, does not match the sound we're hearing. Such is the case, here! lolBut I invite you to close your eyes, and instead, envision the player (in this case it is me) standing on a stage, with the more correct environment (a concert hall), and I will bet that your perception of what that sounds like, WILL indeed match perfectly!Happy listening! Use this information to begin forming for yourself what will be YOUR studio sound!

Julie Andrews was mesmerizing in EVERY way, and the soundtrack worked its way into my psyche in a very personal, and permanent manner! A little later on in life, during a musical tenure in Atlantic City, I would often play this tune with a good buddy and band mate, Michael Kraft, during our regular gig at The Bacchanal, way up at the top of Caesar's Palace. FUN times, GREAT music, MANY stories!I've brought "My Favorite Things" back for TODAY's audience, as a solo performance from my home studio in Ensenada, and I hope it brings back as many fond memories for you as it does for me... with a little bit of the rock and roll twist I've come to call my own! Please LIKE and SHARE, and let me know what you think in the comments... I'd love to know what song you might like to hear me arrange next! This release is dedicated to that friend, Michael Kraft, who is someone I will always hold in high esteem, with the deepest respect.

(Ughhg).Join us for MORE treasured content from violinist / fiddler Alex DePue by signing on with our $5 level at patreon.com/alexdepueViolinist Alex DePue explains in detail exactly what is going on for this performance of one of our favorite childhood songs, "This Old Man". But because of the rather judgmental title (ahem), we've decided on "Knick-Knack" as our NEW title, and hope you enjoy the arrangement DePue came up with on-the-spot, in front of a live audience in Los Angeles, California, as they had just requested a demonstration as to "What IS fiddling?"! DePue certainly did have an answer for 'em, and we hope you can enjoy this short snippet from that show! Long-time friend, Bob Stane, hosts one of Alex DePue's favorite venues up there in LA, known as "The Coffee Gallery Backstage" (in Altadena, CA). This is the first release from this, DePue's first truly "solo" show, as he performed both sets (for a total of 90 minutes worth of violin SHOW) that night to a roaring ovation with each selection. The audience had aaaalmost as much fun as Alex did! ...and each release from this show will be first premiered for our most supportive of supporters, a private screening, if you will, for a private crowd... with those who SHOW their support for The Fiddler. Be IN our "Cool Club"! You have the opportunity to become one of the FIRST music-lovers to share his work, not just once... but EVERY SINGLE TIME Alex DePue releases something new for the whole world to hear? You're gonna be there FIRST. Why is that important?It is important for Alex to have a close-knit group of friends and fans who care on this level, or he would just plain quit. hahaha but seriously. If there were no people who cared enough to even listen, set aside "support"... well then what sense would that make? We NEED you over there, FIRST of all, for the emotional/psychological aspect this sensitive fiddler needs to have intact up in his thick skull, before we can even think about trying to SELL it? We need folks who will stick with us through the thick and thin for ALL of life! And it is YOU who will make the difference. It is YOU who will lead through example by supporting this fiddling artist... and then it will be YOU who is able in sharing FIRST with YOUR friends, each little video gem this guy continually throws on out there into the universe.Yes, from his work with legendary rock guitarist Steve Vai, to his more country self with Country music recording artist, Chris Cagle, to the work he has done with his rather large fiddling family, The DePue Brothers, we will be releasing each performance as we get them, going ALL the way back, even, to when Alex and his brothers were just wee little ones. That footage DOES exist, believe it or not! And we're EXCITED to share it with you using Patreon, because from there you can then SHARE IT AGAIN with all of YOUR friends (making YOU the coolest cat in your OWN club, because who would not like to be the one person in your group of friends to surface regularly AND frequently with THE greatest violin/fiddle content known to mankind?? Not YOU.)The only chance we have to appreciate and admire our favorite Artists? And then guess what? The only way we can really SHOW those Artists we actually CARE about what they do? PATREON, that's how.

DIY Violin! The Pinky Exercise with violinist, Alex DePue tutorial The Fiddler - Alex DePue 2020-03-27 | THIS IS ONLY THE TEASER! For more exclusive content and instructional videos from violinist Alex DePue, please join us at www.patreon.com/alexdepue .Add this exercise to your daily practice regimen, and build superhuman pinky strength and dexterity in record-time! Enjoy this, our very first Alex DePue tutorial!(After first viewing the entire video, violin in hand, then begin using it daily, beginning each rep at 12:20 into the video.)Here's a DePue quote from a recent email sent to students."My students are so different with regard to personality, from one to the next! I gotta completely change hats every hour... I DO enjoy the challenge, though!My students' moms are a great coaches, btw, and I applaud all of your efforts at being so closely involved with their violin study. Having you there to poke at that left wrist, or comment and/or remind them of certain details we cover, is so vitally important as the lessons continue. It just so happens that there exists already, EXACTLY the exercise I introduced for you today. Here is the link to that lesson. Your time could not be better spent this week, than to simply run this video, and have play along with it repeatedly. We're looking to strengthen those muscles which operate the pinky, and really, ALL will benefit from using this video, from the beginner, all the way to the professional level. Most of my students, throughout the years, initially exhibit exactly those reasons as to why this video is my first (and only, so far) tutorial... this is the short-cut toward having a VERY dependable and curved pinky for the rest of LIFE! Just follow along with the video, rinse and repeat.Also, spend the week without a shoulder rest. In order to give it a fair shot, one week is barely enough time to decide whether or not YOUR life as a violinist will be better without one... and although it's certainly not a prerequisite for my students (not a "demand" by any means), I DO encourage students to give it a chance, and try life without the shoulder rest for at least one week. A month would be even better, but I've never been a huge fan of the shoulder rest, and it is just one more item to become lost along the way... left behind, or forgotten. It also sucks up the sound from the natural wood of the instrument itself. It's a sound-sucker! It also restricts a lot of freedom that would be there, naturally, without this appendage.We'll just assume you enjoy the newfound freedom, not being bound to this "crutch" for playing the violin. I tend to believe that the shoulder rest is the result of some wise marketing, once upon a time, and not unlike the diamond "engagement ring"... when whomever came up with this shoulder rest idea, they were somehow able to introduce it to the world as though it were a necessity for playing the violin. It isn't. Actually, I believe it to be more of a hindrance than anything like an asset. Here's what violinist Eugene Fodor (one of my violin heroes) had to say about the shoulder rest... gotta love the guy...youtube.com/watch?v=aF5cw-DJ0xsAnd then here is the pinky exercise. Please have your students watch the entire 22-minute video, and then... after they've ingested the information from the beginning, they can then begin using the video this week by beginning at exactly 12:20, and running the entire ten minutes. For each string, and as the video continues each time they go through the exercise, when it gets too fast for their little pinkies to keep with me up on each string, have them roll through anyway, giving each attempt 100% effort! If they're (you) are vigilant with being sure it happens at least once per day? By the end of the week, you WILL be able to keep up with me! Good luck! - Alex DePue"youtube.com/watch?time_continue=277&v=DqteZsgWAYk&feature=emb_logoRemember to support our efforts via Patreon to keep the wheels of our music-making machine rolling along with quality content first and foremost on our minds!

We'll touch upon "Manual Fiddle Effects", and other means for communicating musical phrases throughout the course of improvisation on any instrument, known in three different categories (as it pertains to the vision seen in the mind of Alex DePue), i.e., "Ornamental Improvisation", "Arpeggiating" your way through the chord progression", and of course, everyone's favorite means for improvised soloing, "note choices". Along with some variance with regard to rhythm, this episode will keep you on the edge of your seat, so grab your fiddle!

This is episode 3 of the series, seen each Monday night at 5:30pm pacific time. In this episode we will talk about, and demonstrate, what is "block 3-part harmony", as it relates to stacking vocals in the studio, and deciding with "hole in the triad" needs to become "plugged" in order to complete the triad. As we follow any melody, those triads will move about the sonic spectrum in only one of maybe three ways... introducing, "inversions"! How many notes make up a chord? Why is it called a "triad" when three notes are sounding simultaneously? Why cannot two tones sounding be labeled, "chord"? Answers to these questions and more in this new episode from The Fiddler.
