I started fiddling. What really happened was that I was inspired by my cousin, so I wanted to fiddle. I started with six months of Suzuki training. I didn't like it—I wanted to learn fiddle tunes—but those six months of Suzuki training taught me how to hold the instrument properly and everything, and all the techniques that go along with it. Once I'd fiddled for four years or so, I got interested in classical music, and when we moved to the Ottawa Valley I wanted to audition for Canterbury just to build a better foundation of my knowledge of the instrument in general.
