Swallowtail Jig – Please Read Description

I’ve been learning violin on my own, so I put this up just to help me progress in parts that I’m having trouble with. I used to play swallowtail jig on viola, but I havn’t played viola in a while and I don’t have the sheet music, so I was kinda guessing on how it’s played from what I remember. If anyone has the sheet music I would appretiate it if they could send it to me. [ = Also, I am concerned about the way I am holding the violin. I havn’t guite gotten vibrato right due to the fact that I can’t hold onto the violin with my chin and let my arm/hand glide freely. I’m planning on getting a chin rest, but I don’t want to get too used to it. I want to be able to play without one. Any tips?

    I like it! lol Tho I know nothing about viola or violin or anything.

    I don’t think it’s bad if you do use a shoulder rest, even the most professional violinists use one, and it’ll help with vibrato :)
