Hello I posted this on someone’s reply, but I will put it here as well to stand alone. This is Jenny’s sheet music version of LotM. Due to copyright laws, she can’t just give it out for free anymore ☹️ https://www.musicnotes.com/search?w=Thehotviolinist&search_origin=header

I got this email from a student in my Personal Coaching program in Jenny’s Daily Lessons and I just love to hear about the brain pathways making themselves known! Sharing as inspiration. If you’re already in Jenny’s Daily Lessons, there’s nothing more you need to sign up for - I’ll send you the details this week in case you want to participate in the challenge. If you aren’t currently enrolled and want to give it a go, today is the day! You can click and enroll now via this link: https://www.jennyoconnor.com/lotm_day_2026/ This group is primarily a free hang out and grounding place for seasonal focuses, like skill dojos and in this case a tune. Feel free to hang out and enjoy the Last of the Mohicans vibe through Thanksgiving and post progress if you’re working on your own. We will love to see you play. My arrangement of LOTM is available on Music Notes via my artist page there for $4.99: https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/thehotviolinist/the-last-of-the-mohicans-main-theme/MN0236705 I would give it to you, but it’s Dougie Maclean and Trevor Jones’s work so this way makes it legit. Happy fiddling! Jenny

This year the day is just the beginning! Welcome to a season of LOTM, where we can level up your version however you like. Today I'm sharing the five-note roll workshop from inside JDL (Jenny's Daily Lessons) as a tasty little sample of how detailed you can get with practicing this tune inside my program. I realized this morning - this is an entire Five-note-roll Dojo packed into one 7 minute video. That's because I teach this in four steps to get the same signature sound that I learned from Liz Carol. Imagine the four steps as: White belt, Blue belt, Purple belt, Brown!!!! I put four exclamation points there because that is how many I needed to express: This is the _whole key_ to getting whatever level of skill your heart desires on the violin. Master each step and practice with ease in your own personal sweet spot. Easier said than done- to keep it easy and level up gradually. When you are practicing in the most effective way, it will feel a bit slow at times. Trust this! It may seem like learning all of LOTM in this level of detail would take until the sun burns out. But actually it's just about 4-6 weeks if you follow along with the videos in my program one per day. Which is why, whether your in the program or hanging out with us here on the free group, I'm giving us from now to Thanksgiving to SAVOR this tune. It's the one that brought me together with many of you, so it really inspires a festive feeling in my heart. Thank you for being here so we can share a folky violin community online. CHEERS! Jenny PS If you'd like to work directly with me on this, and aren't already in JDL, here's where you can take a peek at the seasonal promo: https://www.jennyoconnor.com/lotm_day_2026/

I give credit and thanks to @Jenny O'Connor for working the Renn Faires for so many years and getting to hear this AMAZING tune! Well, everything she does is amazing! But thank you for teaching the scores of students you have had through the years how to play this amazing song that hits you in the feelies! Here is my arrangement of LOTM.(Ihave arthritis all over my body. Especially my hands. So my 5 note rolls aren't what they should be today because my hands are stiff.) But wait! There's more! I have a special backing track that I am playing along to! Courtesy of Jenny and CIRCA PALEO!!!!!!!!!! (I was going to do this outside, but I have been running errands, and well the humidity and Texas heat say no lol). Here we go!!!! I hope y'all enjoy!!

I’m still waiting on the official food to celebrate this day 😋. We all have good day’s and bad days on the violin. I had a “meh” day. My vibrato wasn’t strong but it’s a newly developed skill ( I have achieved better, but not by that much) . So next year it should be sounding really good 😊
