Hi, Rosie. Thanks for the suggestions…I’ll get them to Patti before we make final selections.

Can you post a link to Black Velvet Waltz? I’m wondering if it might be the same as “Velvet Waltz”, which I use to play years ago.

Hi Casey,

I’d love to learn Black Velvet Waltz, Bluebell Waltz and Eva’s Waltz. It would be really great if Patti could teach at least one of these.

Thanks,
Rosie

Yes, it does; thanks a lot.

I’ll go on with my little impressionistic butterfly project, then 😉

Hi, Ulla. I think you should be fine for your purposes – unless you plan to monetize your recordings, my understanding is that you can record any song you wish for personal purposes.

It just becomes an issue when you would like to sell a copy of your performance. Hope that helps!

Hi, Ulla. It looks like that format is an option for Finale, the program I use to create sheet music. At this point, I’m not in a position to export all sheet music and embed them in each lesson…however, I’ll be happy to email files to any member who wishes for select sheet music files. Post your requests here, or just email the contact email…[Read more]

Perhaps better if you could export it as MusicXML; this is a general format that can be read by many programs, including the excellent, free music notation program “MuseScore”, and DAWs such as “Cubase”, which I happen to use 🙂

I hope so 🙂 Not because I don’t like Hanneke Cassel’s own compositions (I really do!), but because traditional tunes are not protected by copyright!

And by the way, I have a question about copyright; I have posted it under “Unfiddling”

Thanks, Ulla. I’ve passed your request along to Hanneke. We’ll see what she chooses to record in this session. Looking forward to some more traditional Scottish tunes this time!!

Thanks, Sal, Roland and Sherlock.

Really, we could record at least 365 lessons easily, right? It’s just a matter of how much time do we get with this talented teacher…

Keep the suggestions coming, folks. We’re still fleshing out the list.

I’ll throw it on the list of tunes to consider the next time Kevin is in-studio for us…hopefully later this year. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, Shannon. I’m glad you’ve already learned some great tunes…keep it up! Limerock is a heck of a tough tune, but if you stick with it, you’ll get a good version by watching the lessons.

#1 Please see my other post regarding the possibility of ABC sheet music.

#2 In regards to your second question, I understand the desire for bumper-less…[Read more]

Would it help if I posted the Finale .mus file? I bet you could convert it to ABC…I don’t have any experience in doing so. Just let me know.

Hi, Shannon. I’ve never been that impressed with Dominants, except for their wound E strings (#129 or #130). I use Prim mediums to get a brighter tone on the G, D and A string and I use the Dominant wound E’s.

Hope that helps!
