I’d like to second Devashanto’s request for “The Last Alleluia”

I will second the call for more slip jigs :), such as Ride a Mile. Thanks!!

Hi Casey,
I’ve been listening to versions of “Foxhunter’s Slip Jig”, (different to “Foxhunter’s Reel”). It’s a terrific stand-alone session tune, which Kevin played brilliantly when he was a tiny bit younger and I am guessing that it’s one he’d enjoy teaching on to us. I would very much like to pair it up with The Butterfly, which I’ve been…[Read more]

Thanks ; that will be great!

Hi Sylvia
Here are links to sheet music and mp3. Play any speed you like. Let me know if you have any trouble with the links. Would be pleased to hear how it goes. Cheers – Peter

After accelerating the playback speed up to 1.5 x (in the youtube settings) the hornpipe was real fun! Would you mind sharing the sheet music Captainswing? I’d like to bring it to our celtic jam to try with a larger group there – cheers! – Sylvia

Hi, Devashanto.

We’ll add that tune to Hanneke’s running request list…she may choose to teach it the next time she’s in the studio…

Cheers!

Oh slip jigs please! Any slip jigs! Many slip jigs!

And I second the Tam Lin. Thanks!

I agree whole-heartedly with Mark. If he has completed any level of Suzuki I’m sure he’s way past me. It would be nice for Casey or possibly the instructor to assign a difficulty grade to their lessons. Just a suggestion. This site has proven to be a vast cornucopia of knowledge and learning.

I would like to be good enough to where I could discern a difference in a good bow or bad bow or good violin or bad. Currently I’m learning but the investment in a good fiddle is a tall jumping point for me.

Thanks Casey, I haven’t had the confidence to post playing live so I’ve used two rough previously recorded clips.
Appreciate constructive criticism and suggestions for variations. Also, the tunes are there to share, play and develop. Please feel free!
