Thank-you. I love the waltz that you wrote sometime ago, it modulated to b flat I think (or F M?). Could I play that, or is it “not old enough?” Thanks, M

Yep, Ted. He did record a different performance and lesson tutorials for the melody…I may have to record a lesson teaching some of the harmony parts I was playing…good stuff!!

Hi again, Daross.
That’s a fun tune…it feels very Canadian to me…I might run that one by Patti for her next session…we’re looking at having her return to the studio later this year to record a bunch more lessons.
Thx for the heads up!

Hi all fellow fiddlers!!!!
When Niall was in the studio, we took a break to play through this great Trad Irish air. I’ll get this video up here on the site once we have Niall’s lesson on Danny Boy published…but in the mean time, check out this video of us playing the tune:
Peace, and enjoy the tune!!!

Hi, Martha.
Jerusalem Ridge is in Am…I might look at a waltz in the key of C to give the round a bit of a lift…Country Waltz and Roxanne’s are two good old-time choices…
Or you might go with a G key waltz…maybe Westphalia?
Best of luck!!

Hi Martha, I agree with UNCLEATED on Amelia’s Waltz. Great tune that covers the entire fingerboard in 1st position and not played much in contests that I’ve heard. Have fun its a lovely tune. Best Roland

Amelia’s Waltz is quite nice, and not to hard to play!

Yes I wonder could an app help with accessing the lessons easier?
For example keeping instructors and tunes your working on saved in one place.
I find if I’m working on a particular lesson and want to get back to it I have to choose the instructor from the drop down list
And them click through the pages of lessons until I find the…[Read more] -

Hi, Sylvia.
Good thought: Bluegrass & Cape Breton are at the top of my wish list right now, but Kevin suggested a Cajun player the last time he was in-studio…so it’s at least on my radar! Thx for the input!

Howdy, Gwichin.
Good thought. We have used a mobile-friendly web design so the majority of the site features should work on mobile devices, but I know that a stand-alone mobile app could potentially provide additional mobile functionality…that said, the current focus is to build up the library of lessons…
I will table this idea for the next…[Read more]

Would the sound on your phone be loud enough to play along? I don’t think mine would. :

I think it would be awesome if you had an app for phones for some mobile learning.

Does anyone have any experience with the SCT (Scrúdu Ceol Tíre) exam ?
It sounds like a good way to focus your practice of Irish music, but apart from the syllabus posted at the Comhaltas website, ( https://comhaltas.ie/press_room/detail/sct_syllabus/ )I can’t find any study guide to preparing for the various levels of the exams.
Thoughts? Thanks!

Hi Casey and all,
A friend lately mentioned Cajun fiddling and I always liked Zydeco to begin with. Real fun dance music. Looking around I found a MelBay book with sheet music and a CDD for Cajun fiddling and thought this can be quite fun – but it does not seem all that easy.- Is there a chance for you to consider adding Cajun fiddling to the…[Read more]

Casey Willis replied to the topic Scandinavian Fiddle? in the forum Fiddle Lesson Forum 7 years ago
Agreed, KHelms/Malton. Good thread, for sure.
I checked with Hanneke…she confirmed that Harald wrote “Port Orford” after playing a concert there with her a few years back…so there is a connection!!
Side note – Hanneke, Peter (my brother who does much of the guitar on this site), and I all played a concert in Port Orford back in…[Read more]
