Bella’s Waltz is a beginner-level tune composed by Fiddlevideo instructor, Casey Willis, for his niece Isabella. The tune is played out of A minor and provides several opportunities to insert triplets, swells and double stop licks. Casey breaks down basic and advanced versions of the tune in this lesson module.

Casey,
That is a beautiful piece of music composition! Could easily be adapted as a theme song for a dramatic motion picture.
Very emotional song captured by your playing. I can hear this being played by an entire orchestra.
Your niece should be proud.

Thanks Kenny, Casey is a master not only playing but writing tunes as well. He will be glad to hear your kind words.
Thanks for chiming in on the form we love hearing from you. Best Regards, Roland Forum Moderator
Thank you Roland.
How do I add a photo to go along with my name on the forum?
Go to acct settings and your profile and look for the image uploaded. If not Casey can you correct me?
Thanks, Roland

Beautiful! It gives me Godfather vibes.
Thanks, Sunbreaker!
Me too. I imagined an Italian street cafe at dusk when I composed this…
Perfect imagery!
I’m entranced by the beauty of Bella’s Waltz as it touches my heart. I’m determined to learn it even though I don’t read music. I play by listening along the lines of the Suzuki method. The way Fiddlevideo is set up, is perfect for someone like me. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words, Scott. I don’t read music either…and come from a Suzuki background as well. Happy Fiddlevideo is helpful to you and others, sir!
Casey, I’m still working on it. I’m not accomplished enough to pull off the double stops but I work hard on making the sound beautiful.
Keep it up, Scott.
The double stops are something to work towards, but not necessary…I got a chance to play this for Bella in person last week.
