Camps:

My impression was that Jay Ungar does his camp every year. I know one person who makes attending it her annual tradition.

There is also Jink & Diddle… I think in NC… traditional Scottish Fiddle, and Boston Harbor Scottish Fiddle School. Hanneke teaches there every other year, and also teaches at West Denmark Fiddle School alternating with Boston Harbor. West Denmark is a Scandinavian Fiddle Camp. It should be noted that at West Denmark campers are expected to have some experience playing in third position.

I have not attended any of these camps yet. I am just repeating what I have learned in my research.

Last year I very much enjoyed attending Strawberry Jam Camp in Elkader Iowa… that is a mixed instrument Bluegrass camp that immediately precedes the Backbone Bluegrass Festival in the sane location. Each camper is assigned to a bluebrass band that is comprised of players of similar experience and skill. Lots of fun learning to play in a group with a banjo, guitar, mando and stand up bass! The bands each play two songs to open the festival. That was really really fun and very economical. We stayed in a B&B that had been the county jail… very nice accommodations… comfy, quirky, fun, clean, amd they accept small pets.

This year I am attending Boston Harbor Fiddle School. It just so happens my teenage son will need to be in Boston that exact week… So we are heading up there together.

I don’t think I have ever heard of anyone having a bad time at music camp… any camp you choose will probably be lots of fun.

Voting first for the technique videos from Andre especially Bowing and Shuffling
also
Maudabawn Chapel
Citadel Waltz
Miss Lyall’s Strathspey

Andre’s stuff is new to me and intriguing… and, I suspect, a real challenge.

Good suggestions, guys. I see that a few tunes are showing up on several members’ wish lists…that’s really helpful as I start to prioritize these.

Members who haven’t chimed in yet, feel free to keep voting!

[Brodick1]

I had a shot at playing the fiddle and moving my feet as Andre does and suspect we will all end up with great stomach muscles…… bonus…… it’s the site that keeps giving. Can’t wait till the new tunes arrive. Would have to be the best learning platform out there.

[Casey Willis]

Appreciate that comment, B. That’s the goal….

C

[Blossom]

Thanks for the insight Broderick1, sounds like it takes multi-tasking to a whole new level with the added beneFIT.

[renjenn]

Can I add to the list Miss Macleod’s reel and Prince Charlie’s Last View Of Scotland (Aire)? Both are scottish fiddle tunes.

[Casey Willis]

Thanks, RenJenn & Anne. Duly noted!

[sabrina]

Hi Casey,

Well, the one that i want now is : SOGGY’S !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉

S.

[Casey Willis]

I hear you, Sabrina. We’re in the middle of a great session with Niall Murphy right now, but when I get back to editing Kevin’s lessons, Soggy’s is right up towards the top!!

[Barry Kirby]

I would like La Marche de Thomas Pomerleau 1 to be published please.

[Casey Willis]

Duly noted, sir. Posted a bit more info in March #2 lesson for you. Peace!

[Levins1951]

I suggest Cairo Waltz. You play that so well, with an excellent beat, and your interpretation of that song is absolutely superior. It would also give non-advanced fiddlers an easy melody to follow, and the would gradually add many of the frills you put on it. It is a great song–one of my favorite (the way you and your brother play it on Youtube).

[Casey Willis]

Hi, Levins.

Thanks for the kind words.

I recorded that lesson twice, but that was as we were switching out studio space…Working out the technical kinks and alll that…I need to finish up on that one and get it published!!

[Casey Willis]

Hi again, Levins.

Here is Cairo Waltz. Enjoy!!

[annepaugusta@gmail.com]

Kevin Burke playing Sean Ryan’s The Castle
And Sean Ryan’s The nightingale

[Leoquin]

A great Scottish jig “Hot Punch”. It’s not on Hanneke’s list but would she consider adding it sometime later.

Leoquin

[Roland White]

Hi Leoquin, I’m happy to pass that along to Casey and Hanneke for you. Thanks for the suggestion. Best Roland Forum Moderator

[1895 Washington Hotel]

My rop 3 vote is for Chinese Breakdown, Peek a Boo Waltz, Mairi’s Wedding. In addition, Bowing & Shuffling technique

[Roland White]

Thanks Valerie, I’ll pass this along for the suggested new tunes list.
Thanks Roland

[Roland White]

Hey there Fiddlevideo players,

Thanks for the tune suggestion input. These are great tunes and Casey will pass them on to the appropriate fiddle instructor for further consideration.

Now that I have learned 100’s of tunes over the years I understand more everyday that there are……………………………. SO MANY TUNES……..and……….SO LITTLE TIME…..

and thats why we all love this site with so many pieces of music candy to chew on everyday and so many flavors yet to come. Fiddle on and have a wonderful weekend. Cheers, Roland, Forum Moderator

[Shawn_Huckins]

Seriously, anything from André. He’s a monster with the fiddle and brings so much energy. But maybe these prioritized: Galope De La Malbaie, Gigue De Terrebonne, Le Batteux, Le Talencourt. Thank you!! -S

[Casey Willis]

Thanks for the input, Shawn. I’ll take a look at those lessons and see about bumping them up the list for guitar tracking/prioritisation. Andre really is something else. Truly a musical genius.

Excited to bring these (and many more tunes from other instructors) to the site, sooner rather than later.

C

[Morris]

Waiting for more of Andre’s fantastic lessons!!!!
Best wishes and Thank you. DM

[Casey Willis]

Sounds like a winner, Morris.

We’ll get some guitar tracking going for Andre’s stuff and see if we can’t round out his lesson offerings on the site. We have a couple of lessons from Kevin and Hanneke in front of his, but agreed.

Cheers!

C

[David Evans]

Here are a couple of tunes that I would like to see on the list:

Patti – Weeping Heart, Maiden’s Prayer, Kesh Jig

Hanneke – My Dungannon Sweetheart, The Scaffie’s Cairt, Juniper, Counselor’s Jig

David

[Casey Willis]

Hi, David.

Good suggestions. We’ll add them to the running list of possible tunes for new sessions. Have you checked out Kevin’s version of The Kesh Jig?

[David Evans]

No I haven’t checked out Kevin’s version but I will – thanks

[Kitegal]

Hi Casey,

It seems there is no list for Niall Murphy in your original post (or am I overlooking it?). His lessons are totally rocking’ my learning boat 🙂 do you have more recordings from him than have already been published? – Cheers! – Sylvia

[Casey Willis]

Hi, Sylvia. Glad to hear you’re enjoying Niall’s lessons. Yes – I think we had just wrapped up recording with Niall when I first started this thread…below are the tunes he recorded (some of which have already been published). Feel free to advocate for any you’d like to see sooner than later. I can tell you that some still need backup track recordings while others are ready to go. Cheers!!

[LarryThibert]

I like your list the only thing I ask is to have more of Andre slower pieces like The Breath of and angel or Autumn Sky and Tooth fairy jig and Belle Aurora to mention a small few
I’m sure once you here them you would agree they show his beautiful talent.

[LarryThibert]

When do you fore see the new tunes will be coming out Cassey

[seadamson]

Any chance of eventually adding “Billy in the Lowground”?

[Casey Willis]

Hi, Larry and Seadamson.

I agree we need more slower tunes from Andre. We have a couple more slow ones recorded but not yet produced, but the majority of his lessons from his first sessions are reels. I’ll add those titles to the suggestion list for the next time we get him in studio.

Speaking of studio seasons, I do plan to start recording new material of my own this year. Billy in the Low Ground could be one of those tunes. I have my eye on several waltzes as well. When I get ready to start recording, I’ll create a new thread to ask for suggestions.

We’re doing some work on our studio right now, so it will be a month or two before I start recording again.

Thanks for chiming in, guys.

Cheers!

Casey

[Devanny]

Hi Casey,
I would definitely be interested in the Sligo Maid as its a tune I’ve been trying to get a handle on for a long time.
Rogaire Dubh and Ballyhoura mountains would also get my vote.
Regards
D.

[Devanny]

P..S
Loving the latest tunes from Kevin Burke including the sound and video quality.
D.

[Casey Willis]

Hi, Devanny.

Thanks for the positive feedback on Kevin’s lessons. Sligo Maid is pending backup tracks, but RD and BM are ready to produce. I’ll bump them up to the top of Niall’s list.

[Nellybaby]

HI Casey
Love all the tunes but would like from Kevin
The Flowers of Red Hill
Paddys Return
Lord Gordons

Love this website

[Casey Willis]

Hi, NellyBaby.

Glad you’re enjoying the new tunes/the site.

Good news – Paddy’s Return and Paddy Fahey’s Reel are currently out to Kevin for review so they should be published soon.

I’ll put the other two you’ve requested next on the production list for Kevin.

C

[KateB]

Wow, lots to choose from but my choices are: Joys of Quebec, Black Velvet Waltz, Mairi’s Wedding and the tutorial on bowing and shuffling.

[Casey Willis]

Hi, Kate. Thanks for chiming in. Black Velvet, Mairi’s Wedding and Bowing & Shuffling have all already been published…just use the search feature in the menu to locate those lessons.

I’ll bump The Joys of Quebec on Patti’s production list.

All the best!!

C

[Casey Willis]

Hi again, Kate.

Here is Joys of Quebec.

Enjoy!!

C

[LarryThibert]

When will you be putting all the new sons on your web site fiddle video .com
Larry Thibert

[Casey Willis]

Hi, Larry.

Each of the tunes/lessons takes quite a bit of work to produce and review, so the lessons will be released over time. Right now, there are 5 tunes/lessons produced and in review. Those will be published as the instructors have time to provide any feedback/changes that need to be made.

Feel free to advocate for any specific tune you would like to be bumped up in the production list.

Cheers!

C

[LarryThibert]

I am advocating songs from Andre Bruney especially his waltzes

[davis1]

André …Reel du Forgeron ! Thanks!

[Nellybaby]

Would love to have Kevin teaching Stensons1 and
Stensons1 2 reels.-sometime.Also some more bowing exercises for Irish fiddle.
Thanks

Nuala

[Roland White]

HI Nuala, Thanks for the input and we will pass these suggestions on to webmaster Casey and Fiddler Kevin. Glad to hear you like the site. Plenty more content to come as Casey produces the large inventory of tunes already on hand, not to mention a few new ones from Casey too. Thanks for chiming in.
Roland Forum Moderator

[Casey Willis]

Hi, Davis & Nuala.

I’ll pass Reel du Forgeron on to the guitar player we have working on Andre’s material…

I’ll bump up Stenson’s in the production queue for Kevin…he has a couple to review right now, but those should be up after that.

Cheers, and fiddle on!

C

[Natty]

I enjoy the site, but not much call here in Montana for Quebecois style. I was wondering if you have considered teaching some Western Swing—Bob Wills, Spade Cooley, etc. would be fun to learn. Thanks.

[Casey Willis]

Hi, Natty. Yes – I’d like to cut some swing style lessons for the project…that’s a great genre. I’m getting ready to start recording again here soon, but I have a bunch of waltzes and bluegrass-type stuff in mind for that…I hope to have time to cut that style in the future…might be easiest to just bring in an instructor from that style…all the best!

C

[Roland White]

HI Natty, thanks for the feedback . I’ll certainly pass that idea on to Casey although I bet he has thought of that and it might already be in the Big Plan. However in the meantime Casey has some Tune of Choice tunes in his lessons that are Rags and often times they are played swing style. You might try a few of those out and and I will pass your suggestion along to Casey. Have fun out there fiddling in Montana. Roland White , Forum Moderator,
