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!

Sounds like a good idea to me, Captain. Feel free to post a YouTube link.

Hi, Mark. Thanks for the feedback. I chatted this over with the other instructors and we looked at adding bow markings…we ended up deciding that being super prescriptive might be less helpful than it might seem…I tend to change my bowing based on different licks/embellishments that I’m using, and other instructors also felt that the…[Read more]

Update on Hanneke’s next Fiddlevideo lessons…she’s been super busy with fiddle camps, touring and welcoming a baby (awesome!)…but as things are slowing down for her, she has the below lessons getting ready for release as soon as she has time to review them:

My Love is But a Lassie Yet
Dusky Meadows
Diane’s Waltz

We’re also in production on…[Read more]

Appreciate the feedback, Mark. I agree that the link would be better at the top of each post…we’ll see if there is a way to make that change globally without having to update the 600+ posts on the site. You can delete the list from the sidebar (the Clear Bookmarks option), but in looking at the code, we don’t see an easy way to allow users to…[Read more]

Consider this tune added to Patti’s running request list for the next time she’s in the studio, Lassoayr. She may choose to teach it 👍🏻

Next up for Niall Murphy is The Fox Hunter’s Reel. It’s a great tune!!

Lessons covering The King of the Fairies, Garrett Barry’s Jig, and The Tolka Polka (not to be confused with Topeka Polka) are all out to Kevin Burke for review…stay tuned!

Thanks for chiming in, and welcome to the site, all! Folks from all over the world…and some beautiful locations, at that!…good stuff!

Lessons for The King of the Fairies and Garrett Barry’s Jig are both out to Kevin for review, Alan. Stay tuned, sir!

Hi, Tndel.

Are you playing the waltz twice through? If so, you might cut to once through, ending on the A part (ABA). I’m envious that you get 6 minutes to play…the majority of the western US contests limit you to 4 minutes, which really results in some strange versions/chopped pieces. I understand that a limit probably helps with scheduling…[Read more]

Sounds good, Alan. I know that’s one you requested for Kevin’s last session that didn’t make the cut…perhaps he’ll choose it this time around!

And I’ve just moved King of the Fairies and Garret Barry’s up to the top of Kevin’s production list.

Cheers!

Hi, VTFiddler and Sabrina. Here is Hanneke Cassel’s lesson on the great tune Jean’s Reel. Enjoy!!

Great to hear from all you new subscribers from all around the globe…and thanks for the feedback on the site!

We’re excited to have you all as a part of the Fiddlevideo community. Stay tuned – more lessons on the way!

Hi, FT6.

Great suggestion. You’re the second or third member to request that tune. It’s definitley on the list for André for his next session…or maybe Patti could cover it in her next session. We don’t have them on the books for another session in 2019, but perhaps 2020…

All the best!!
