Hi everyone,

I’m thinking about being in a Texas style fiddle competition/contest either this year or next, and I’m wondering what would be good songs to play? I have to play a breakdown, a waltz, and a tune of choice. I’m an early advanced level.

Thanks!

I’m a classical violinist (been playing almost 4 years with the Suzuki system. I’m 15), so Gardenia Waltz has been pretty easy for me.

Hi everybody!

I was wondering if Hanneke would teach the Scottish tune Loch Lomond (with possibly a twin-fiddle harmony part so my mom and I can play together?). Would love to hear her take on it!
