Thread Name: Fiddle Forum - where can I find one on t
Subject: RE: Some great ideas
I just checked back. Thank you all for those leads. Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook is geat, but what I need are very easy tunes that don't require great speed to get a good sound. My current first year tune with the best success is "Walkin'In The Parlor" in a very simplified form. During the second school year of instruction I teach simple versions of Mississippi Sawyer/Flop Eared Mule and Cripple Creek / Angeline The Baker. So many tunes require speed to sound decent. I'm looking for other moderate speed winners that teachers have had success with. Keep the info coming, especially message boards where I may talk to other violin teachers who take fiddle seriously at an early stage of student development.
