I look forward to seeing you this Monday for some fiddle tunes and learnings. 

Are you a fiddle player who is looking to expand their skill set and meet others in a collaborative and flexible way? My adult learner fiddle classes are restarting on the 16 May and I would love for you to join!

The repertoire is played slow and steady with tips along the way. You bring the tunes which are added to my library of Teach Yourself! I play live accompaniment on piano and it's always fun to see what tunes we're going to play and learn more about.
See below for how it works...
Till soon!

"I think of the written music like stabilisers it allows you to enjoy the pure feeling of the music without getting frazzled wondering where the tune has got to. It is just a small part of the slow sessions - learning to listen out for patterns, getting tips on technique - helping to feel the music."

WHAT'LL WE PLAY
We have time for 6 or 7 tunes.  Bring your choices from either my site or any other. This is optional. If you just want to sit in and follow along that's fine too.
My tune choice this week is Lord Balgownie's Favorite.  This slow Strathspey is in A minor and has three parts.  The third part goes into C major.  This Friday 13th it's the 'World Play a Stathspey Day that my friend Simon Thoumire started up a few years ago.  You could join the event here.       
You can learn this tune from the website.  Just click on the link above and put in this password:  Lismore21.

The tune's played three times. First time on fiddle only and then with piano and viola for a bit of added colour and then piano only so you can play along. 
 
I look forward to hearing your choices and adding to our growing Tunes for Learning library.
Listen and learn up to 130 classic tunes with a built in slow downer and looper.

WHO IS THE CLASS FOR?
 
  • Relatively new adult learners (at least two years of playing)
  • Fluid players wanting to develop their technique.
  • Classical players wanting to try folk fiddling
  • Players wanting to widen their repertoire and general playing.  I offer support for tone, bowing, left hand, rhythm and reading music and anything else that arises. 
  • Players wanting the convenience of staying at home while meeting other fiddlers from around the world. 


HOW DOES IT WORK?
After a warmup and Mairi's choice of tune we go round the circle leading on our tune choices (optional). We play each tune three times.  The written music is shared on screen so you can read or/and listen.
Second time around Mairi addresses some tricky bits and offers technical support specific to that tune. She then leads on that tune and everyone plays along (muted).  
Third time around Mairi plays live piano accompaniment and you play along with that. 

"Mairi's slow sessions have been hugely inspiring and motivating!  Taking tunes at a modest pace together with Mairi's exercises and hints has made an enormous difference not only to my repertoire but also to my technique."
