Putting sets of tunes together

Learning how to control the bow

Creating sets of tunes

We learnt the B part of the Sleeping Tune on Tuesday. We spent some time looking at how to make our fiddle playing more expressive, and played around with grace notes in the tune.

At the end of the evening, we played through our two reels a few times and decided we would put the set in this order:

The Sleeping Tune

Brenda Stubbert’s Reel

Bryan the Seasoned Traveller

We’ll play this set when we go to perform at the Scots Music Group’s ‘Big Seat by the Fire’ event in December.
