      Here’s a cool Irish reel called The Girl Who Broke My Heart. Gearing up for St. Paddy’s day ☘️. I love how the B part goes between G and F major. I played it with a G drone. With a lot of folk music, you can use a single drone as backup for the whole song. You can also use drones to practice. TIP: to play faster use less bow, less energy. PS: I teach this tune in the FiddleHed course (the fun way to learn fiddle online  🎻) . . . #fiddletok #violintok #firesidefiddle #learnfiddle #learnviolin #fiddle #violin #oldtime #oldtimefiddle #appalachianmusic #appalachianfiddle #irishfiddle #irishmusic #celticmusic #fiddlelesson #fiddlelessons #violinlesson #violinlessons #bluegrass #Irish #folk #folkmusic #mandolin #diegosumbrella

          Joanne, I loved how you interwove double stops into your improv. They didn’t seem forced at all. Very beautiful and nice bowing as well.

          This Irish polka is a fun beginner tune. Noticing repetition makes it easier to learn: the 1st and 3rd quarters of the A part are the same. Same goes for the B part. And the 2nd and 4th quarter are the same for both parts. #fiddletok #violintok #violinlesson #fiddlelessons #irishfiddle

          Here’s one of my favorite Irish reels call ed Tam Lin. There’s lots of fun string crossing in the A Part. Gearing up for St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ I have two lessons for this in my course, one is a basic lesson and the other you learn how to add variation. Let me know if you have any special requests for St. Patrick’s Day or lessons. #fiddletok#violintok#violinlesson#fiddlelessons#irishfiddle

            I did it!!!! I learned Wheels on the Bus by ear!! So excited and encouraged. I have to say it took me listening to it repeatedly many, many times. I’m embarrassed to remember how long I spent on it, but it paid off and I’m happy!!

            thanks, Jason!!
