Hi! Just a heads up – “Frosty Morning variation” is missing the section with the full play-along tracks/sheet music! The full play shows up in the TuneFinder but it’s not on the song page under “Full Content” π
Greetings Megan, thank you. It looks like it may be there now. Here’s a link for the audio aswell:

Thanks for helping make Fiddlehed more user friendly π
Thanks! I still don’t see anything, it just says:
Full content
Below you will find full play-along tracks with fiddle at high and low volume (so you hear yourself more), full tabs, and full sheet music.
I will try a different browser?
I found three little birds on YouTube but Iβm having trouble finding it on fiddlehed in the lessons . Tune finder says no matching record for three little birds. I know itβs in here somewhere , itβs on youtube . I know itβs probably operator error (not the most tech savvy one n the bunch haha). And thanks again for all the work you do.
Hi Tracy, great point. I also see Jason’s lessons on youtube but can’t see anything on the Fiddlehed site. We’ll make note of this and try to get it put up on the site soon. Thanks for your feedback, it helps alot π
I think this might be the case with Spootiskerry as well! I can search for it but its not on the tune finder π
Thanks Megan, we’ll get it added
thank you for adding it, love playing it so much!
Can I suggest one of the most popular Canadian tunes to add: Maple Sugar by Ward Allen. It is complex enough to deserve a lesson on it and most people recognize it. It was a radio hit in Northern Saskatchewan in the ’50s but it is still well known.
There is a whole genre of French Canadian Reels that would be fun to see on the site if you ever have a chance.
Thanks for all the work you do to find interesting fiddle music!
Great ideas Diane, I will add your suggestions to our request list. Thanks for mentioning this π
I appreciate all the work that goes into these. I wonder if you have tabs written where there is a bowing patter for these songs? From what I understand, having the correct bowing pattern makes all the difference in the phrasing of the song.
Some of the sheet music has bowing markings. Click through to lesson pages…
These are really nice additions to your site. You never cease to amaze me with your creativity.
