The Rattlin' Bog
/Here is our next tune! Make sure to listen to me (hehe!) on the fiddle and play along with the recording! There is a copy of the sheet music with the music notes below as well.
The Bohola Jig
/This is the jig that we were working on last class. Keep in mind the two different parts in the B section. Also, remember that the second part doesn't have a lot of new material and much of it is already from the first part. Listen to the fast version a bunch of times. When listening to the slower version, play along with it as well. If you have trouble with any of the notes, the sheet music can help.
The Foggy Dew
/Here is another tune that we are working through in our class. This tune is a March. Listen to the whole tune and try playing along to the first part.
You can find a recording of it below, as well as a YouTube video:

Kesh Jig
/This week we worked on the Kesh Jig, and learned the first part of the tune. For this week practice with the recording and listen to the tune a bunch.
