Red Haired Boy

Hi Teen Fiddle-
Here is that recording of Red Haired boy we made at our last class. It is kinda soft, but if you turn up the volume on your computer it should be ok.

Fiddle 1 (Tue) – week 7

Working with the “ditty bum” rhythm. The ditty are two pick-up notes starting on the back beat. The “bum” is the long note that falls on the downbeat. The accent is on the “dit-” not the “bum.”

The tune is in D. It’s called Old Molly Hare.
