tuesday 8PM fiddle 3 molly put the kettle on

welcome to new and returning students this new session. today we learned
a version of molly put the kettle on. we don’t usually get all technical the first day of fiddle 3, but your enquiring minds wanted to know, so theres a lot of stuff packed into this tune.
first version played med-fast. just listen, get the tune rolling around in your head, feel the rhythm.
second version slower, first time through, simple, second time with slurs, double stops and syncopations.

for your dining and dancing pleasure

slow and informationy
