I recently posted on ASTA Connect asking for suggestions for easy fiddle tunes to teach to students by ear. The responses were fantastic and knowing that I wanted to gather them all in one location, I realized it would help if I shared that information on this blog.
If you have further suggestions, please post on Cliff View Music on Facebook or add to the ASTA Connect post. Cheers!
