Easy Fiddle Tunes from friends at ASTA Connect

12/28/2020

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!
Caryn
