Fiddle

I have been playing fiddle for 4 months. I go to High level music. I have just got 3 new tunes. They are called: The Hurlocks Reel by Tom Anderson, The Rakes of Mallow and the Reel of  Tullochgorum. The hardest one is probably the Hurlocks reel because it is hard to get the timing right and the easiest one is the Reel of tullochgorum. I have two other tunes called the Stronsay wedding and the Queens 4 Mary’s. They are easy. I have pink rosin.

On 6th of December High level had a Xmas concert  at the Big kirk and everyone that gets lessons at high level went. There was over a 100 fiddlers. We played jingle bells, silent night and we wish you a merry Christmas. I also learnt Rudolph the red nosed reindeer but we didn’t play that at the concert. Ashleigh, Evan and Brooke were at the concert too playing their fiddles.

On Sunday I went to another concert it was in cunningsburgh. I didn’t know anyone there except Kirsten my fiddle teacher. We played our Christmas tunes.
