You sound great!

Perfect

You make a beautiful sound Hannah. For me I’m thinking if your camera was position left and slightly above your fingerboard I could focus on your finger movement in slow mode and fast. I myself try to get that roll Irish sound but it just sounds like a turn. Ie not as pretty and Irish sounding as yours. Thank you for posting. Do continue playing your fiddle, it’s very uplifting. 😊

Thank u, really clear

Love it. Doing them with a flute now.

is it not The Belles of Tipperary ?

Great tips and explanation.

Always helpful thank you !

My biggest influence is Sharon Corr, The fact that Irish Fiddle is still adapting and growing it’s living absolutely. I take things from Baroque music and classical ideas too which led me to hear Cape Breton fiddle and other versions of popular Irish tunes, Bow hold too…I prefer a more connected sound when I play, bigger bow movement….as always listening is key lots to discover and hold dear

Tilting the Bow is good however; when you go on the A and the E string if the tilt doesn't decrease you will scratch or make unwanted overtone

Thanks so much for this video. Can't wait to try this tomorrow morning (it's late and my neighbours are already mad at me🤣) As a learner I have been having a bit of a bow shake problem and I have a feeling this will help. x

Hi Hannah, great tutorials, where would I find more rhythm exercises just like the 2 you did here. Thank you

This is amazing!

Hannah - thank you so much. This has been a great help to me in learning to play jigs on the low D whistle. The best explanation and teaching out there. Thanks again - appreciated.

Go cinnte ba mhatih an album seo! I want this album!

The classical bow hold can produce ‘shaker bow’ whilst performing which is not ideal. Máiread ní mhaoinaigh of Altan & So many Cape Brenton fiddle seem to as well. I think the shorter and quicker fiddle Bowing the longer the distance between the bow/ string contact point to bow hold point will provide shaker bow on fast tunes easily. We are not classical players and I think there might need to be a fiddler acceptance group hahaha our technical bag is very different

gracias, saludos desde colombia

Please back to youtube and continue

When I play with the classical bow hold to play fast requires less motion of the bow always this does 2 things. 1) differentiate long and short nites 2) provides a feeling of the sound from the bow moving faster than the bow speed illusion

Nicely done never heard Johnny Cope as a Hornpipe, sweet version, and I'm certain he is still not walking yet.

It's also a common Donnegal style hold

It also has to do with the balance point of the bow it the balance point requires you to hold it more like a classical player because of the weight distribution then there is no choice. So an excuse to to bow shopping :)

I love fiddle with no backing tracks…when I play live I don’t use one. This tunes sound so good

Thank you! I play mandolin, but the same principles seem to apply.

May i ask were is your thumb i cant see it

Pronounced ' Brendan Branach!'

Count as Gaeilge helps alot the beat values differ slightly in favour of bow emphais I find

:(1) 2 3 (1) 2 3:

I learned the difference between a violin and a fiddle is: Attitude. Also: the violin has strings, and a fiddle has strangs.

I’m an adult beginner and Ive tried this after seeing folks holding it that way at the sessions, I love it! A question, from your experience, will there be any gotchas in terms of technique down the line in terms of all the Irish dance rhythms and ornamentation?

Thx a mill, Hannah. Lots there to let soak. I searched online for Liz D & Matt C without success. Might that interview be somewhere online for listening to? Cheers!

Incredible! BTW, music starts a 1:36.

You’re an excellent instructor Hannah! Your classical background really shines in how you explain technique. I really hope to see more tutorials on playing Celtic fiddle soon!

It sounds like when a player is trying to sound Irish. Listen and listen more.

I’m Baroque trained and it’s made it’s influence on my Irish bowing the 2 styles connect somehow

Oh yes... always the 4 parts! 😆The more the merrier, and I love that 3rd one too. Thanks for the tips!

I love Peeling Potatoes !! Is there sheet music available for it?

Incredibly clean and funky playing

Definitely wrist flexibility! 🥲

I just got it during practice today. You really got to move your body into the note hahahaaa😂

My high school orchestra played a jig back in the day. We could read and play 6/8, but it didn’t sound correct because it wasn’t swung!

I have a feeling baroque violins would make the best Irish Fiddles

This is so reassuring! I've had a violin for nearly 20 years but I haven't worked hard at it. About a year ago I got an accordion, and recently got a book of Irish music arranged for the piano accordion. I just decided I'd start learning the Irish tunes on the fiddle as well. When I do a classical bow hold but on the wire wrapping, it just feels so much more balanced and comfortable!

This is really interesting, thanks. I am suprised that you don't mention bowing though. Isnt that a really important aspect of it?

PULLUPS Do you do workshops or do you know of any in Philadelphia PA area ?

this is a scottish tune...big john macniel

I'm a pro musician and I had to learn a jig (and I'm ashamed to admit I'm Irish born and bred but I'm a classical head and absorbed Irish music naturally but I never studied it formally) so thank you so much for this Hannah. You are a real Cailín.

Ever notice an Irish fiddle play aren’t so fussy with expensive violins

Sharon Corr has a classical sound when she’s fiddling I noticed

I find just listening to the piece of music. it will tell you how to play it in a sense. Irish music is about flowing it's not overly staccato. With that being said cut bowing and chopping etc are a form of staccato. Follow your ear I say.
