A FIDDLE LESSON: Intermediate Level is a 70 minute long DVD featuring:
- on-screen musical notation of grace notes and bowing
- close-up views of the fingerboard
- personal instruction of five tunes: a march, strathspey, reel, jig, clog
- performance of tunes at slow and regular tempos
- 8-page booklet includes musical notation for grace notes, bowing and eight traditional tunes
One of Canada's greatest fiddlers and most dynamic performers teaches five traditional tunes, each in a different style: The Headlands March (march), Dusky Meadow (strathspey), The Picnic Reel (reel), The Honeysuckle (hornpipe) and The Knights of St. Patrick’s (jig). She breaks each tune down phrase-by-phrase, demonstrating the placement of the various drones, double-stops, cuttings of the bow and other embellishments of the Cape Breton fiddle style. Her special emphasis is on the ornaments -- grace notes, double grace notes, trills, pull-offs, hammer-ons, etc. -- and the bowing that is specific to each type of tune. She even touches on the clogging-style footwork that provides additional rhythmic emphasis for this dance music.
