Fiddle Tunes

I know this deviates a bit from "piano" but I thought I would share these fiddle tunes that were written by my daughter Evelyn.  Evelyn wrote her first tune, "For David" at 6 years old.  Then added 2 more tunes "Sir John's Jig" and "Melanie's Jig" when she was 7 and then 8 years old.  I am hoping she will continue to write tunes as I think she has a knack for it.  If you know of a fiddler or violin player that might enjoy them, be sure to pass them along.  She means for them to be enjoyed!  I plan to have a piano version of "For David" soon.



This tune was her first tune... written for her fiddle teacher.

I don't have an image of this one, but "Sir John's Jig" was written right after the Maxville Highland games in 2012 - named after Sir John Johnson who founded our local town - Williamstown, Ontario

This is Evelyn's most recent tune - written for David's wife, Melanie - who apparently makes the best cookies ever!
