About Ornamentation When Playing the FiddleHello! I'm David Kaynor on behalf of expertvillage.com. I have my own website www.davidkaynor.com and I encourage you to visit it. I'm going to talk very briefly, all too briefly really, about ornamentation in fiddle music. It is an enormous topic we can go on about it for hours and should, but there is ornamentation for the right hand where you do little variation in the bowing that adds beauty or excitement or character or color or controversy to a note. Then there is ornamentation with the left hand where you do the same thing. The standard bowing ornamentation in particularly Irish, in counted music, and in New England music is the bowed cut or triplet. The bow literally to a very short, sharp, sequence of staccato notes, and it shows up in a lot of tunes.

Could you do the stacatto thing slower? I've been trying to look for this lesson for one year! I congratulate you, but anyway, it's impossible to follow at that speed. I would like to learn the bowing, as well. ;o)
