Here's a step-by-step lesson which will show you how to add variation to Fairy Dance. First I'll play a mid-tempo version of the tune with some variations I like. Then I'll go through and show you what I did different from the basic version. 

Ultimately, I hope this lesson helps you explore ways to add variation on your own to any tune you play. In this way you'll find your voice as a fiddler and a musician. Yay.

Let me know if this video could be improved, if it’s helpful.

I made some “Learning Chunks” on the FiddleHed site to help you do this. These focused exercises contain sheet music, tabs and mp3 snippets to guide you on each step of your fiddle journey. 

These and all new lesson pages can be viewed for one week after publication with a FREE trial membership. Check it out here: https://fiddlehed.com

And after you sign up, I’ll also send you a mini-course of lessons specially designed for your skill level.

Alrighty. Play every day, have fun 😀 and thanks for making music 🙏  
   
Now, go fiddle with it...
