Fiddle Beginner Melodies (Key of A)

Bow Strokes: When first learning this melody, try using nothing but alternating bow strokes...keep your timing even...the arrangement below consists of nothing but the skeletal frame of the melody. After learning this base melody, we will then add the in-between notes...making it sound more like a fiddle tune.
