Laura Risk: Scottish and Québécois fiddling.
"I'm a classically-trained amateur, non-suzuki guy, and never thought I could learn by ear. I really thought the concept was just way out in left field for me. But...you proved me wrong! I was able to play the first tune (Here She Goes?) pretty well in about 20 minutes and then got comfortable enough to add my own little finger embellishments.
Maybe you ought to subtitle your training CDs for guys like me. 'Ear training for stubborn dummies who don't think they can.'"

Tunes 2003: 82 more tunes from Laura Risk
Apprendre un nouveau répertoire à l'oreille! Les pièces sont, pour la plupart, d'origine écossaise, avec quelques-unes en provenance du Cap-Breton et du Québec. Il y a des reels, des 6/8, des strathspeys, des marches, des airs, et des valses. Je joue chaque pièce au tempo régulier et lentement. L’album contient deux disques. Disponible en ligne.
Lequel dois-je acheter en premier?
À moins que vous soyez un musicien déjà experimenté, je vous recommende de commencer avec Tunes 2001. Les premières 25 pièces sont assez faciles à apprendre à l'oreille. Ensuite, les pièces deviennent progressivement plus difficiles. Le but: que vous soyez en measure d'améliorer votre capacité d'apprentissage à l'oreille et agrandissiez votre répertoire du même coup.
En revanche, Tunes 2003 est conçu comme une source de répertoire pour les violoneux qui ont déjà acquis cette capacité d'apprentissage. Par conséquent, les pièces sont en ordre alphabétique et non en fonction de leur niveau de difficulté.
