One of my favourite things about learning a new tune is when I get to make it my own. And how do I do that? I add ornamentation. Ornamentation adds embellishments and flourishes to your playing, enhancing the beauty and expressiveness of traditional tunes. Common ornaments include grace notes, trills, rolls, and slides, each adding unique colors and textures to the music. Experiment with different ornamentation techniques, paying attention to timing and placement within the melody. Try listening to recordings of skilled fiddlers to study their ornamentation styles and incorporate them into your own playing. Remember, ornamentation should enhance the melody without overshadowing it. Keep practicing and experimenting with ornamentation to develop your unique fiddle style! #FiddleOrnamentation #TraditionalMusic #FiddleMusic #Fiddle #MusicalJourney
