Tune of the Week

This fun tune is from O'Neil's Music of Ireland!

You'll love it! 

tune of the week: my favorite hymns

For today's tune, these are 2 of my favorite hymns. 

I love the melodies and the simplicity of both of these tunes.

Here goes:

Sorry for the weird angles in the video. 

I have really got to start recording these when Trevor is home,

so I don't have to prop my phone/camera up on something. 

haha

Hope you enjoyed today's tune!

Happy Tuesday

tune of the week

Well, to start back in with my tunes, 

I picked a pretty favorite of mine:

The Lover's Waltz

Enjoy the video! It has some wonderful commentary from Piper.

But, its the best take that I got, and after 7 tries with a 2 year old in the room,

this is as good as its gonna get. hahaha

Maybe I'll start shutting her in the other room when I try to record things. :) 

Here it goes:

Let me know what you think or if you have any tunes you want to hear.

On Saturday, Trevor and I were able to go see one of my favorite fiddlers in Salt Lake. 

We went with Brianna and Rob and had a blast hanging out with them!

The concert was pretty great, too!

Here's a video of one of her tunes.

She's very good and has a really fun stage presence. 

I think my parents had a lot of fun watching Piper for us too! 

She loves her sleepovers with them and spent all Sunday telling us about "mama and papa". 

tune of the week

Here's today's tune of the week.

This is one of my favorites. 

I think its time we invest in a tri-pod. 

I'm getting tired of propping my phone up on things to record when I'm home alone.

But I figure that is better than nothing. Ha ha ha.

Hope you enjoyed it as well as the other tunes I've posted. 

Thanks so much for tuning in! 

XOXO

Tune of the week!

Sorry this isn't the greatest quality, but I really wanted to post something today since I missed the last 

2 weeks!

And Piper kept making me laugh, so that's why I seem distracted.

And another one:

Thanks for tuning in! 

I hope you have a wonderful week!

tune tuesday

The last few days have been really busy and I didn't get around to making any new recordings 

to post. 

So sorry!

Since I don't have my own tune to post, I figured I'd post one of my favorites by one of my favorite fiddlers.

Enjoy and thanks for tuning in! 

I'll have one of my own tunes posted next week for sure! 

xoxo

tune tuesday

Here's another tune for you guys!

I sure hope you enjoy it.

I'll have more coming up over the next few weeks,

and a new outfit too! Hooray!

I'm also taking requests. If you have a tune you would like to hear me play,

leave me a comment. 

Thanks for tuning in!

tune tuesday

Same outfit, different tune.

We filmed a couple on the same day. 

Enjoy!

2014

2014 is going to be a big year for me! 

I'm really looking forward to some of the things that are coming up in my life and 

can't wait to share them all with you.

I have a lot of goals and things that I'd like to accomplish over the next year,

as I'm sure most of you do.

But, my major ones revolve around my personal health and my music. 

I really, REALLY want to lose the rest of my pregnancy weight. 

Like everyone else, I'm starting the new year renewed and ready to crack down and really get this weight off. 

Mostly, I'm motivated by the fact that this is a family beach year and I only have 

7 more months left to get going! 

haha

 I don't know if I'll say much about my weight loss and things on this here blog, 

but who knows....

With music, I will probably be posting a lot more. 

I've decided to start doing more with my violin.

I am planning to audition or join an orchestra.

There are a couple in our area that would work out with my schedule.

I have a few new students starting over the next week (wish me luck!) 

and I'm starting to work on building up my repertoire and all that good stuff. 

I'm also going to start posting a recording of a tune a week.

Just for fun and to keep me motivated to keep learning and growing musically.
Look forward to my first video in the next couple days!

I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday and are ready to welcome the new year!

I know that I am!
