TUNES

Here are excerpts from several of the Fiddle Camp camper tune collections from past years. All are mp3 files. These annual tune collections offer you a jumpstart, even before camp begins. And in 2006 a special collection was created for campers at the beginner level.

Each year, the collection includes anywhere from 12-24 different tunes. Sometimes tunes are available in more than one version—regular tempo and slow—and occasionally some of them might also include a short "workshop" pointing out some of the fine points of the tunes and/or a "performance" version at regular tempo, with accompaniment. With the exception of the performance, this is very much how you will learn tunes at camp—although there are plenty of great performances in the evening!

Sometimes the tune collections also contain archival recordings of influential fiddlers from Maine's past, although none of those are included here. The sample recordings here are all by Maine Fiddle Camp staff.
