September 15, 2023 by Adam Sweet for Sweet Music Studio
Hello music enthusiasts!
As the weather takes a cooler turn and we find ourselves reaching for warm sweaters, it's the perfect time to explore the musical instruments that resonate with this vibrant season. In our recent workshop, we delved deep into the rich sounds of the mandolin, fiddle, banjo, and guitar, and how they beautifully evoke the spirit of autumn in folk, bluegrass, and Celtic genres. #AutumnMusic #FolkMusic

The Mandolin: A Companion for Autumn Evenings 🎶
We kicked off the session with the mandolin, a versatile instrument that lends itself beautifully to both folk and bluegrass genres. Its bright tone makes it a perfect companion for evening firepit singalongs. Adam demonstrated its folk characteristics with a heartfelt rendition of "Hard Times Come Again No More," a tune that you can learn to play in the free mandolin classes offered at the studio. The mandolin's rhythmic capabilities in bluegrass were showcased through the lively "Blackberry Blossom." #MandolinMagic #BluegrassBeats
The Fiddle: Evoking Warm Autumn Tones 🎵
Next, we turned our attention to the fiddle, a central element in Celtic and folk music. Adam took us on a journey through Celtic territories, playing the "Harvest Home," a piece that truly embodies the autumn spirit. The session also featured the comforting tones of "Ashokan Farewell," a melody that many recognize and associate with warm autumn days. #FiddleFun #CelticChords
