🍂Fall Musical Instruments: Celebrating the Season with Mandolin, Fiddle, Banjo, and Guitar 🍂

 




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

🎼🪕🌟Mandolin For Beginners Workshop Review On Facebook Live 🎼🪕🌟

 


"I didn’t get a chance to comment on this or the prior Friday event. I have to watch the recordings due to my time zone. 


The instruction about how your right forearm is holding the mandolin has helped me. Also, I am about a month into self learning. I think I started with some technique that was not on point. So I am relearning some of this based off of your guidance. It is hard for me to get that pinky on the 7th but after 4 days, I can reach it! It is hard and sounds terrible but will keep practicing. I also have a hard time moving my left and right hands without tripping up when I think about what I am doing. This is my first instrument. I lose accuracy any time I speed up as well. I have been told that only practice – very slowly until I am relaxed – then I can begin to make progress on speed.


I am glad for your tips and ideas about a practice schedule because I was all over the place. You asked what everyone is interested in learning. I am into folk/folk punk so I would love to hear some tips as we go. Waiting on my books to arrive. I was learning from someone who said to learn by ear is best. However, having some tone hearing issues, I have decided that your suggestions might be better for me.

Thanks for sharing. I have enjoyed these!" ~ Melissa Lucy Ketelsen
