Playing by ear (Heater, Don't Stop)

Listen Later

Let's talk about playing by ear. How to start learning it, how to get better at it, and what the challenges are. Playing by ear is an integral part of fiddling in all folk traditions. For some it comes naturally, but others of us have the learn to do it from scratch. 

We also present a setting of Heater Don't Stop from Meg's new album Broke the Floor.

Thanks for listening!
