Violin Tutorial | Puzzle Plank Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy 2)

 Here is a song from Super Mario Galaxy 2. I didn't know this song, but one of my students brought this song to learn, so I made a tutorial for it. Hope you'll enjoy!

I strongly believe that learning and playing the music you are enjoying listening to is one of the most effective way to get better and stay motivated for violin playing. It doesn't always have to be violin music, either. When you listen to music with the intention of wanting to play it on the violin requires your a lot of imagination. And it strengthen your musicality and gives you deeper understanding of music. 

Let's play "Irish Washer Woman" Violin Tutorial

St. Patrick's Day is approaching. I used to play in an Celtic band for a few years and have traveled to many Celtic Festivals and Folk festival in the U.S. It was great to see many people loving the Celtic music and gathering around, playing, singing and dancing. This season always brings me back the fun memory.

In the last blog post, I posted the Irish bow exercise as an intro to learn this Irish jig.

Here is the part 2 of 2 video for "Irish Washer Woman", covering the melody part. 

At the end, you can play with me with a loop backing track that I made.

Have fun!
