Hello, my name is Katy, and I love to play the violin! I especially like playing Celtic music, and I have so much fun writing little tunes.
I am not professional violinist/fiddler. I just like playing music as a hobby.
I play a lot of Celtic music, but I am an American from Colorado. ^_^
Feel free to say "Hi!" =)
I needed to set up a PO box in order to create an email list/newsletter, so here's my official PO box address:

Vanishing Lake - Irish Set Dance Music! (Speed 68 BPM, Composed by Francis Ward) | Katy Adelson
Here is a video of the Irish set dance tune, "Vanishing Lake," played at the speed of 68 BPM, and composed by Francis Ward (winner of the Marie Duffy Foundation Excellence Award In Irish Dance Music Composition). This is a popular tune among Irish step dancers, and is often used in various competitions. I debated about repeating it a second time like I do for my other videos, but I watched many dance videos with this tune, and this video follows the same format they were in (playing the A part 3 times, and the B part once). Picking a tempo was also tricky. I settled on speed 68 because it was easier to convert 6/8 timing to within Logic to an even-numbered speed, and it seemed to be a com...

Stone Tower Temple Theme (Zelda, Majora's Mask) - Violin Cover | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 20 тыс.Год назад
Hi Everyone! I hope you have been well. Here is a cover to the Stone Temple Theme song (composed by Koji Kondo) in the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask video game. I remember being mesmerized by this song the first time I heard it, and tried to figure out how to play it on the violin. I wanted to just listen to the music rather than actually figure out the temple puzzle - pressing pause helped me...
We Three Kings -- Instrumental Christmas Carol | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 10 тыс.Год назад
Hi Everyone! Here is a pretty Christmas song called, "We Three Kings." John Henry Hopkins wrote this carol in Pennsylvania in 1865. This is an instrumental fiddle version, but there typically are five verses I played it through five times for anyone who wanted to sing along kind of like a karaoke. I also played all the instruments to make a fully acoustic version of the song I hope that you lik...
O'Keefe's Slide ~ Irish Fiddle Tune! | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 106 тыс.2 года назад
Here is a fun Irish fiddle tune called O'Keefe's. It's a slide, which is kind of like a jig, but has a more "bouncy" nature to the tune similar to a hornpipe. They also are also generally played at really fast tempos, but the "bouncy" vibe of the tune makes it feel like you aren't playing so fast. It's kind of strange... I recently started to learn guitar! I thought I'd attempt to make a music ...
Fig for a Kiss + Breakout (LOTD, Ronan Hardiman) - Irish Fiddle Tunes! | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 31 тыс.2 года назад
Happy St. Paddy's Day! Here are some fun Irish Fiddle Tunes: A Fig for a Kiss, which is a slip jig, and Breakout, which is a modern tune by Ronan Hardiman for Lord of the Dance. Both of the tunes have a "slide" vibe to me, so I tried to play them kind of bouncy. I hope that you like this version of the tunes! They are fun tunes to mix into things. A lot of people like the Breakout tune but don'...
Christmas Day Ida Moarnin' - Scottish Fiddle Tune | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 21 тыс.2 года назад
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Here is a new Shetland tune called, “Christmas Day Ida Moarnin'.” I think this Scottish tune is typically considered an air, but I’ve seen it listed as a jig, as well. I tend to think it has a march-like essence to it, or even a strathspey vibe to it, although I don’t think there really are Shetland Strathspeys. I tend to think it is neither a jig nor a strat...
Burning of the Piper's Hut + An Dro ~ Celtic Folk Music | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 51 тыс.2 года назад
Here are two neat tunes: a Scottish march called "Burning of the Piper's Hut," and a Breton tune called "An Dro." I usually hear the march played more like an air, so I tried to play it like that. Burning of the Piper's Hut was collected by Robin Williamson in 1976 in the book, "English Welsh Scottish and Irish Fiddle Tunes." There really aren't any other known earlier sources of the tune playe...
The Wellerman - Sea Shanty (Instrumental) | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 50 тыс.2 года назад
I have had a lot of requests to play an instrumental version of "The Wellerman" and more "pirate music," so here is my attempt at playing an instrumental version of that song! Sea Shanties are great! I added the tunes Dunmore Lasses and Ievan Polkka, too, because they are fun and seemed to somewhat fit the vibe. I played it in C-minor, which I think is the key signature that Nathan Evans had sa...
How to Improve Violin Tone | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 12 тыс.3 года назад
One of the most common questions I've received is, "How do I make my violin sound more professional?" The answer is within the concept of Tone. In this video, I discuss what tone is, and how to improve your tone on a violin (or fiddle). This is a video many have asked for, so I tried to go into some depth while also trying to keep to the point with some exercises to help as much as possible. Ho...
Le retour des hirondelles - French Waltz | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 16 тыс.3 года назад
Here is a fun French waltz called, "Le retour des hirondelles," or, "Return of the Swallows" in English. I believe it was composed by Beniamino Pagano and Robert Trognée. I have often heard it played in the key of C, but I moved it to D to make it easier to play on the violin (more open strings!). It's definitely not a very straight-forward tune to play on a violin since it has a lot of acciden...
Eleanor Plunket - Irish Music (Turlough O'Carolan) | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 22 тыс.3 года назад
Here is another Carolan song called Eleanor Plunket, arranged as a trio (or two duet harmonies). This arrangement is from my book of 15 Turlough O'Carolan Irish Fiddle Airs (bit.ly/15IrishFiddleAirsPDF). To me, Eleanor Plunket has a somber essence to it. According to the book, “CAROLAN The Life, Times and Music of an S Irish Harper” by Donal O’Sullivan, the song was written by Carolan in praise...
THE GAEL - Theme from Last of the Mohicans ~ Composed by Dougie MacLean | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 47 тыс.3 года назад
I've had a lot of requests to play the main theme song from Last of the Mohicans (also called "The Gael," and "Promentory"), so here is my version! I hope that you like it! It was composed by Dougie MacLean, a Scottish songwriter, musician, composer, and producer who has written several famous songs. I actually have a Dougie MacLean music book published in 1994 that has The Gael written in A-Do...
How I Make Fiddle Music Videos (Behind the Scenes in 2020) | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 11 тыс.3 года назад
Here is a behind-the-scenes video that shows how I made my music videos in 2020! I often get comments asking how I make my music videos, or whether or not I have a crew helping me I currently make all of my videos by myself. I hope that I'll someday be able to get some help, but at this point, hiring help would be too expensive. I had filmed many little clips as I created all of my videos this ...
Greensleeves and Yellow Lace - Fiddle! | Katy Adelson
Просмотров 41 тыс.3 года назад
Here is a really common song that's often played around the holiday season called, "Greensleeves." The main melody is a very old English (at least I think it's English?) song that I believe is from the 1500s. The melody is sometimes played more like a faster jig instead of an air, and sometimes referred to as, "Greensleeves and Pudding Pies," "Greensleeves and Yellow Lace," The Bunch of Roses,"...
