2020 Common Tunes
Below you’ll find the 2020 collection of CIM Common Tunes, compiled by fiddler Mary Vanorny for the Center for Irish Music. We recommend listening to the fast tracks many times, and then playing along with the slow tracks to learn the notes. We hope you enjoy this collection, and be sure to check out the archive for more! Many thanks to all the CIM Instructors who donated their time to record the videos and to Brian Miller for providing chords for most of the tunes! Download the list of tunes here.
