Hi All
Could anyone help identifying this tune.
For some stupid reason I'm having trouble with this very simple tune. If it was named I could probably find a recording of it and hear what its supposed to sound like. Teacher is expecting it to be under control by Friday AU time 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
John

Hey John, sounds kinda like "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" to me. This version is off a bit from the tune I remember, but pretty close. That's my guess.

If your teacher wants you to learn it why don't you just ask him/her what the song is?

Maybe he doesn't want to fess up to not being fluent enough reading music to nail the tune without hearing it? I am hopeless that way. I can do the ta-ta-ti-ti-ta, I can finger the notes on the violin, but getting the two to come together properly without an example? No way!
To tell ya the truth, John... I don't think it's a song, I think it's just note's for a exercise. I think if it was a actual song, he would have put the title down.
Did he tell you it was a song you should know ? Is it a quiz for you, like name this tune, or just play the note's as written?
I played it about 15 time's and it doesn't ring a bell for me. Sorry.

I can read it. Can play it. But I'm not sure I have it right. I did ask but she said that she couldn't remember its name. I think she uses it often as an exercise for students.
I do know what you mean by " but getting the two to come together properly"

I clicked my own link and find that it doesn't take me to the right place. To identify a questioned melody and hear a midi file of it, go to http://www.melodyhound.com and input your melody using the keyboard search. The search engine will then bring up several possibilities. The best fit was Cajun Two-Step.

I don't know the tune but I took the music and put it into finale and made a midi file of the tune. I set the tempo o 120.
Gail's right,, Cajun Twostep,,,, I played it in both octave's,,,, they match

Thanks Kevin. I was going to make a video of it for John, and then I saw that you already had.

Aah! I wonder if that is why the forum membership numbers jumped all of a sudden in the last few days. I had been keeping one eye in it since we achieved over 800 members.
