Music

Iain Fraser is a fiddle player and teacher. He’s fascinated by the instrument's rhythmic and emotional capabilities and draws his material from 18th Century Scottish tunes through to new self-penned compositions and from the multiple regional music styles of the British Isles to those of North America and Europe.

I perform and teach tradition-based music on the fiddle. I have always been fascinated by the fiddle’s rhythmic and emotional capabilities and I try to draw upon the extensive repertoire of traditional music ranging from 18th Century Scottish tunes to new self- penned compositions and from the multiple regional music styles of the British Isles to those of North America and Europe. I released the album 'Touchwood' in 2002 which features 18th and 19th Century Scottish fiddle music on fiddle and cello. I was asked to edit and compile ‘Scottish Fiddle Tunes – 60 Traditional Pieces for Violin” for the Schott World Music Series in 2006 and subsequently ‘Canadian Fiddle Tunes – 60 Traditional Pieces’ by the same publisher in 2015.
