The CIM instructors developed a new collection of common tunes for everyone to learn!  We hope you enjoy these lovely tunes.  Thanks to AJ for recording the tracks on the fiddle.  Download a complete list of the 2013 Common CIM Session Tunes here.

We recommend listening to the fast tracks first many times (until you can sing the tunes).  The slow tracks are there for you to play along with while you are "woodshedding".
