There are countless fiddle communities throughout Canada and beyond, and while many tunes are shared from region to region, there are some tunes that come from other areas. This book has 60 tunes which include many of those that come from other parts of the country and even other parts of the world. In addition, there are several that are native to Manitoba, composed by legendary Manitoba fiddlers, and should be played more. I've added bow markings to help make it easier to get the tunes under your fingers and bows, as well as chord symbols which will allow your friends to accompany you on other instruments.

I have had many requests for sheet music for various fiddle tunes. I decided to offer this personalized service for those who are looking for my particular arrangements. The transcriptions will include bow markings, tips (if applicable), and chords, all laid out in a professional PDF and will be emailed to you.
If the particular tune you are looking for is available for sale from the composer, I will direct you to their site to purchase it from them. If you'd like bow markings, I would be happy to do them for half of the regular transcription price.
After purchasing, please email Patti to request which tune(s) you're wanting transcriptions for.

What people are saying about Patti Kusturok’s latest recording, “Milestone"...
“I'm at a loss for words when it comes to describing what I think and feel about your new CD! What beautiful work.” R. Valois
“GORGEOUS album cover! Track 8 made me stop and swoon and your liner notes touched me deeply.” S. Ducharme
“Patti Kusturok's latest album "Milestone" is a remarkable testament to an amazing forty year long music career. Each tune on the album is better than the last. With sensational arranging and musicianship by Jeremy Rusu that leaves all others in the dust, Milestone is hands down the best fiddle album of the year in my books.” E. Cloney
Patti's 2014 recording, "Milestone," is now available for download. There are many Milestones in life, and Patti's decision to go back to her maiden name of Kusturok is just one of the many from the past couple of years. With Jeremy Rusu co-producing and playing all of the back up instruments, we are sure you'll enjoy the final product. Please enjoy "Milestone."
WARNING: THIS ALBUM MAY INDUCE AN UNCONTROLLABLE URGE TO START MOVING AND GYRATING UNCONTROLLABLY TO THE BEAT OF THE MUSIC!
From her deep Manitoba roots comes this latest Patti Lamoureux recording, "100% Danceable." If you close your eyes and listen closely, you may hear the rhythmic pounding of the leather soled shoes on the hardwood Prairie dance hall floors as the sweet melodies weave through the golden wheat fields or the frozen snow covered landscapes of Patti's home province of Manitoba, Canada. It'll be impossible to stay seated for long once the the album kicks into high gear right from the first track, "Big John McNeil." Enjoy the lively polkas, tasty old time waltzes, jumpy foxtrots, and everything in between on this 50+ minute recording. You'll be enthralled not only with the fiddling, but also with the backup work of musical genius Jeremy Rusu, who plays everything else you're hearing, from drums to bass, from acoustic to electric guitars, from accordion to piano, from clarinet to mandolin! Put it all together and it's the perfect soundtrack to a Saturday night house party!
This is Patti's 2010 release, featuring ECMA Award winning Troy MacGillivray on the piano.
I know what you’re thinking...What the heck is the significance of ‘Plums in the Cooler?’ Well, before you lose any sleep over it, let me tell you that when we picked the name, the story seemed really cool at the time. However, after telling it once or twice, I must say that perhaps it’s not as riveting a tale as I thought it was. Let’s just say that the name sounds cool, and leave it at that, okay? I’ll just leave it to your imagination. The tune is pretty neat , the name fit, and it’s cute!
This album was recorded in 2008, shortly after the passing of Patti's mother, Eva. It was difficult to record, and it took a long time, but the end result was satisfying. The tune, "Memories of Eva," written by Patti and her son Alex, then 16, has been very well received and played throughout the country.
With Geoff Horrocks on the piano and Ian Clark doing some guitar work, this album contains some old favourites (Maple Sugar, Little Black Moustache) and some crowd pleasing favourites you'd hear in almost every single Patti Lamoureux performance (Bluegrass in the Backwoods.)
Recorded, engineered, and co-produced by Calvin Vollrath, "I'm Not Done Yet" contains the "Métis National Anthem," the Red River Jig. A special treat as the last track features Patti's son Alex at the tender age of 9 years old playing on his first ever recording.
