The first tune I ever did this with was Crooked Bawbee, as
suggested by Bill
Hume. It worked well for me, I didn't get bored with it.

Yup, great tune and one that like even the way I play it myself.
It's a healthy exercise on the tightrope between beauty and
sentimentality/kitsch -

Helen,
Good choice for a starter.
The beauty with that tune is it can be tried: a) as a very
free air, b)
steady waltz, c) faster
Quote from Anthony Robb:
May I suggest picking one tune that really speaks to us but isn't yet
inside us (this includes brain, heart and fingers) and devote half our
practice time each week to that single tune for 1-6 months (depending
on time allocated to practice and complexity of tune).
