Description
Revitalize the conventional violin recital with a touch of excitement through the Fiddlin' for Fun Functionally series. These books introduce novice violinists to the art of fiddling by guiding them through various adaptations of well-known pieces. Students will explore chord structures, bowing techniques, and rhythmic and harmonic variations, all while enjoying the process of playing familiar melodies. The format allows for accompaniment by a teacher, a pianist, or both, with a special Teacher's Edition designed for instructors who require a written part to play alongside their students. This edition enables violin teachers to engage in lessons similarly to traditional fiddle instructors. Additionally, an accompaniment CD recorded by Alice Joy Lewis enhances the learning experience. Featured pieces include Irish Washerwoman, Boil 'Em Cabbage Down, Rubber Dolly, Old Joe Clark, Goofus, Cindy, Fiddlin' Around, Amazing Grace, Liberty, and Westphalia Waltz.
