Description
Introduce an element of excitement and diversity to the conventional violin recital with the Fiddlin' for Fun Functionally series. These books guide beginner violinists through various adaptations of well-known pieces, immersing them in the "fiddling" style. Students 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 available for instructors who require a written part to play along. This edition enables violin teachers to engage with their students in a manner akin to traditional fiddle instruction. 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.
