Covers the beginning material in the Introduction to Violin Video using many diagrams and exercises to emphase good bowing technique and learning to play in tune.It then progresses to specific fiddling techniques using songs like You Are My Sunshine, Wildwood Flower, Amazing Grace, Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Boil Them Cabbage Down, Cripple Creek, Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms, Soldier's Joy, and Old Joe Clark. All songs are written in Standard music notation and played at two speeds on the accompanying CD (slow for practice and up tempo for performing). This is the perfect tool for the beginning fiddler.
