Bay American Fiddle Method, Vol 2
Book & CD
- $23.95
Designed as a follow-up
to Volume 1, Volume 2 addresses such important skills as:
1) expanding a basic
repertoire of common intermediate-level tunes,
2) learning to use low
first position,
3) mastery of bowing
down on the beat and corrective slurring,
4) artistic slurring,
5) understanding basic
music theory, and
6) learning double-stop
backup combinations.
Some students who
have studied violin or fiddle music before may be able to skip
Volume 1 and start with Volume 2, assuming they are proficient
at skills such as proper violin and bow placement and can play a
small repertoire of fiddle tunes with good tone and intonation.
