Old-Time Fiddling Book Three

This beginning old-time fiddling curriculum is written in a progressive tablature format and builds on the skills learned in "Old-Time Fiddling Book One" and "Old-Time Fiddling Book Two". You do not need to know how to read music! This 76-page book and CD set will help you learn to play the fiddle! The book features tablature and standard music notation for each tune as well as accompaniment chords. It is bound so that it will lie flat on your music stand with pages that are easy to turn. It also has tips on how to care for the fiddle, how to tune the fiddle, the names of the parts of the fiddle, and photo-illustrated playing technique. The included 35-track CD features all of the tunes in the book and is split-track so the fiddle part is separate from the piano accompaniment. The listener can adjust the volume of each part separately. Each track also features a hi-hat lead-in. Fiddle tuning tracks are included to help you tune your instrument. This curriculum is the ideal resource for fiddle instructors as well as individuals who do not have an instructor available and would like to teach themselves. This book includes 31 standard first position fiddle tunes. It is suitable for all ages. Included Tunes: Pig Ankle Rag, Speed the Plough, Green Valley Waltz, Cider Polka, Woodchopper's Reel, Five Foot Two, Cabri Waltz, David's Jig, Ivy Leaf Hornpipe, Andy's Schottische, Rose in the Bible, Sugar Tree Stomp, Growling Old Man and Woman, White Rose Waltz, Tuggerman's Jig, Roy's Rag, Bennett's Reel, Black Velvet Waltz, Maple Sugar, Westmoreland's Hornpipe, Texas Schottische, Ashokan Farewell, Hobo Jig, Trafalgar Hornpipe, Alex and Marie's Two Step, Ookpik Waltz, General Longstreet's Reel, Great Western Clog, Murray River Jig, Rocky Mountain Schottische, Red Apple Rag.
