Basic Fiddlers Philharmonic: Old-Time Fiddle Tunes

Basic Fiddlers Philharmonic: Old-Time Fiddle Tunes is absolutely perfect for introducing fiddling to your youngest string players. Eleven tunes from the old-time American fiddling tradition are presented first in a simplified "basic" version of the tune, printed with note names in the note heads, and then in an "advanced" but still accessible version. Several options for simple backups and very basic improvisation tips are provided for each instrument. Each version is on its own staff to avoid confusing young readers, and lyrics are included where applicable. The accompaniment CD features recordings of both versions, as well as a backup track for playing along at home or in class.
