You Can Teach Yourself Fiddling Book

Rating:
Summary: Moves quickly
Review: I like this book. It is well-organized and contains all of the material you need (other than the CD or tape) to start fiddling. It discusses each of the scales and gives an illustration of the fingering for each note on each scale. It does help, however, to have some introduction to the violin before you start this book. Also, the book moves very quickly from very basic fiddling to pretty complex techniques. There are 36 lessons and time signatures and pick-up notes appear in Lesson 7, while double stops appear in Lesson 13. Nevertheless, I was able to work through the first part of the book and found it an enjoyable experience.
