Fiddle Fundamentals, the first book of the Once Upon a String series, covers beginning fiddle technique in an easy to understand, step-by-step fashion that is perfect for students, parents and teachers. This colorful resource includes: pictures illustrating how to hold the violin and bow; ready to cut out at-a-glance checklists for key concepts; basic theory as it applies to fiddle playing; orientation for two important scales; basic rhythmic patterns for waltzes, jigs, and reels; and more. I love how you have explained everything simply and effectively! The artwork throughout keeps it light and fun. Nothing to be fearful of here - just excited to learn the fiddle!-Natalie MacMaster.
