Easy Folk Fiddle (+CD)

Edition for violin solo with playalong-CD, difficulty: easy.
From the series »Schott World Music«. Written by Vicki Swan and Jonny Dyer

Folk music is an extremely exciting world. It can take you on a journey to new places, new sounds and new musical experiences. This book aims to help you do exactly that: to introduce you to a whole new world of music, country by country. You start in England and take a little trip around the British Isles (England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland) before setting off to Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark). Next you travel to central Europe where you go to Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Germany, Switzerland, France and Spain before launching off to America and a final trip into China. These tunes are aimed at players from about grades 1 to 3 and could be a change from the norm. They might also serve as a fun and rewarding way to develop your scales and arpeggios, playing technique, and musicality.
