Review of You Can Teach Yourself Fiddling Book

This is a great book. I also bought the VHS to go with it. It teaches you more than just some of the beginning violin books do...like double stops etc. It would be good to know a little about reading music before starting this book to get the full benefit of it. Buy it! It will help round out your violin book library! I like the fiddle tunes that are in this book....

You Can teach yourself fiddling

This is a concise, fun way of looking uint fiddling - I had never done any of it before and am now going to play in a talent show jam!

Moves quickly

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.
