From the Author

I designed this book as a support system for classically-trained violinists and single-style fiddlers. Each of the 16 styles offered in the book is supported on CD (I play the tune and then the band carries on for another chorus or two). Each style chapter provides you with the appropriate left- and right-hand ornaments, warm-ups, an overview of the style (historic and context), as well as a quote from a key player of that genre. The front section of the book covers numerous topics, as does the resource section at the back. This book can keep you busy, informed, and entertained for a long time.
