Fiddle from Scratch Monday, April 01, 2013
Dan Levenson is a Southern Appalachian native who has grown up with the music of that region. He is a master teacher and performer on both fiddle and clawhammer banjo. In “Fiddle from Scratch“, Dan begins at the very beginning: how to tune , how to hold the fiddle, how to use the bow. Real fiddle tunes are used to teach, including “Spotted Pony”, ”Arkansas Traveler”, “Soldier’s Joy”, and more. Two CDs are included. They include slow and normal speed recordings for all the exercises and fiddle tunes. A lot of information and music is presented in a fun and understandable manner. There is a section on jam session etiquette that will be very helpful once you feel confident enough to play in a group. If you want to learn fiddle or if you want to learn more about how to play, this is a great book.
