The Best Way for Violinists to Learn Irish Fiddle!

If you are an intermediate to advanced violin player and are tired of your Suzuki classical repertoire, where you can't hum, sing or whistle any tunes, then Irish traditional music is for you. Morley's book and accompanying CD will guide any violinist into the ever satisfying and exciting world of Irish trad. Great history of the various 51 tunes, to include jigs, reels, polkas, waltzes and hornpipes. Musical notation and especially the bowings are excellent. And the CD will pull all the intricacies of rhythm and melody together so that in no time, you'll be humming, singing, whistling and, most importantly, playing these great tunes!

Excellent for anyone wanting to play Irish music

My violin teacher, Tom Morley, developed this book while teaching Irish music to our "slow session" of amateur adults. It starts with basic tunes with bowings then progresses to ornaments later. Using the CD you can learn by ear or notes. I memorized many of the tunes listening to the CD while driving. The "helpful hints" and "learn more about" sections enrich the learning. There is a rich variety of jigs, reels, polkas, hornpipes and slow aires to be enjoyed.

Full of information and great tunes

This is the best book that I have come across for learning traditional Irish fiddle tunes. Tom Morley has taken great care to select the tunes and to explain the techniques for playing them. There are also interesting segments about the history of the music. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn the basics of playing Irish trad fiddle, plus much more!
