Fiddling for Viola (Traditional Irish and American Fiddle Tunes Arranged for Viola). By Michael Hoffheimer. Arranged by Michael Hoffheimer. For viola. Solos. Folk. Intermediate. Viola solo songbook. Standard notation and introductory text. 88 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.97809).

ISBN 9780786652457. With standard notation and introductory text. Folk. 8.56x11.75 inches.

Quite possibly the largest collection of fiddle music for viola ever published! Contains a wealth of material for fiddlers seeking a transition to the viola and/or violists in search of a collection of traditional fiddle music. Designed to meet the rising popularity of the viola's role in folk music, the tunes in this book are grouped into C, G, D, F, B-flat, and E-flat major fingering. The music in this book is printed on parallel staffs. The top is traditional viola notation in the alto clef while the bottom is the same music in transposing violin notation, allowing fiddlers who read the G or treble clef to play the viola by fingering it as if it were a fiddle.

      Really fun music

      My thirteen-year-old daughter has an affinity for fiddle music, so we ordered this book for her birthday. Even after only having played Viola for one-year, she was able to sight read the music and play from the moment the book arrived in the mail. Now she's learning more of the...

      Very fun to play

      This entire book is full of fun pieces to play, and is possibly the best fiddling book you can buy for viola. I was surprised at how well I could play it at first, and I performed in front of my friends a few times and they loved it. Overall,...

      Delightful.Never boring.

      Although I did not find any technical challenges,the music gives me a nice break from classical pieces. I find it a good warm-up. I just wish we could find more fiddling tunes to transpose for viola e.g.Famous Fiddlin Tunes by Craig Duncan. I think Mr.Hoffheimer did an admirable job in...

      Delightful

      For an older adult who is learning viola, this book is great!! What would make it awesome is if there was a cd to go with it, then I can hear some of the tunes I am not too familiar with. I love the music I do know!! Thank You!!...

      Happy Viola Fiddlin'

      This book is very entertaining and gives the violist a chance to truly stand out. Recently I played for friends at a party and they loved the tunes and I enjoyed just being able to sight read them off the page.
