Fiddling for Viola Traditional Irish and American Fiddle Tunes Arranged for Viola Bluegrass Fiddle - Sheet Music

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.

    Not quite what I hoped for

    This is a pretty basic fiddle tune book, somewhere in the description I thought it mentioned duets, not true, it is either viola or violin parts

    awful binding

    This is a wonderful collection of tunes with perfect binding. Pages become unglued and fall out immediately. This type of binding should never be used for music.

    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 selections and playing them with her tutor. Great variety, beautiful music, such fun, and it gives her a break from classic Viola and keeps her interest in playing.Only drawback is the book is perfect bound and won't lay flat and open on a music stand. We may cut all the sheets out in the end, three-hole drill and place in a binder.

    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, this is an awesome buy for only 15 dollars.
