This collection features 40 tunes by the great Scottish fiddler/composer/dancing master, J.S. Skinner (August 5, 1843 - March 17, 1927). In his own words: The great work of my life has been composing music for the people of Scotland. The music that reaches and lives in the hearts of the people is the music that they whistle or sing at their daily toil or in their hours of recreation, that the mother croons o'er the cradle, and that accompanies her children, a joyous companion, through life.

Each of the Fiddle Tunes for Two collections consists of individual spiral-bound books presented in score form with melody on the top line and harmony beneath. Individual books are available for Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses, and Mandolins. The tunes in each book of each series are in the same keys and include guitar chords. For instance, a violinist and a cellist could play a wedding together if they each had the appropriate Wedding Fiddling for Two book. These books work particularly well for private lessons where teacher and student can take turns playing lead and harmony parts.
