The Blackberry Blossom Fiddle Book for Violin

Book excerpt: Are you ready for a new collection of energetic, catchy fiddle tunes? The Blackberry Blossom Fiddle Book for Violin is here! This book has tunes and harmonies you will hum through the rest of the day and can give you a new reason to get excited about playing the violin! Perfect for in-person and remote private (or group) lessons, string ensembles of any combination, or impromptu chamber music parties, this book (along with the viola, cello, bass, and optional piano books) gives you eleven "mix-and-match" fiddle arrangements to play, along with short preparatory warm-up exercises. Each tune has four options so musicians at different levels can play together: an Advanced Melody, a Stress-Free Melody, a Basic Harmony, and a Teacher Harmony. You can warm up with the exercises, try the Stress-Free Melody, and then work towards the Advanced Melody. The Blackberry Blossom Fiddle Book for Violin can be played in a group or group class with the viola, cello, bass, and piano books; all of the tunes can be learned and played together as duets, trios, or in groups of any size. This violin fiddle book is entirely in first position, in the keys of D and G and will get your toes tapping and your fingers fiddling!
