Fiddling for Classical Kids

Available in Violin, Viola, Cello/Bass, and Teacher's Score!
All parts are interchangeable (no transposing!) Appropriate for both orchestral/classroom instruction and private studio.

This method focuses on important fundamental elements that can be found in Celtic, bluegrass, old-time, Texas, and jazz fiddling: 1) the shuffle, 2) the displaced shuffle, 3) the Georgia shuffle, and 4) no-slur swing bowing.

CD contains all tunes played SLOW and FAST. CD is included in the Teacher's Score and sold separately as a recommended supplement to individual parts.

Other CDs featuring EMC

Mason Brown http://cdbaby.com/cd/masonbrown -- I played on only one tune (ironically entitled "I hate the Capitalist System"), but I highly recommend this CD if you like music that crosses over from Old-Timey to Celtic.

Lonsome Stars http://www.lonesomestars.com/store.asp -- This is GREAT songwriting and the recording was minimally produced (one or two takes, no rehearsal, no overdubs, and Dan Rose & I didn't know the tunes going into the session!). I play on about half of the cuts.
