Students will learn to play the basic fiddling techniques of shuffles, slides and drones, which can be applied to all fiddling tunes.

This book contains lyrics, historical backgrounds and suggestions for activities that will expand and deepen an understanding of the fiddling style. It also offers ways for students to monitor their fiddling progress. A glossary is included at the end of the teachers score and each part that clearly defines all of the fiddling terms used in the book.
