Jack Tuttle's Traditional
Fiddle Collection:
To order by mail
I use this book for all of my beginning and intermediate
students. Most of the tunes are southern old-time tunes, but
mixed in are a smattering of bluegrass, celtic and other genres.
The book is organized in a systematic, graduated method, starting
with very simple tunes and working slowly into more advanced
material. This book is one of the most detailed books for
developing a solid understanding of the standard bowing patterns
used by fiddlers. Bow directions - ups and downs and slurs
are carefully notated throughout. Left-hand fingerings are
also notated wherever needed. There are a total of 101 tunes
in this 102 page book. About 70 of them are arranged by me
for teaching purposes, but there about 30 transcriptions that
I have culled from my favorite fiddle recordings over the
last 20 years, from a whole variety of fiddlers, mostly southern
American. Also included are major and minor scales, major
and minor arpeggios, exercises for the bow, exercises for
the left hand and tag endings.
For an idea of the quality of the transcriptions, you can
download PDF samples on my transcription
page.
