Learn fiddle style from Old-Time to Irish with examples and clear guidance.

For teachers: Megan brings a unique perspective from studying classical violin and music education at Eastman, Suzuki training, and growing up fiddling. If you teach violin and are looking for tunes to challenge experienced fiddlers in Suzuki Book 3 and up, these tunes are some of my favorites, and include sample fiddle style bowings and ornaments. If you are a fiddle teacher who wants to be able to show visual learners all kinds of ornaments and styles written out in sheet music, or just dive into exactly when we slur, drone, and fill, this book is for you.
