Its the leading instrument in the orchestra, and also the fiddle that puts the swing in country music--and when its electrified, the violin is great for jazz and rock, too. With this introduction, everyone can experience the joy of playing. The lessons begin with an anatomy of the violin and bow, and continue through a presentation of the positions on the fingerboard, a discussion of dynamics and tempo and tips on preparing the instrument, positioning it, and tuning it. Beautiful pieces to play range from Brahmss Wiegenlied to Scollays Reel, a traditional Irish folk tune.
