Fiddlers Philharmonic is a pedagogically sequenced collection of well known folk, Celtic, and fiddle melodies, great for beginning as well as more experienced players. Each song includes a melody line, an accompaniment line, and a more advanced solo line. Not only do these different parts give developing students a good way to slowly learn a piece, they make this collection easy to use with small ensembles. Players can take turns with the solo part and playing backup on the melody or accompaniment. Ample opportunity to improvise is also provided, with some instruction given for this. An Accompaniment CD can be purchased separately, which can be especially valuable for practicing improvisation.

Accompaniment CD. Published by Alfred Music.

Best Orchestra Fiddle Books Around

I started using the TWO books Fiddler's Philharmonic and Fiddler's Philharmonic ENCORE, that USED to come with CD's and the only thing missing from this is a BACKING TRACK! I have used it for my Children's Orchestras who played all the tunes in summer festivals outdoors, for several years and now I play these tunes myself for a Senior Citizen's Center. Taught Orchestra for years and these are SO GOOD. I like the Kick-Off, Tag, etc that they teach, and Back-up parts, BOOM CHUCK parts and the ability to let CELLOS and VIOLAS play the TUNES in unison as well as break into 3 parts. I can't say enough about them. I have to play WITH the violin parts which I am capable of, but the instrumental performances are so well done I wish I had a BACKUP recording without the parts played on it.
