These are excellent books for both the beginner and
advanced students. If you have never played before, this
gives you the basic information with illustrations on
holding the violin and bow. It gives the basics of reading
music, plus teaches you tunes while you are learning.
If you already play, these are excellent for improving
your playing skills, whether you are a beginner or advanced
player. I highly recommend these books written by a well
known, very accomplished player.

TWELVE THINGS YOUR RIGHT HAND SHOULD KNOW by GORDON STOBBE - DVD
I have personally seen/heard Gordon Stobbe teach how
to work with your bow hand. I was extremely impressed with the exercises
he had the class do, the professional, yet simple way of teaching how
to bow. Whether you are starting or play already, this will enable you
to play better. He not only illustrates how to hold the bow, but how to
use the bow for all the different bowings, etc. This is like going to
a "master class" for bowing in the privacy of your home with
additional advantage of repeating the exercises as required. I know of
no equal to this professional teaching -- EXCEPTIONAL "HOW TO BOW"
learning opportunity. IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT

FIDDLE MUSIC BOOK ONE and CD
These books were especially written by a local teacher to aid his own students in learning the tunes. Each book has the music notes written so the student can follow and play along with the CD's included. Each book includes 2 CD's. One is a "practice" and the other a "performance CD". The practice CD is at a slower speed for learning. The other CD is at performance speed, plus accompaniment to play along with. I have sold many of these at "Fiddle Camps", with the beginners and fiddlers enjoying them, buying CD 1, then coming back for CD2. |

CENTRAL FRASER VALLEY FIDDLERS CD
If you want to hear the lush, relaxing, toe tapping sound of many fiddles, this ranks among the nicest. When I first listened to it, I was so impressed that it is now part of my favorite number of CD's. The lush, full rich sound of so many violins playing both traditional and modern song just stir the innermost being. Ideal for students to play along with, for old timers to dance to, or relax and enjoy. Favorite tunes of over a dozen composers played from the heart. Not available in stores. |
