As both a championship fiddler and superb teacher, Carol Ann Wheeler brings all her talents to bear in this fiddling book written especially for young children. Students raised in the Suzuki tradition will immediately take to the method, concepts, and techniques used in this book. Common folk songs familiar to the student are used to demonstrate and teach the basic skill of old-time fiddle playing. All melodies are first presented in their simplest form followed by more complex variations with introductions, ornaments, and endings. Students of all levels will find challenging material in this book. Younger students can proceed at their own pace, returning to the more difficult variations at a future time.

best that I've run across in my years of fiddling, it is not actually for the beginner beginner, but for someone who is taking violin lessons, lets say from school, it is a a welcome accompaniment to the lesson environment, it expands the art of violin into fiddling.

This book is written in a way that is simple enough for a beginner but on every page, Ms Wheeler teaches additional tricks and licks that are a benefit to a person who has been playing for several years so I am never bored. I play the CD on my Tascam CD-VT1MKII. This player allows me slow the CD down if I need to, or loop a part I want repeated over and over until I get better at it. She has us playing simple songs using double stops and a variety of endings right away. I love it!
