Book Reviews of Mel Bay presents The American Fiddle Method, Vol. 1
Book Review: Get up to speed fast and have fun doing it
Summary: 5 Stars
As an adult student, I found this book incredibly productive. This book does a great job getting you up to speed with easy melodies and a solid foundation to build further advanced skills you will use forever. You will learn to read music at the same time. A valuable asset. This book will start you building an Old-time standards repertoire, another asset. The music is broken down to two A parts and two B parts. I learned about muscle memory and how your brain wires finger motion. Amazing stuff.
I have purchased the second book and I am very much enjoying a profound sense of achievement. The CD's work wonderful as a reference to keep you in check. Highly recommended along with a good fiddle teacher.

Destined to become a classic, this method provides the beginner with the elements needed to become a proficient fiddler. Based on many years of teaching experience, the author introduces the concepts and techniques that yields solid results. This method encourages creativity in the student by including variations to the tunes and illustrating how they can serve as a basis for improvisation. To assist in the development of ensemble skills, chords and lyrics, basic music theory, and demonstrations of such skills as backup and lead playing are included in this profusely- illustrated book. This book is beneficial for both fiddle students and classical Suzuki violin students. A CD for listening and play-along captures the excitement of the music and aids instruction. This set also includes the companion DVD, in which the author guides you through the basic skills of learning the fiddle and shares his pointers and shortcuts to help you learn faster and more efficiently.Instruments & Performers Books
