Synopsis:

(String). This practical, down-to-earth, and in-depth instruction book covers all aspects of folk violin technique. The book is centered on Irish traditional music but also looks into the playing styles of England, Scotland, Scandinavia, East European and much more. Exploring a wide variety of technical aspects including ornamentation, modes and scales, scordatura, improvisation and composition, the book is accompanied by a CD of all pieces performed by Chris Haigh on violin with a live backing band. Ideal for the budding folk musician, or classical player looking for something a little different! Note: Material is now only available as a downloadable version (no CD is included).
