You may not fall in love, but the 257 online piano accompaniment tracks that come witháI Love My Scalesáare likely to change your attitude towards playing tetrachords, scales, arpeggios, and double stops on the violin. In fact, anyone who plays a C instrument with a comparable range will enjoy playing along with these imaginative and elegant recordings.áWhile this book was written primarily for violinists to enhance intonation, agility, overall musicianship, and the sense of time essential to playing with an ensemble in any style, mandolinists will benefit equally in improving sight reading and fretboard knowledge.

The book also addresses scales in various intervals plus chromatic, modal, and exotic scalesùall with piano accompaniment that makes scale practice a labor of love.Includes access to online audio.

Appalachian fiddle music, based on the musical traditions of the people who settled in the mountainous regions of the southeastern United States, is widely-known and played throughout North America and parts of Europe because of its complex rhythms, its catchy melodies, and its often-ancient-sounding stylistic qualities. The authors explore the lives and music of 43 of the classic Appalachian fiddlers who were active during the first half of the 20th century. Some of them were recorded commercially in the 1920s, such as Gid Tanner, Fiddlin? John Carson, and Charlie Bowman. Some were recorded by folklorists from the Library of Congress, such as William Stepp, Emmett Lundy, and Marion Reece. Others were recorded informally by family members and visitors, such as John Salyer, Emma Lee Dickerson, and Manco Sneed. All of them played throughout most of their lives and influenced the growth and stylistic elements of fiddle music in their regions. Each fiddler has been given a chapter with a biography, several tune transcriptions, and tune histories. To show the richness of the music, the authors make a special effort to show the musical elements in detail, but also acknowledge that nothing can take the place of listening. Many of the classic recordings used in this book can be found on the web, allowing you to hear and read the music together.
