The Complete Irish Fiddle Player

Par COOPER PETER. Dans sa préface, l'auteur rappelle au lecteur que ce n'est pas un livre pour les débutants. Même le joueur expérimenté ne peut pas ' get it ' à la première lecture une mélodie donnée, mais ' vous pouvez vous attendre à apprécier le processus d'apprentissage... (et de l'expérience) la joie de recréer une mélodie traditionnelle, de faire vos propres. ' Il s'agit de l'enseignant / Pacte étudiant en vigueur tout au long de ce merveilleux livre, écrit pour le littéraire autant que les connaisseurs musical. Bien qu'aucune expérience de violon classique n'est nécessaire, vous aurez besoin de savoir comment contenir le violon et la proue et être capable de jouer des mélodies simples au moins en première position. Avoir la capacité de lire la musique vous permettra de suivre les tendances de l'archet et gauche techniques dont l'auteur se sent jouent un rôle crucial en saisissant le style de jeu. / Niveau : Tous Niveaux / Celtic/Irish - Solos / Recueil / Violon

In his preface the author reminds the reader that this is not a book for the absolute beginner. Even the experienced player may not 'get it' on first reading a given tune but 'You can expect to enjoy the process oflearning...[and experience] the joy of recreating a traditional tune of making it your own.' This is the teacher/student pact in effect throughout this marvellous book written for the literary as much as the musical connoisseur.Although no classical Violin experience is needed you will need to know how to hold the Fiddle and bow and be able to play at least simple tunes in the first position.Having the ability to read music will enable you tofollow the bowing patterns and left-hand techniques which the author feels are crucial in grasping the playing style. Includes online audio download files featuring solo Fiddle. The teaching recording plays the first tunes slowly but by the end the correct speed is played. This stereo recording contains 77 of the 80 songs from the book.

Séamus Connolly a 10-time All-Ireland fiddle champion from County Clare and Laurel Martin a former prize pupil of Séamus and a highly respected teacher of Irish fiddling herself have made Irish music thoroughly accessible to beginners and more advanced players alike in Forget Me Not: 50 Memorable Traditional Irish Tunes. The book's tunes are printed in basic and then in more ornamented notation one after the other and they are accompanied by two compact discs of playing also in simple and then more-ornamented settings. This refreshing approach by Connolly and Martin enables individuals to learn and master the tunes at their own pace and interest level by sight sound orboth with one reinforcing the other for maximum retention and refinement. Complete with background notes on the tunes and a foreword from famed County Clare button accordionist Tony MacMahon this impressive practical all-in-one package presents jigs reels hornpipes marches set dances and slow airs in a way that's distinct from any other collection that's available today. It's a handy source of great Irish tunes and an invaluable resource for developing technique something musicians can return to again and again for both instruction and enjoyment.
