Category: Fiddling Music, Cello ** Composer: Wicklund, Brian ** Title: The American Fiddle Method ** Book/Part: Vol. 1, Book/CD set ** Publisher: Mel Bay Publications ** Difficulty: A1/A2 ** Comments: Contains a cello book and a CD.

Written as a companion to the popular book for violin, The American Fiddle Method, Volume 1 is now available for cello! Collaborators Brian Wicklund and Faith Farr have arranged the tunes in the violin book for cello - not simply transposing them - to keep them in playable ranges and keys for cello players. The method covers ensemble skills, basic music theory, variations and improvisation, backup and lead playing, and more. Can be used in conjunction with the violin and/or viola books, enabling players to "jam" together! Included in the set is a CD for listening and play-along. Volume 1 is geared toward beginning and intermediate-level players.
