Fiddle Time is a great series for all beginner violinists. Packed with lively original tunes, well-known pieces, and easy duets, itâs carefully organized to guarantee success every step of the way. Tunes are easy to play but always musically rewarding for the performer and highly effective for the listener. Play-along CDs include lively multi-instrumental backings which are full of character. Straightforward piano and violin accompaniments available separately.
