Book Reviews of Mel Bay's Complete Irish Fiddle Player
Book Review: An excellent book for any budding Irish traditional fiddler
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book for anyone who already plays fiddle but wants to know more about the Irish tradition. Particularly interesting is the emphasis that Cooper puts on the importance of the bowing right from the start. There is always a temptation when playing jigs and reels and the like to think only of the speed of the left hand fingers, but Cooper rightly emphasises that without the lilt and the accents that good bowing gives to the music, it is lifeless. Cooper gives detailed guidance on bowing right from the start and pieces are ordered in the book so that bowing techniques develop steadily. This excellent book is gradually changing my mechanical playing into something that might be worth listening to!
