Private studio teachers school string programs and Suzuki teachers preparing for recitals will welcome these tasteful piano accompaniments for the violin viola and cello editions of Volume 1of Brian Wicklund’s American FiddleMethod. Acknowledged as the most widely used fiddle method in the country Wicklund became aware of the increasing demand for a parallel piano accompaniment series and engaged his friend Bob Walser to take on the task of writingit. Collaborating closely with Wicklund Walser was encouraged to adhere to the chord progressions suggested in the original books but given leeway to add interesting variations in rhythm and harmony. The result is a book ofarrangements that welcomes pianists to the jamming circle. Piano playing teachers parents and siblings can now join in the fun and fiddle tunes can be featured in concerts and recitals with the support of an accompanist. Inaddition principals of accompaniment learned by playing these arrangements can be applied to accompanying other tunes the voice or other instruments. The American Fiddle Method itself provides the beginner with the elementsneeded to become a proficient fiddler. Based on many years of teaching experience the author introduces concepts and techniques that yield solid results. This method encourages creativity in the student by including variations ofthe tunes to illustrate how they can serve as a basis for improvisation.

The study of string instruments should include ensemble playing at the earliest possible stage. There is much to be gained from the playing of duets. Each player learns how to listen to the other, and in a short time develops an awareness of balance, musical phrasing, intonation, and tone quality. This type of training is excellent preparation for participation in large groups. These four volumes of duets for two violins will help fill the need for early ensemble experience in the public schools. They should be used in string classes as a supplement to any of the standard string methods. They will also encourage music making outside of the school, with parents or with other students. These duets are ideal for recitals in the public schools and in public school festivals. They may be played by two performers, or by multiple performers on each part, with or without piano accompaniment.
