"You Sound So Good Playing Good Old Tunes!"
There's a reason violin players have been learning and performing certain tunes for decades, even centuries. They help you sound good. They're not beyond the skills of an advancing beginner - but they let have fun as you master melody, rhythm, harmony, and the basics of sounding good.
Let's boost your repertoire and improve your sound.
Free up your musicianship with time-tested tunes that sound even better as you add your creative touches. Good Old Tunes collections are for people who have started playing violin or fiddle as adults. You'll be able to launch into this collection of songs with confidence - because all arrangements are in easy-to-play keys and first position.
Why Guitar Chord Diagrams and Sing-Along Lyrics?
Because you'll be learning songs that are exactly right for sessions, recitals, community gatherings, celebrations, festivals, and senior get-togethers. Guitar players (even beginners) and singers will want to gather around and join in on many of these familiar tunes. Be the player who can suggest an easy-to-work-up tune for any performance.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have purchased Frontier Favorites VIOLIN DUETS Volume 1 from Good Old Tunes, you already own all these tunes, harmonized for two violins.
