The Fiddle Club - Collection    

By Dean Marshall, composer and arranger for Barrage

 
It was never planned—it was just one of those things that just seemed to evolve. As fiddle players and music instructors, we were constantly asked to write out fiddle tunes. The Fiddle Club series was our response to these requests. It is our hope that the books and recordings in this expanding series will serve as a valuable resource to anyone interested in this style of music.

As you play through the music in this book, we want to remind you that tunes should not necessarily be considered the original or correct versions. You can literally find hundreds of variations of the same tune. The settings found in this book are simply our interpretation.

We have included various markings (bar numbers, fingerings, and bowings) which we have found helpful in teaching—especially in group situations. As always, experienced players may want to alter some of these markings and add their own dynamics to reflect their personal style.

Traditionally, fiddling has been an improvised aural art form which makes it very difficult to notate. We recommend that you take every opportunity to listen, watch and play with other fiddlers.
