Violin Solo - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1105737 Composed by Wendy Loder. Arranged by Wendy Loder, ASCAP. Classical,Instructional,Traditional. 6 pages. LarkAngel Productions #708960. Published by LarkAngel Productions (A0.1105737). These bowing exercises are so helpful for absolute beginners, to learn the basic techniques (and art!) of starting & stopping rhythmically using half and whole bows. More bow divisions and rhythms are introduced, using open strings A-D-G-E. Then basic 5-note scales on E using the different placement of whole & half-steps. The following pages have fingering charts/tablatures to correlate note names on the violin with treble clef written underneath, and a suggested practice exercise. The charts are great to have as reference to help learn the letter names that match with the fingering numbers in first position.

Violin Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1513092 Composed by Steven Kruse & Penny Thompson Kruse. Instructional. 29 pages. String Play for All #1087974. Published by String Play for All (A0.1513092). The purpose of scale practice is to learn the half and whole step relationships throughout the fingerboard. Many students are fearful of certain key signatures and delay learning minor scales. If the pitches are removed and the fingerings are taught from patterns, those tendencies can be overcome. The inclusion of fingerboard charts help students who are more visual learners.

Violin Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.845984 By The Khromatiks. By Kayleigh Moyer, Kyle Pudenz, and The Khromatiks. Celtic,Contemporary,Folk,Irish,New Age. 13 pages. ViolinVagabond Music #6020001. Published by ViolinVagabond Music (A0.845984). This is an original Celtic fiddle tune that I wrote & performed with my live-looping duo, The Khromatiks, in 2015. It was originally conceived as a loop station composition for 7-string electric violin, but can also be performed as a fiddle solo with any form of standard accompaniment. The looper arrangement was recorded on 7-string violin with a Boomerang III loop station. That being said, there are plenty of other gear configurations that will work. Any phrase looper/sampler that is capable of playing 2 tempo-synced tracks with overdubs will be able to handle this structure, such as the Singular Sound Aeros, BOSS RC-30, Ableton Live with a MIDI controller, etc. If you don't play 7-string, a 5-string can also play this chart as written if you use an octave pedal to record the low bass lines. A standard 4-string can play all of the melodies & harmonies, but some accompaniment parts in the loop arrangement will have to be transposed 8va.The tune itself is a fairly standard Celtic jig+reel medley. In the loop station arrangement there is an extended opening that explores some suspended harmonies over a pedal-tone D. String pads & chopping grooves are stacked in the accompaniment track to bring in a more modern fusion approach to the Celtic sound.With The Khromatiks this piece was performed as a duo with violin & drums/percussion, but as I mentioned it also works as a violin solo. Using the included lead sheets, you can perform this with guitar, piano, bass, etc. The sky is the limit, feel free to get creative and share your performance!Please, if you have questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me via my website, www.kylepudenz.com/, or on Instagram @theviolinvagabond
