Upcoming Events
The Old Avoca Schoolhouse in Avoca, Nebraska will be streaming three on line “Renaissance Fiddling Tunes For Two Workshops” for fiddlers, violists, cellists, bassists, mandolinists, and recorder players.
The Workshops will be on Tuesday, August 9, 7 PM, Central Time, Wednesday, August 10, 10 AM, Central Time, and Friday, August 12, 7 PM, Central Time. Different tunes will be played at each session.
Each participant will receive a copy of our “Renaissance Fiddling Tunes For Two” book, arranged for the instrument of their choice. These 28 traditional Renaissance tunes are arranged for two players, with chords for back-up musicians included. Program notes and a source list are included.
Just as in all of the collections in the Tunes for Two series these books contain the same tunes in the same keys making it easy for you to play with a friend playing another instrument.
During the Workshop, we will read, play, and discuss various survival skills for these kinds of pieces. A treble clef version of the sheet music for the tunes being played will be displayed on Zoom's screen during the workshop.
There is limited enrollment, and pre-registration is required. The fee for each “Renaissance Fiddling Tunes For Two” workshop is $25.00.

Reviews...
“Excellent teaching material for young students, allowing teacher and student to alternate parts for variety. I could also see two violinists using these arrangements on gigs (which is what I plan to do), as their one- or two-page formats allow for playing without page turns.”
- Paul Anastasio,
Fiddler Magazine, Winter 2006-2007
“...wide variety of composers, countries, and compositional types...all playable in first position, are mostly in C, D, and G but include one piece in D minor and one in E major...The Program Notes at the back of the book are delightful and provide the student with interesting and helpful information...this is an exellent collection of well researched Renaissance violin music that would be fun for any young musician to play with a teacher or a friend.”

American String Teacher, May, 2007
“...The two parts are equal in difficulty, and chords are written above the two viola lines, for accompanying musicians. The layout is well-organised with both parts together on the page, bar numbers and well placed page-turns. Each tune has a suggested metronome marking and bowings...While this collection of appealing tunes seems geared toward players at a beginner level and those who are learning on their own, they are lovely arrangements that would be suitable for anyone.”
