A Complete Guide to Learning the Irish Fiddle by Paul McNevin | Book and CD Pack Included | Irish Fiddle Instruction Collection with Traditional Ornamentation Techniques and 80 Irish Tunes - Softcover
Synopsis
A Complete Guide to Learning the Irish Fiddle by Irish fiddle performer and teacher Paul McNevin is a comprehensive instruction and tune collection focused on traditional Irish fiddle playing, ornamentation, technique, and repertoire. Combining detailed instructional material with more than 80 traditional tunes and accompanying audio support, the collection explores the stylistic character, phrasing, rhythm, and expressive detail central to Irish fiddle music.
Drawing on McNevin’s experience as both a respected performer and longtime teacher, the book presents essential aspects of Irish fiddle playing while maintaining a strong connection to traditional style and interpretation. Special chapters introduce important “key points” related to bowing, phrasing, rhythm, and fiddle technique, while the included guide to traditional ornamentation offers insight into the stylistic details that shape authentic Irish performance practice.
The collection features more than 80 carefully selected traditional Irish tunes supported by accompanying audio that allows players to hear phrasing, stylistic interpretation, and musical flow alongside the printed material. The combination of instructional content and repertoire makes this edition valuable for personal practice, lesson preparation, repertoire expansion, and traditional music study. McNevin’s long association with Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann and his international performing career bring additional depth and authenticity to the material presented throughout the collection.
This collection presents a substantial resource grounded in authentic tradition. The combination of instruction, repertoire, and audio support makes it a thoughtful addition for home music study, teaching environments, performance preparation, or gifting to musicians interested in Irish traditional music.
