About the Author
Anne Witt began playing the viola as a child, always preferring its distinctly mellow tone. She studied art and music at Goucher College, and has played in orchestras, chamber ensembles and string quartets over many years. She took up the bagpipe as an adult and performs regularly as a soloist at ceremonial events near her home in Princeton, New Jersey. A more recent interest in Scottish fiddle music prompted her to begin arranging fiddle tunes for viola. She performs on the viola (the big fiddle) at local Scottish American events.

This book is fun to have. The songs are fairly simple for an advanced player. But a fun change for your spare time.

This review is from: Mel Bay presents Scottish Fiddling for Viola (Paperback)
There is, unfortunately, not a whole lot out there as far as arrangements for viola that aren't made to be accompanied by a piano, or as an accompaniment to something else. My daughter (a 7th grader) has really been enjoying the large number of songs in this book - she even picked one as her solo piece!

This review is from: Mel Bay presents Scottish Fiddling for Viola (Paperback)
There are forty-five lovely tunes both slow and fast in this collection: laments, airs, reels, jigs, and more. All are nicely arranged to suit the viola's mellow tone. Guitar chords for accompaniment are included.
