Classical Hits for Jazz Violin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781954127142)

Play your favorite classical melodies along with jazz play-along backing tracks.

Does jazz seem hard, but you want to try it out?

Are you overwhelmed by the thought of improvisation? If the answer is yes then this book is for you.

Classical Hits for Jazz Violin does not require any improvisation. You can just have fun and read the melody and play along with the jazz audio track.

The play-along audio tracks repeat just in case you wanted to try improvisation, but it is optional.

This is book is for beginning to intermediate level violinists.

All music is in 1st position (except for Vivaldi Concerto in A Minor that requires some 3rd position). Some keys and octaves have been adjusted from the original music for easier arrangements.

Play-along tracks can be streamed online or can be downloaded to your computer.
