beginning to intermediate musicians at a high school level, the Jazz

Jazz Fiddle
Wizard Junior provides a sequential introduction to the fundamentals of
playing Violin in the jazz style, including the role of rhythm, call
and response, articulation, scales, chord changes and improvisation. The
exercises take the form of catchy tunes arranged to work in any
configuration of string groups. Three-part arrangements are included for
each tune and these may be played with any number of compatible
instruments or used in conjunction with the other volumes in the series.
The
books in the Jazz Wizard series are suitable for self-instruction or
for use in private lessons or as part of a string group. Jazz Fiddle
Wizard Junior includes Piano accompaniment parts as well as access to
online audio that provides a full rhythm section accompaniment for every
exercise and tune. The correct tone and style are demonstrated in the
author's performances of more than 50 sample exercises and improvised
solos.
