The concepts in Chet Porcino’s Flying Fiddles (1985 original and 2023 update by Jeanne Porcino Dolamore) are closely based on The Havas New Approach and its relevance to the teaching of children and adult beginners.
Flying Fiddles Book 1, second edition, is for students of all ages who are eager to begin making music on the violin! Starting with the energizing flying violin and flying bow activities, students will progress through a series of carefully selected tune patterns, finger tunes, and ensemble pieces to ensure that joy-filled lessons and the delights of performance can be experienced from day one.
In a transatlantic collaboration, author Jeanne Porcino Dolamore, and score writer Gerianne Wigboldus, carried forward the spirits of Chet Porcino and Kato Havas who not only helped shape the publication of Flying Fiddles, Book 1, second edition, but who can also be imagined clapping and singing along with every teacher and student whose music is carried from his/her flying fiddle’ to grateful audience members around the world!
