I love the main theme from Poldark by Ann Dudley. I have not been able to find the violin music, so far I just play it by ear. I found some music on Musescore, but it was not created by a violin (if that makes any sense). I would love if any of you virtuosos could create your own masterpiece from this tune and teach us!

Please and thank you!

Hey Patti!

Thank you for the recommendation! I found Stobbe’s book on his website! I also saw a lot of discussion boards online buzzing about this particular book and how the exercises are exceptional. I am definitely getting this book; it takes about 3 weeks for it to arrive in the US, so it will probably arrive it in late October. I am going to do your recommendation about staying in the same key and finding the applicable exercises. Honestly, I just realized how this exercise suggestion can completely revolutionize my fiddle playing. My previous teacher would have me constantly change keys and many times I felt that my playing lacked quality and consistency. Also, I think that I made a lot of mistakes because I was thinking about the key too much, rather than getting a feel for the note progression and intonation. This new practice of staying in the same key is a game changer for me!

Many Thanks :)!

Greetings Kevin Alexander!

Thank you for the suggestion! I found the book on Amazon, it seems to be out of print, luckily I was able to find a copy for under $6 in new condition! I am so excited to use this book.

Super appreciative, many thanks!
