Irish Tunes for the Young at Heart - Book I

Scott has created two collections of traditional Irish tunes for Young-at-Heart Fiddlers, Cellists and Violists, which he uses extensively in his teaching.  Each collection is available in book form for fiddle, viola and cello, and each collection has been recorded on CD, as an aid to learning the tunes. NOTE: viola books are now out of print but you can still download the PDFs!
