Introducing a New Book from Scott Walker

We are proud to announce a brand new offering from Scott of his own fiddle tunes!

Tunes Along My Way for Fiddle & Cello

Scott says: “This is a collection of fiddle tunes that I have written at different points since I began playing Irish music over 3 decades ago. The collection includes typical types of tunes, including reels, jigs, hornpipes, waltzes. There are a few tunes that don’t fall exactly into those categories, including an old time tune, a “quasi” cajun tune, a slow tune that is “quasi” Scottish, and one aire that was originally written for solo cello, and is more of a concert piece for cello and fiddle, in a folk style.

There are short descriptions of the tunes that tell a bit about my life, where I lived and traveled, and what I was doing. Most of the tunes were written at a specific place, some on trips, and some at home.

Memories of the places and the people there are woven into the sound. I sincerely hope you enjoy this music!”

String Orchestra Music from Scott Walker

I wrote these string pieces for the orchestras and ensembles that I have worked with over the years. I am publishing them here in the hope that string students and teachers will return to some form of normalcy in the very near future, and orchestras will be active again. The tunes range from beginning orchestra level to high school. I will be adding more tunes to this group, so please watch for my updates and visit here often!

As you search you will see a photo that represents the piece, a written description of the music, and samples of both the musical score and the audio.

These performances were made by myself and a very supportive group of string teachers/performers from here in Greensboro, N.C. Thanks goes to Karen Collins, Alex and Stephanie for their amazing playing! I have to admit that for now the audio for Dee Dup and Elemental Jam are produced by midi sounds from my computer.

The first four pieces are fun to play, and the melodies are easy to memorize! While VERY usable as string orchestra pieces, I have ALSO produced versions that include the main melody for a solo instrument, with a piano accompaniment. These tunes are intended to be used as supplemental material to the Suzuki Repertoire.

Thank you for considering purchasing! Ordering the PDF’s will be quick and easy. You are free to make copies as you need them, but I ask that you please not share the music with others! Instead just share our website!
