Two of the most popular fiddle tunes known today are "Turkey in the Straw" and "Cotton-Eyed Joe." Violinists and fiddlers usually have the chance to play these pieces, but this arrangement gives all strings players the opportunity to fiddle. Because of their energetic spirit, these tunes work well in rehearsals and performances. Students will improve both left and right hand techniques as they learn the music, and will develop a keener sense of ensemble playing.
