This series contains all of the pieces from Volumes 1 and 2 of the Suzuki Violin School arranged for three violins. Suzuki Violin Volume 1 serves as the violin 1 part. The pieces can be played with or without piano accompaniment, which expands their performance possibilities. Another advantage is that students at different playing and reading levels can make music together. The score contains a chart that lists the level of difficulty of each piece and each part so that the teacher can easily assign parts. A CD is available containing all of the trio arrangements. All of the parts were purposely kept as simple as possible. A table listing the reading skills required for each piece is found in the back of the violin 2 and violin 3 books.

BWV 164. This famous concerto was originally written for three violins, strings and continuo, but today is known in a version reworked by Bach for three harpsichords. Music Minus One proudly presents it as close as possible to its original version here, for three violins. Includes separate versions so you can choose which part you want to play! Features newly engraved solo parts and CDs with complete reference recordings, plus accompaniments minus the soloist at both standard and practice tempos.

Playing in groups is good fun rewarding and essential training from the earliest stages. With this book individual pupils can get together for ensemble sessions with or without the teacher playing along.
