into ensemble playing.
This repertoire book for
elementary-level
students, distinguished
by slow and fast tempos,
is based on the
foundational finger
patterns of D major and A
major, postural
development, and bow
division with legat
o and stacc
ato strokes. Special
effects, such as tapping
on the side of the violin
and open-string pizzi
cato, promote
freedom of movement and
encourage navigation of
the fingerboard.
Elementary rhythms are
explored alongside
supportive piano
accompaniments within
familiar time signatures.

Ludwig van Beethoven,
Harold Birston, Frank
Blachford, Jean Couthard,
