This
pupil's book provides a
lively and comprehensive
introduction to the very
first steps of playing
the viola.
All the
titles in the Abracadabra
series work in
conjunction with each
other, making them ideal
for ensemble,group and
whole class tuition. Used
alone they remain perfect
for individual lessons.
The book contains
activities, games and
pieces that teach the
fundamentals of playing
the viola : good posture
(with and without
theinstrument), bow hold,
finger position and pitch
awareness as well as
developing rhythm and
notation reading. The CD
also aids pitch
development with
performances of the
pieces and backing tracks
to motivate pupils
topractisepieces and
activities outside of
their lessons. The basics
are constantly reinforced
and revisited with the
pupils building up to
'performance pieces' that
combine and showcase all
of the skills they have
developed.
