Learn ing to play chamber music is an important milestone in the music student’s journey. Playing with a teacher or friend helps develop rhythmic independence, intonation, listening skills, and sense of pulse that are vital to playing in an ensemble. These progressive duets offer beginning and developing players the opportunity to play along with others, or with the helpful support of the teacher in a lesson. Each duet adds new techniques and challenges that align with the natural advancement of lessons, moving from easy rhythms and keys to staccato bow strokes, slurs, accidentals (low or extended finger patterns), and more complex or independent rhythms. While the melody remains in the top line, musicians can alternate playing the melody as all efforts have been made to keep both parts at a similar difficulty level. This book features familiar melodies for the holidays, including sacred and secular Christmas songs, music for Hanukkah, and folk tunes from many countries. Appropriate for caroling, recitals, or chamber holiday concerts, there are 30 festive selections of different tempi, styles, and keys for variety, while remaining in string-friendly ranges. Each duet is one page or less in length, ensuring an immediate sense of success for young players. Put new skills into practice while celebrating the season.

A fun book for beginner violinists which concentrates on both aspects of violin playing - pizzicato and bowing. The volume can be used as a solo or a duet book and combines both techniques in an imaginative and enjoyable way.

Vioolspelen kan op twee manieren: strijken (arco) en tokkelen (pizzicato). Om het leren bespelen van de viool op te bouwen kunnen leerlingen soms beter even de strijkstok aan de kant zetten en zich concentreren op het spelen van pizzicato.Daarna kunnen ze beide combineren en komen de vingers van de linkerhand in het spel. Op de cd staan van elk liedje twee meespeelversies: eerst een track met alleen de begeleiding - en voor het spelen van de tweede stem eentrack met de begeleiding en de melodie (afwisselend gespeeld door verschillende instrumenten).

Es gibt zwei Arten Violine zu spielen: das Streichen (arco) und das Zupfen (pizzicato). Beide Spielweisen machen Spass und kommen in diesem Buch an die Reihe. Jedes Stuck hat zwei Stimmen: die hohere (die Melodie) und die tiefere Stimme (leicht, mit vielen leeren Saiten). Auf der CD gibt es zu jedem Stuck zwei Mitspiel-versionen. Ob solo oder im Duett mit jemandem - in jedem Fall wird jeder Anfanger auf der Geige bald in der Lage sein, zum ersten Mal vorzuspielen!

Ci sono due modi di suonare il violino: con l'archetto o pizzicando la corda. Pizz and Play propone di esercitare le due tecniche attraverso 14 soli o duetti divertenti e fruttuosi.
