Violin Playtime, Book 1: Very First Pieces with Piano Accompaniment

With Violin Playtime, the beginner violinist can make music from the very first lessons. In the three books that make up the series, there are over a hundred little pieces, a treasure-trove of attractive tunes - some traditional, some by composers of the past, some newly composed. But this is more than just an easy anthology; the underlying approach is 'learn as you play', and a carefully devised ground plan of technical development makes it a manual in disguise, a tutor without text. This book takes a player from the very beginning to Early Elementary standard. Lively illustrations contribute visually to the excitement of learning the violin.
