Violinworks Book 1

A comprehensive method for the older beginner, composed by Ros Stephen.

Violinworks, in two volumes, is a comprehensive method for older beginners and improvers, taking students carefully from the very first steps to around Grade 3 standard. The approach suits self-taught violinists as well as those who have teachers, and emphasizes the importance of good habits from day one, of using your ear, and of always aiming for the best sound. Each volume contains a wide selection of repertoire, plus detailed descriptions and photos to demonstrate correct playing positions. The accompanying CD includes performance tracks, with piano, string quartet, or band backings, plus aural exercises.
