My First Pieces for Violin

My First Pieces for Violin to make the short term and long term lesson experience as musically satisfying for the student as possible. The actual pieces are drawn from well-known works and a number of works especially written for a particular need.
The three part texture, melody, counter-melody & bass line is consistent through the entire book.  Cellists can choose to play their part or the bass part.
A wide range of keys and modalities are aurally introduced to the student. For instance, when they learn C#, the accompaniment is in C# minor or after playing the G major scale, a piece in A dorian mode (no 62. Galloping across the Plains is played).  This gives the student a wider aural experience than they would normally experience as a beginning player.
