Foundations for Strings - Violin

This book was written to provide music that will function firstly, as a method for the string teacher who has his or her own teaching concepts and simply wants accessible music for the students to play and read. This book seeks to reinforce each teacher's individual style without presenting contradictory or excessive pedagogical information. Secondly it is a folio of complete 2 and 3 part string orchestra pieces suitable for a performance as young string players progress from the very earliest stages while giving them a sense of the expressive potential of sound. Thirdly, it is a way for Suzuki trained students to develop reading skills that will complement their technical and aural skills in an ensemble setting.
