By developing an aural approach together with visual learning, this book avoids difficulties of reading even at the earliest stage. Rhythm exercises and introduced before any pitch notation, preparing young violinists for the attractive tunes which follow.
All the melodies are kept within the compass of the scale of D major. As well as being easy to read, sing, and play, this ensures a natural height of the bowing arm, helping to acheive a good sound. Words are included to help learning and so that even the simplest tunes are fun.
Duet parts for the violin or piano are included so that beginners learn the importance of ensemble playing and keeping time right from the start.
