Fiddle Time Starters: A Beginner's Book for the Young Violinist

Product Information

Building on the success of the Fiddle Time series, Fiddle Time Starters provides the best possible foundation for the budding string player. Simple and very clear and concise explanations about time and notes, good illustrations and easy little songs to learn at the beginning, but get longer and slighter harder towards the end as you would expect when a child progresses with violin skills. This was recommended to me by the violin teacher - to be honest I don't have much experience with violin books but having a quick flick through it seems pretty good!

Print it onto some colourful card, fill in your student’s name and reward them for whatever their achievement is. I am gradually integrating as much of this helpful material as I can into my 'normal' teaching even though pupils may be using a different book; it should I feel, be highlighted and held up as a shining example of 'best practice' within instrumental teaching training courses. Carefully paced to suit young learners, it supports players through the important early stages, step by step-from how to hold your instrument and bow, through basic notation, to exciting pieces in a range of styles. Violin accompaniments for all the pieces in Fiddle Time Runners, 3rd edition, suitable for a teacher or more advanced student. If your product comes complete with a CD or if you purchase a CD separately, then the tracks on the CD can easily be converted to MP3 files by using, for example, the “Rip CD” option in the Windows Media Player on a PC.The Fiddle Time Starters book is a very good start for the young to start learning how to play the Violin, it is very easy to follow and has a few songs to get you going. Violin accompaniments for all the pieces in Fiddle Time Joggers, third edition, suitable for a teacher or more advanced student. I love the way this book incorporates each fundamental point of technique within a very memorable/ traditional or collectively known rhyming song.
