Violin Star 3 28 progressive pieces for Grade 1 to 2 violinists | *, & | ee IS Edward Huws Jones Illustrations by Mark Beech eee Welcome to Violin Star tk eM To the teacher: This series will inspire violinists to develop confidence and musical sils through a refreshing choice of pieces. The repertoire presents a logical and approachable progression from the very first stages of playing through to Grade 2. Each piece is designed to develop a specific technique; as the series progresses, the pieces introduce the keys (and their related finger patterns) encountered at the early grades. There isa fun mix of ‘musical styles, which include arrangements and original compositions. For each of the three Violin Star levels, there is one Student's book and one Accompaniment book, The Student's books contain the solo violin part, and an audio CD. The Accompaniment books have separate piano and violin accompaniments for every piece. The three different forms of accompaniment in Violin Star offer variety, flexibility and interaction for both pupil and teacher. Dotted around the Student's books you will find suggestions for supporting activities, which can be used in individual or group teaching and can form a base to develop your own ideas. Al 106 pieces in Violin Star were created during the course of my work as a peripatetic violin teacher. Children are wonderful critics, and if they don't like the music they won't mince their words. The repertoire in Violin Star passed the test —in fact, it could not have been written without the students ‘hope you enjoy Violin Star!
