  • practical ideas for aural training and theory
  • an ideal companion volume to Fiddle Time Sprinters.

    Reviews

    • 'With one page for each scale, its arpeggio, a piece, a study, and a musicianship exercise, it is a clearly organised and a very welcome resource book. There is a good mix of folk, classical and specially-written pieces and, most usefully, an explanation of the dominant 7th. It promises to be a valuable addition to the violin-teaching repertoire.' -Music Teacher Jan 2004
    • 'Authors Kathy and David Blackwell lay out easy-to-follow and fun exercises. The books are filled with colorful illustrations and most of the musical exercises include whimsical lyrics and fun tips.' -Strings (US) Oct 03

    The specification in this catalogue, including without limitation price, format, extent, number of illustrations, and month of publication, was as accurate as possible at the time the catalogue was compiled.
