Written by leading string pedagogue Mary Cohen, this book is gently progressive yet always entertaining, with plenty of material on the open strings and a gradual introduction of first and second fingers. Ideal for consolidation alongside any method, for sight-reading practice---or just for fun!

Beautiful Music for Two String Instruments, Book I [Piano Acc.]
By Samuel Applebaum () - The study of string instruments should include ensemble playing at the earliest possible stage. There is much to be gained from the playing of duets. Each player learns how to listen to the other, and in a short time develops an awareness of balance, musical phrasing, intonation, and tone quality. This type of training is excellent preparation for participation in large groups. These four volumes of duets for two violins will help fill the need for early ensemble experience in the public schools. They should be used in string classes as a supplement to any of the standard string methods. They will also encourage music making outside of the school, with parents or with other students. These duets are ideal for recitals in the public schools and in public school festivals. They may be played by two performers, or by multiple performers on each part, with or without piano accompaniment.

By Danielle Cummins () -
Discovering Violin Book and CD is a revolutionary approach towards learning how to play the violin by Danielle Cummins. This Complete (96 pg) Method is designed to teach a beginning violinist proper technique in a logically progressive manner. The sole objective is to encourage students to develop a passion for music. We have included an instructional performance CD to make practicing fun, rewarding and productive. Each piece is designed to take a student on an inspirational journey by discovering the beauty of music and its purpose. This adventure in learning will benefit both the student and teacher.

Introduction

Get ready to begin an exciting adventure. Experience the incredible satisfaction of learning how to play the violin. Begin to see the world from a whole new perspective, the world of musical sound. Gain new skills which will provide the ability to communicate through both visible and invisible means. This is the joy of musical sound.

To follow are a few suggestions to make your musical journey both meaningful and enjoyable:
- Playing violin is a rewarding process that requires diligence, perseverance, creativity and humility.
- Music is a mirror of beauty, truth, knowledge and imagination.
- A gradual step by step process is the best approach towards achieving excellence.
- Practice sessions must occur on a regular basis and follow a daily disciplined schedule.
- Practice sessions do not need to be long and tedious; they just need to be consistent with focus.
- Don't be afraid to leave something for tomorrow. The anticipation towards the next day's workout is as beneficial as the work itself. The ultimate goal is to aim for just a little progress each and every day.
- Be sensitive towards your physical limitations as everyone's tolerance is a bit different. Pay close attention to your body and know when to take a break, preferably before your muscles become sore.
- Remain as relaxed as possible whenever playing and remember to always breathe naturally.
- Be generous when playing for an audience and cherish the ability to share the gift of music to all.
