Item Description
Susie Dantzig, a violinist in the Capital City Symphony, presents a new and clever approach to learning to play the violin unlike any other instructional manual.
Using wit, wisdom and charm, the author introduces us to Val the Violin, an engaging character who will lead young budding musicians to explore their hidden talents. Beginning with an Introduction to Music, the author incorporates images and photographs to clearly exhibit elements such as the parts of the violin, how to hold the violin and bow, and musical symbols.
The method introduced in this book is unique in that it teaches the student to read music as well as play. The author wrote this book with over 10 years of experience teaching private lessons to children as young as 2 years old. In addition to teaching students how to play the violin and basic music theory, Val the Violin is also a valuable resource that students can revisit for reference as they become more advanced musicians. Following the final chapter is a reference guide that teaches the students how to figure out the key signature of a piece of music, a page of simple scales, and a glossary of all of the musical terms, symbols, and concepts introduced in all of the lessons.
Always remember, music is a lifelong activity and this book is a foundation for a child as he or she embarks on his or her musical journey.
