47 progressive pieces for beginner violinists
Edward Huws [ones
Illustrations by Mark Beech
Welcome to Violin Star
To the teacher: This series will inspire violinists to develop confidence and musical skills 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 is a 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.
All 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.
I hope you enjoy Vio/in Star!

Play Heading South while gently swaying from foot to foot. This will help you to feel the
rhythm and free up your bowing arm. Follow the movement of your bow, and remember to
keep swaying when you lift your bow off the string (retake) for the bar's rest. ACTIVITV

ACTIVITV
Now try making up your own tunes for Saraswati. Let your
teacher begin by playing the opening two-bar phrase of the
melody for Saraswati and then you can make up your own
two-bar answer. Continue to take turns, with your teacher
repeating the same opening phrase while you respond with
a different pattern - see how long you can keep going!• Use these notes: •• •
• Vou don't need to play all the notes - you can just choose
one or two of them.
• Play the notes in any order, and as many times as you like.
It works best if you don't look at the music!
