VIOLIN SCHOOL PIANO ACCOMP BOOK 2

Teach violin with the popular Suzuki Violin School. The Suzuki Method® of Talent Education is based on Shinichi Suzuki’s view that every child is born with ability, and that people are the product of their environment. According to Shinichi Suzuki, a world-renowned violinist and teacher, the greatest joy an adult can know comes from developing a child’s potential so he/she can express all that is harmonious and best in human beings. Students are taught using the “mother-tongue” approach. Each series of books for a particular instrument in the Suzuki Method is considered a Suzuki music school, such as the Suzuki Violin School. Suzuki lessons are generally given in a private studio setting with additional group lessons. The student listens to the recordings and works with their Suzuki violin teacher to develop their potential as a musician and as a person.

This Suzuki piano accompaniment book aids in Suzuki violin lessons.

Titles: Chorus from Judas Maccabaeus (Handel) * Musette (Bach) * Hunters’ Chorus (Weber) * Long, Long Ago (Bayly) * Waltz (Brahms), Bourrée (Handel) * The Two Grenadiers (Schumann) * Theme from Witches’ Dance (Paganini) * Gavotte from Mignon (Thomas) * Gavotte (Lully) * Minuet in G (Beethoven) * Minuet (Boccherini).

SOUND INNOVATIONS SO SOUND DEVELOPMENT VIOLIN

Kelly Cacciola — Tue, 16 Jan 2018 06:07:20 +0000

Sound Innovations: Sound Development emphasizes playing with a characteristic beautiful sound. The components of producing this sound are broken into four levels, consistent with the revolutionary Sound Innovations structure: (1) Sound Tone, (2) Sound Bowings, (3) Sound Shifting, and (4) Sound Scales, Arpeggios, Chorales, and Rhythms. The levels can be used in the order that is best for your students, as individual warm-ups or as structured units. Your students will learn the proper use of the bow with the variables of tone, the next group of bowings needed for intermediate repertoire, and how to shift and play with vibrato. These skills will be reinforced with comprehensive scales, arpeggios, sight-reading materials, rhythm exercises, and warm-up chorales. Video demonstrations of key skills are referenced in the book and can be viewed online at www.alfred.com/SoundDevelopmentVideo.
This title is available in SmartMusic.
