Product Description
by Jennie Lou Klim (Author)
A Guide for Teaching Violin to Very Young Children is designed as an alternate approach to teaching violin to children as young as 4 years old. It is unique in two ways: 1. The student learns to READ the notes as a fingering, before any PLAYING takes place. 2. The initial key introduced is F MAJOR, beginning with the first finger at the nut. With this pattern, 1 2 34, the fingers fall into a more natural position for the small hand. This guide contains supplemental information that is found in the earlier publication, A Guide to Teaching Violin, which can be of value to teachers of students of all ages. OVERVIEW PREFACE: SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION PART ONE: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE VIOLIN AND BOW AND ROTE PLAYING PART TWO: READING EACH NOTE AS A FINGERING PART THREE: PLAYING EACH NOTE WITHOUT FINGERING INDICATIONS PROLOGUE: MORE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
