• •101n47 progressive pieces for beginner violinists
Edward Huws [onesIllustrations by Mark Beech
Welcome to Violin StarTo the teacher: This series will inspire violinists to develop confidence and musical skills through arefreshing choice of pieces.The repertoire presents a logical and approachable progression from thevery first stages of playing through to Grade 2.
Each piece is designed to develop a specific technique; as the series progresses, the pieces introducethe keys (and their related finger patterns) encountered at the early grades. There is a fun mix ofmusical 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 bookshave separate piano and violin accompaniments for every piece. The three different forms ofaccompaniment 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 beused 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. Therepertoire in Violin Star passed the test - in fact, it could not have been written without the students.I hope you enjoy Vio/in Star!

ACTIVITVNow try making up your own tunes for Saraswati. Let yourteacher begin by playing the opening two-bar phrase of themelody for Saraswati and then you can make up your owntwo-bar answer. Continue to take turns, with your teacherrepeating the same opening phrase while you respond witha different pattern - see how long you can keep going!
• Use these notes: •• •
• Vou don't need to play all the notes - you can just chooseone 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!
