Books in the Violin Playtime series

Violin Study Time is an anthology of established and newly composed studies which are designed to help the young violinist's technique in several directions. It may be used in conjunction with the Young Violinist's Repertoire Pieces. There are studies for various types of bowing, studies for finger action and basic shifts and several studies which introduce third position. This useful selection features studies by the greatest violin teachers of all time, including Czerny, Sevick and Dancla.

Violin Playtime Studies is a first anthology of established and newly-composed studies for the young violinist. Taking as its starting point the one octave scale of D major, and remaining in first position throughout, it may be used in conjunction with the violin Playtime series. This combination of short, purposeful studies enlivened by delightful illustrations will ensure that 'study time' is never dull!

With Violin Playtime, the beginner violinist can make music from the very first lessons. In the three books that make up the series, there are over a hundred little pieces, a treasure-trove of attractive tunes - some traditional, some by composers of the past, some newly composed. But this is more than just an easy anthology; the underlying approach is 'learn as you play', and a carefully devised ground plan of technical development makes it a manual in disguise, a tutor without text.
