Violin Music
Strings are an essential part of an orchestra: they provide
the fluid center to the loud bombast of brass. Author Janice Tucker
Rhoda’s groundbreaking book of violin music is excellent for beginning
students because it gives a thorough background to the classic instrument.
The ABCs of Violin for the Absolute Beginners, Rhoda’s book of
violin music, includes:
• Simple duets
• Note-reading worksheet
• Practice chart
• Scales
One of the strongest points of Rhoda’s book is her original material
and her arrangements of familiar, classical selections that are translated
for the sensitive beginner. As with any good violin music, it doesn’t
induce frustration or animosity toward the instrument.
