These easy-to-read, progressive exercises by Joanne Martin develop
a student's reading skills one stage at a time, with many
repetitions at each stage. I Can Read Music is designed as a first
note-reading book for students of string instruments who have
learned to play using an aural approach such as the Suzuki
Method(R), or for traditionally taught students who need extra note
reading practice. Its presentation of new ideas is clear enough
that it can be used daily at home by quite young children and their
parents, with the teacher checking progress every week or two.

Scored by Thomas F. Heck for solo violin with classical guitar
accompaniment, this collection includes pieces from Volumes 1-3 of
the Suzuki Violin School. Heck, himself a guitarist and Suzuki
parent, intended the arrangements to serve as interesting
alternative accompaniments to the Violin School repertoire. The
contrapuntal interest and enriched timbral possibilities of the
violin-with-guitar combination result in unusually appealing
chamber music performance pieces suited for young musicians. The
intermediate-to-advanced level classical guitar notation is
supplemented by chord symbols to enable non-classically trained
guitarists to accompany the violin line. Contents are: Twinkle,

This book explains and shows in detail the various techniques used
by fiddle players in creating a traditional style of playing. All
the information is presented in the context of the music itself,
with numerous transcribed and recorded examples. It is aimed not
only at the beginner, but also the fiddle-player (and indeed
violinist) with some knowledge and experience who wishes to learn
more. For those unable to read music, a chapter on notation is
included. Particular emphasis is given to bowing and ornamentation,
with individual chapters devoted to jigs, slides, polkas,
hornpipes, airs and reels. The book also attempts to convey
something of the excitement felt in playing music which has a large
degree of improvisation, albeit within certain bounds. The
demonstration CD, which features a large selection of the
transcribed tunes and ornaments performed by Cranitch, is an
invaluable aid to learning as it allows the listener to hear how
the music and ornamentation should sound.
In the early seventeenth century, enthusiasm for the violin swept
across Europe-this was an instrument capable of bewitching
virtuosity, with the power to express emotions in a way only before
achieved with the human voice. With this new guide to the Baroque
violin, and its close cousin, the Baroque viola, distinguished
performer and pedagogue Walter Reiter puts this power into the
hands of today's players. Through fifty lessons based on the
Reiter's own highly-renowned course at The Royal Conservatory of
the Hague, The Baroque Violin & Viola, Volume II provides a
comprehensive exploration of the period's rich and varied
repertoire. The lessons in Volume II cover the early
seventeenth-century Italian sonata, music of the French Baroque,
the Galant style, and the sonatas of composers like Schmelzer,
Biber, and Bach. Practical exercises are integrated into each
lesson, and accompanied by rich video demonstrations on the book's
companion website. Brought to life by Reiter's deep insight into
key repertoire based on a lifetime of playing and teaching, The
Baroque Violin & Viola, Volume II: A Fifty-Lesson Course will
enhance performances of professional and amateur musicians alike.
