Easy Songs for Shifting in the First Five Positions

Teach violin with the popular Suzuki Violin School.

Revised edition features:

New engravings in a 9″ x 12″ format The catchy tunes in this book help students learn the basic shifts in the first five positions without the difficulty of established etude studies. The short melodies are easily learned and when used with the piano accompaniments are pretty and enjoyable to play. Your students will enjoy practicing shifts they will find in future major pieces. They actually drill on a particular shift without realizing it. Incremental learning techniques are used throughout the book.

These studies are used equally well as individual lesson material or as group activities. A second violin part has been included, and special attention has been given to the piano accompaniments for added interest.
