Overview of Vol. One
In Part
1, the child learns to hold the violin, execute a few simple rhythmic patterns,
hold the bow, and play the notes by rote imitation.
In Part
2, the child reads each note on the page as a word: open, one, two, three, or
four. During this time, there is no
playing.
In Part 3, the child
plays the music with the understanding of each note as a number, not a letter
name.
