Violin Theory Book 2
Embedded Files
This series of videos is intended for intermediate violin students who have a very basic understanding of musical concepts already. My students use these videos as they work through Suzuki Violin Book 1, though students at that same level using other method books will surely benefit from this content! Materials with *** beside them are given to my students during a lesson. For students who crave precision when folding the initial paper in 3rds, here is a PDF to assist: Cutting Paper in 3rds
