These four volumes are
designed as companion
volumes to the “Early Start on
the Viola” method but work
equally well as a supplement
to any other viola method. As
all pieces are written entirely
in first position, they can be
used just after a few months of
lessons.
The piano part may be played
by the teacher or an advanced
student. Alternatively a second
viola part allows duet playing
with the teacher during lessons.
Volumes 1 and 2 can be used as
a supplement to the “Early Start
on the Viola” method, Volumes
1 and 2 (BA 9686 and BA 9687).
The 18 pieces are structured to
follow the same progression of
finger patterns introduced in
the “Early Start” method. This
systematic progression helps
the student to solidify the hand
position and improve intonation.
The basic bowing techniques
do not require changes in bow
speed or sounding point. The
young performer can focus on a
straight and beautifully placed
bow that produces a pleasing
and clear sound.
Volumes 3 and 4 can be used as
a supplement to the “Early Start
on the Viola” method, Volumes
2 and 3 (BA 9687 and BA 9688).
The 12 pieces are structured to
follow the same progression of
finger patterns introduced in
the “Early Start” method. The
later repertoire in this volume
includes a careful introduction
of downward and upward
extensions.
