Lauri Hamalainen - Violin Friends, Violin Part 1A

Violin Part 1A is a fun and colorful collection of great music for the beginner violin player including melodies by the classical masters like Mozart, Handel, Purcell, Beethoven, Bach and popular European and American children's songs.

Violin Friends 1A is the first part of the Violin Friends family. It consist of short melodies, rhythmical exercises, scales, technical duets, duos and trios. The arrangements for 2 violins gives students the possibility to study and perform music and technique together with their friends and teachers right from the beginning.

The book starts with warming-up exercises and aims at creating playful inspiration for the student and teacher. Melodies are presented in a pedagogical order after the new scale has been studied. Some ideas concerning natural, big movements to help building up playing technique by Paul Rolland are included in this version of 2020.

The Violin Friends 1A books belong together with Piano Part 1A with simplified piano parts. The easy accompaniments makes it easier for children of the same age to practice and perform together.
