Learn, Practice, and Apply. Students start with fingers down. Lesson One starts with F#, not an open string. This is easy for a beginner. To add new notes, students just lift a finger, then another finger, and finally an open string. They also learn to read by interval.

Lessons utilize a Scope and Sequence concept and build upon previous lessons. Students also learn form, pitch relationships, music terminology, improvisation, and basic composition.

The enclosed CD is a recording of a simple piano accompaniment for each lesson. Since this is the same accompaniment used in class, home practice can better reinforce classroom instruction.

Rather than being a large textbook with general suggestions, the teacher edition presents a practical approach. Hints are concise and support each lesson. An additional CD with warm-ups, worksheets, and suggested lesson plans is also included.

Denese Odegaard, a nationally recognized string educator, has successfully used this method in her music classes for over 20 years.
