And the final step, their first Violin Concerto!

After playing two strings together, shifting the hand up and down the violin to play higher notes, counting advanced rhythms, smoothing out bow strokes, and challenging themselves in a Rhythm Olympics, students play their first Violin Concerto. And all this, step-by-step on a simple pathway anyone can travel, at any age.

And by this time the student is a pretty good teacher as well, totally capable, by using the books with a little sister, brother or friend, to turn around and share the wonderful gift of music with another.
