Product Information:
This is the beginning of a
scale game continuing through all 6 Green Books. In the course of the
game, the student will learn the structure of the Major and Relative minor
(melodic & harmonic) scales. Playing in 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions
with agility exercises and etudes, the left hand prepares for actual
shifting between positions. Special features of Book 4A are vibrato duets,
tone control exercises, bow strokes (legato, staccato, portato, martelé),
conducting in 5/8 and 3/8 time, continuation of pitch training with
singing and solfège hand signals. The technique of playing 3- and 4-string
chords (both pizzicato and arco) also helps the student hear the
underlying harmonies. This book includes 8 duets, 6 piano accompaniments
and music by Clementi, Gounod, Telemann, Cherubini, Tchaikovsky, Gilbert
& Sullivan, Schumann, Daquin etc. and various fiddle tune jigs and
hornpipes.
