Product Information:
New in this book are key
signatures, expressive passing notes, learning and writing sharps, flats
and naturals. This is reinforced in Chapter 14 of the Note People Story.
Syncopation is presented as a physical movement (stamping and clapping)
and with word rhythms leading up to lively songs. Good bow direction is
secured with the "Musical Math" pages introduced here and
continued in Book 4C. The student explores the fingerboard up to the 4th
Position, also learns the advantage of using 1/2 Position. The concept of
left hand "bounce" is introduced to facilitate shifting and
agility. Adding double stops to familiar songs helps the left hand shape.
The octave interval is presented both in solfège pitch singing and note
reading and writing. This book contains 13 duets, 7 piano accompaniments,
and music by J.S.Bach, Lehar, Beethoven, Joplin, Grieg, Mendelssohn,
Mozart, Telemann, Schumann, Rameau, and assorted reels and fiddle tunes.
