Review
"A great teaching tool...wish I'd had it years ago!" --
Louise Saunders, a member of the Stockton Symphony, and the Valley Arts Quartet."I find 'Sounds On Strings' a very workable and attractive series for young students. The rhythms, clapping, pizzicato and arco combinations are fun and provide good incentives for advancement." --
Betty Iacovetti, Former string instructor of Fresno City College [retired] and currently on the music staff at Fresno Pacific University. She has a large class of private violin students of all ages."The fine layout of this book helps to promote student success and works very well in a beginning string orchestra. Teachers are able to guide the pace of their students with a basic concept per page. Congratulations!" --
Susan C. Brown, Director of Strings, Cabrillo College, Aptos, California Author of "Two Octave Scales and Bowings for the Violin and Viola""The simplicity of this book MAKES you learn faster. I love the pictures." --
Barak Hernandez, an adult beginning violin student with no background in music.
