The O'Connor Violin Method, Bk 2: Piano Acc.

by Bob Phillips

A beautifully sequenced approach to the violin! This new method uses traditional music of the Americas as well as original compositions by Mark O'Connor. Perfect for the private studio, as a supplement in the studio, or for violin class in the school, these first two volumes of The O'Connor Violin Method will develop your students' technical and musical skills. The traditional tunes and duets are carefully sequenced for proper pedagogy and supplemental exercises are included for all new skills, including bow development, finger development, theory and ear training/improvisation. Based on the philosophy that America is developing its own style of string playing, melding many traditions, and on Mark's experiences learning the violin, this method breaks boundaries. Mark O'Connor joined forces with well-known string educator and composer, Bob Phillips, to provide a new introduction to the world of violin. The violin books are available with and without an accompaniment CD. A piano accompaniment is also available. There will be correlated pieces for string orchestra.
