The Note Reading School for Violinists, Vol. 1 introduces music reading in a clear, step-by-step way.
It is designed for students who have learned to play the violin by ear and are ready to develop basic note reading skills.

The book is divided into 22 steps. Activities in each step:

- Rhythm Exercises
- Pitch Exercises
- Duet or Canon

Through chanting, singing, playing, and simple melodies, students gradually learn to connect notation with sound and movement.
Duets and canons play an important role in building motivation, ensemble skills, and confidence in reading music.

This material is designed for gradual use over several levels and may be worked on over an extended period of time, depending on the student’s individual progress.

Additional materials in the media library

To support the work with the book, the media library offers:

- Piano accompaniments (audio) for all rhythm and pitch exercises (Steps 1–7, 8–14, and 15–22)
- Easy duets with piano accompaniments (audio & PDF), suitable for lessons and concerts
- A Video Collection with many practical examples from the 22 steps, showing different teaching and practice approaches

The printed edition of the Note Reading School for Violinists, Vol. 1 is available separately in the USA and Europe.
