Book Examples for Level 1 Violin pages 40-41 by Theresa Ellis

PREFACE  "Knowledge of music basics and foundation is essential to the master musician. This book will instruct from elementary or beginning level playing for first year string instrument players (violin, viola and cello) to provide a secure foundation for more advanced higher playing skills. The philosophy of right brain verses left brain training (and learning preferences) are addressed throughout."    ~T

Notice the block letter first sample and the music notation second example of the song "Old One Two" (Violin II a 2 finger song).  The third example is part of the more advanced Violin I section of the book from pages 78-79 for "The Old One Two" shown in music notation below.  

​STRING MASTERS LEVEL I - VIOLIN
The right brain version (block letters and finger numbers) appear in the book on the left pages of the book, and its mirror of same thing only in music notation (left brain thinking) appears on the right pages in the book. Most of the beginning songs appear both ways like that, giving the student a chance to make their learning choice along the way. Both parts Violin I and Violin II can be played simultaneously providing harmonies and similar rhythms to enhance class style learning.
