Violin Star

The repertoire is imaginatively tailored to develop specific techniques through an exciting range of musical styles – classical, traditional, pop, rock, jazz, world music – as well as original compositions written for the series.

The Student’s books contain the solo violin parts, along with colourful illustrations, activities and a playalong CD. The Accompaniment books include separate piano and violin accompaniments for every piece.

Key features of the series:

• An approachable progression from beginner level to Grade 2
• Playalong CDs with each Student’s book, which contain specially created instrumental arrangements to convey style and mood
• Original compositions and arrangements by Edward Huws Jones
