Kaleidoscopes One

I have reviewed the book, and as a retired string teacher, I find it excellent. I plan to use it with my granddaughter, and know she will love the Kodaly aspect. The songs are cheerful and well presented. Many teaching details are included to present songs and violin techniques. I appreciate the concepts that align with Suzuki, especially technical challenges and ear training. Finally, the books are so beautiful and well designed….Kudos to the author and the publishers.

BK 1

I ordered BK 1 for my student and she has been loving it. She enjoys playing the songs on the piano, and violin, and singing them. Her skills are noticably improving.
