Kaleidoscopes for Violin
30 October 2024

Musical scores, lyrics & libretti; String instruments; Techniques of music & music tutorials

Kaleidoscopes Book 2 is designed to foster agility, grace, and emotional expression in the young violinist. These diverse, international songs - including Slovak, African American, Swedish, Irish, and other traditions - appeal to students' need for uniqueness and variety, and are the perfect size to provide both challenge and momentum.

The book fosters by-ear learning through the inclusion of various ""fill-in-the-blank"" measures in each piece, encouraging the child to figure out the missing notes using the recording as an auditory model. By the end of the book, students can play confidently by ear. Writing the missing notes into their part develops and reinforces students' understanding of meter, pitch, rhythm, and notation.

Skills introduced include vibrato, spiccato, lowered first finger, crescendo and diminuendo, spiccato, rapid 16th notes, 6/8 meter, Bb major, C major (utilizing a lowered first finger), grace notes, and 5/4 meter.

Reviews for Kaleidoscopes for Violin Book 2

My students delight in the variety and beauty of the repertoire in Kaleidoscopes Book 2 - and I delight in seeing them attain excellent technique, beautiful vibrato, and a uniquely personal self-expression so early in their musical study. This method has helped to be the creative, joyful, and effective teacher I have always wished to be! - Erika Walczak, Pasadena Conservatory of Music
