Colledge - Stepping Stones - violin and piano

Stepping stones by Katherine and Hugh Colledge. Twenty-six pieces for violin (with piano accompaniment)

Edited by Sheila M. Nelson

In this collection of pieces for beginners, the composers have adopted a "slowly but surely" approach. By gradually introducing new ideas and giving several examples to illustrate each point, the student has the opportunity to consolidate newly-acquired skills and build a firm foundation for future learning.
This book introduces the open strings and first finger notes with simple rhythms while its sequel, Waggon Wheels, covers 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers (in 1-2 3-4 pattern) and slurred bowing. (...)
