Mary Cohen: Scaley Monsters (Violin)

A monster guide to scale practice aimed at young violinists of grades 1-2 in standard. Each scale/arpeggio is accompanied by a Dinosaur Footprint Map, which indicates finger pattern, with lots of handy tips including standard rhythmic variants. Each scale also has a special solo piece in the same key, using the scale and arpeggio patterns, so that young players can understand the importance of scale practice and how it relates to successful performance. Delightfully illustrated with dinosaur cartoons, Scaley Monsters is guaranteed to take the boredom out of scale practice.
