Bags Of Fun For Violin Summary

Bags Of Fun For Violin by Mary Cohen

Bags of Fun For Violinis packed with imaginative pieces for absolute beginners: try chattering with skeletons, making a gate creak, admiring an octopus trampolining and watching frogs doing high jump!

Written by leading string pedagogue Mary Cohen, this book is gently progressive yet always entertaining, with plenty of material on the open strings and a gradual introduction of first and second fingers. Ideal for consolidation alongside any tutor, for sight-reading practice or just for fun!

Bags Of Fun For Violin Reviews

This is a real find as it encourages imagination and the reinforcement of simple notation. The ideas are original and progressive through the use of various keys and string levels using open string and 1st fingers.

Well worth a look and the investment at this critical stage of being able to develop the imagination through an initial text based idea on which you could then develop an improvisation.

ARCO, Spring 2013

Bags of Fun is a wonderfully simple book for the young beginner or for developing sight-reading with more advanced children. On the cover is a colourful depiction of fun musical chaos the kind that children tend to like-butinside there are no pictures; it is all left to the imagination.

There are 13 pages of one-line pieces using open strings, first and second fingers. They mostly come with titles which match the rhythm of the piece and frequently use the rhythm of speech to teach rests, long notes and accents. One of my favourites is, Look! Theres a bee in the bath!

There is no accompaniment, but the youngest students will be having more than enough fun succeeding at music they have already internalised while picturing, say, an octopus trampolining or elephants getting on a bus.

Music Teacher Magazine, October 2012

Designed for absolute beginners, these books include a variety of fun exercises and pieces designed to capture the interest of young players. Most are very short and designed to familiarise students with the instrument, with title such as Eeny Meeny Miney Mo, Theres a Hole in the Sole of My Wellie and our own favourite, Goldfish Swimming Past the Ruined Castle.
