Book 2C, Meet Vibby Vibrato, teaches vibrato step-by-step with many songs and exercises. First, posture and violin hold are reviewed. Vibrato is begun in 4th Position; next, the student moves to 3rd Position with the help of a partner. Finally, vibrato is learned in 1st Position - again, first with a partner. The Violinland character "Vibby Vibrato" is the cheerful guide through the many fun violin exercises and songs. The young violinist earns a Vibrato Certificate at the end of the book.
"Young children love the violin! It is small and huggable ƒ?? and it makes sounds! How to nurture this initial enthusiasm for the instrument and to transform it into a deeper love of music is the object of my books."
"Don't be misled by the seeming simplicity of the material! The books are written from a child's point of view while incorporating the most exacting standards of modern violin technique. But there are other important features of the books that contribute to their uniqueness:
*The young student is encouraged to participate actively in his own learning by developing his own imagination.
*There is discovery and improvisation. No imitation or copying from CDs.
*Training the child's own pitch awareness from the start assures early in-tune playing.
*Note reading and harmonic awareness from the beginning cultivate musical literacy for a lifetime.
*A wonderful rhythmic foundation is established through body movement"\n
