Trios For Violins

John Cacavas has cleverly arranged an assortment of folk tunes, holiday favorites and original melodies in a wide range of styles. Each collection features 22 well-crafted arrangements specifically chosen for each instrument.

This series contains all of the pieces from Volumes 1 and 2 of the Suzuki Violin School arranged for three violins. Suzuki Violin Volume 1 serves as the violin 1 part. The pieces can be played with or without piano accompaniment, which expands their performance possibilities. Another advantage is that students at different playing and reading levels can make music together. The score contains a chart that lists the level of difficulty of each piece and each part so that the teacher can easily assign parts. All of the parts were purposely kept as simple as possible. A table listing the reading skills required for each piece is found in the back of the violin 2 and violin 3 books.

A great first violin book for the very young student featuring extra large notation, letters inside the note heads, fingerings, plus coloring and activity pages. For multiple school orders, please contact us for a discount code good for up to 40% off the cover price at www.violinfunbook.com

A variety of combinations of instruments can play trios with these books. With the exception of the basses, any three like-instruments such as three flutes, three clarinets, three cornets, three trombones, three bassoons, and so on can play together in three-part harmony. Numerous mixed-instruments such as violin, trumpet, and tuba also may perform all of the trios in these books. Basses must play the bottom line only, but the music is arranged so that they have the melody from time to time. Any number of instrumentalists may play together in three-part harmony. Thus, directors can rehearse the music with large ensembles an assign trios of players or groups of players to practice and perform together.
