These variations on standard Suzuki melodies were written to have specific technical challenges such as vibrato, double stops, finger action, bowing techniques, shifting, harmonics, and positions.

William Starr's book introduces the basic skills of scales, keys, pitch, and rhythm in a presentation written for adults to explain to children. The music is organized by scale, key, and finger patterns, allowing the student to learn through repetition of these patterns. The book has specific step-by-step activity suggestions, and enjoyable duets and folk music are included throughout.

William Starr's second book in this outstanding series of "adventures" provides a wealth of help to the beginning violinist. Like Book 1, it is designed to help early music readers understand the basic skills of scales, keys, pitch, and rhythm in a presentation written for adults to explain to children. The music is organized by scale, key, and finger patterns, allowing the student to learn through repetition of these patterns. The book has specific step-by-step activity suggestions, and enjoyable duets and folk music are included throughout.

Renowned Suzuki pedagogue William Starr continues his valuable teaching series with this third volume. The goals of this series are to help young violinists to become good sight-readers and good "working-out" readers, and to make music reading fun, with folk and classical music presented in duets for ensemble enjoyment. New keys and finger extensions are logically introduced to greatly accelerate reading in positions; especially noteworthy is the section devoted to recognition of and fingering for intervals.

Violin 3 part matches the viola part.

Great music that is enjoyable and possible for students to play. Music that sounds well and reasonably complete in two voices. Music suitable for students completing Starr's "Adventures in Music Reading" Part 3. Music that presents problems in rhythm, tonality (various keys), and musical expression rather than advanced technical challenges. Music that would serve as a music appreciation course. Excerpts in this book from great music by Bach, Beethoven, Berlioz, Chopin, Corelli, Handel, Haydn, Humperdinck, Mozart, Rossini, Schumann, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, and Vivaldi.
