One Step At A Time: The Teacher's Score, Viola III

One Step At A Time is a five-part method of teaching the fundamentals of music on the viola. It is written in a way that is logical, sequential, and easy to understand. The success of this approach is in its simplicity. The writing of this series is the culmination of many years of teaching, and is based on carefully considered pedagogical principles. Book III introduces two new patterns, the ONE-TWO and THREE-FOUR FINGER PATTERNS with easy intermediate tunes and exercises. As with the first two books in this series, the fundamental concepts are introduced on uncluttered pages, without the distraction of letter names or fingerings. The Teacher's Score includes piano accompaniments to all the music in VIOLA BOOK III of One Step at a Time, by Jennie Lou Klim. These parts were written, edited, and/or arranged by Harriett C. Miller. The level of complexity follows the progress of the student. There are no tempo markings, so the teacher can select the tempo best suited for each individual student.
