Violin Star 3 is the third and final volume in the inspiring three-book series designed to give beginner violinists an engaging and confidence-building repertoire. Building on the foundations of Books 1 and 2, this edition offers slightly more challenging pieces, carefully chosen to develop technical control, tone, and musical expression across a wide range of styles – from classical favourites to folk tunes and contemporary works.
The Student’s Book includes the solo violin parts, along with colourful illustrations and enjoyable activities that make learning both fun and effective. A professionally recorded playalong CD is included, providing authentic accompaniments to support practice in rhythm, intonation, and ensemble skills. An Accompaniment Book, available separately, provides piano and violin accompaniments for every piece.
Key features of the series:
-
Clear progression from beginner level through to approximately Grade 2.
-
Playalong CDs with each Student’s Book, featuring specially created accompaniments to convey style and mood.
-
Original compositions and imaginative arrangements by Edward Huws Jones, combining musical depth with educational insight.
Violin Star 3 brings the series to a rewarding conclusion, offering repertoire that helps students move towards more independent and expressive violin playing.
