This coming summer I hope to do an ensemble with my violin students. I think it will really boost their note reading and rhythm abilities. Besides, I think it will be SO much fun!
I plan to have a beginner group and an advanced beginner group (all of my students except one have been playing for less than two years.) Here are a few of the books I've been looking at using.
Primo Performance (Violin) by Robert Frost
Primo Encores (Score) by Robert Frost
Artistry in Ensembles, Book 1 by Robert Frost and Deborah Monday
First Things First: Elementary Level Ensembles by Robert Frost
