O'Connor Violin Method: A New American School Of String Playing, Book 1 with online audio access - Mark O'Connor
The O'Connor Method includes some of the great folk songs, fiddle tunes and classic themes that have endured the country's 400-year-old history of violin playing, representing all the Americas - Mexico, Canada and every region of the United States ¡ - and musical styles including classical, folk, Latin, jazz, rock and ragtime. O'Connor has chosen and arranged material that will help create the future classical violinist, folk fiddler, jazz musician - or all three.
"Gradual development of left-hand technique, bowing skill and ear training as revealed through the study of beautiful music encourages a love of music-making in a slow, steady and natural way."
