Violin Online String Sampler: Violin Sheet Music is a fun and easy way to actively learn, study and play beautiful violin music from a wide variety of styles and eras. 54 pieces are featured, representing music history periods, styles and cultures, including Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th Century, Fiddle, Klezmer, Gypsy, Chinese, Greek, Carnatic, Arabic, Mariachi, Ragtime and Blues. These arrangements have been simplified for advanced beginners to intermediate players (all of the music is in 1st position), and provide a representative sampling of most major forms of string music such as concertos, symphonies, sonatas, quartets and trios. A study guide, sold separately, explains the history and musical form of the selected pieces, and includes violin technique tips for each piece of music. As an added bonus, sound files of each piece are currently available on a website specifically designed to accompany this course: http: //www.violinonlinestringsampler.com (no guarantees are made that these sound files and website will be available indefinitely). Content from ViolinOnline is also provided on this website, including a review of violin basics such as instrument care and tuning; violin playing position; fingering assistance; violin technique tips; scales and etudes; and music theory basics.
