This book is licensed to The Yasuda Music Company LLC by the International Suzuki Association and includes pieces from Suzuki books 1B (starting with Bach Minuets) through book 3.  Melody lines from Suzuki pieces are at a smaller font with grayscale, which fulfills copyright requirements.

Also included are six non-Suzuki pieces, bringing the grand total to 28 familiar, standard pieces! You will find Bach Minuets, Gavottes and Bourrees as well as pieces by Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann etc.

DOUBLE STOP ACCOMPANIMENTS: Martha’s love of double stops entered her violin teaching studio over 20 years ago, as she would “on the spot” make up double stop accompaniments to pieces that students were working on. The end result adds greater harmonic fullness. The level of difficulty is Mozart concerti / solo Bach.

TRIOS: It makes perfect sense to add a third player to form Simplified Trios by dividing the double stops. The same 28 titles are included from the Suzuki-licensed duet book Harmonious Melodies for Two Violins: Volume I (includes pieces from Suzuki Books 1B, starting with the Bach Minuets, and 2-3).
