Hymn Melodies For Violin and Viola, Volume I contains 15 very well-known Christian hymns, with the Second Violin part having three verses of difficulty — easy, medium, then hard. The book is all in first position, with very manageable keys. The most challenging rhythmic values are mostly 8th notes, with occasional 16ths.
This volume is geared for students in Suzuki book 3-4 or for students studying the Bach Gavottes or Seitz concerti. It is an awesome, multi-purpose kind of volume.
