The songs in Kaleidoscopes Book 2 are longer than those in the first book, but many songs early in the book are actually still four-bar songs in which the second half is played in a different key. In this way, young students experience the challenge of greater length without an increase in memorization difficulty.
Crescendo, diminuendo, vibrato and bow stylings are introduced toward the middle of Book 2, moving toward readiness for a few simple classical pieces in the latter part of the book. Students should be approaching a full-fledged vibrato by the time they complete the book.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
