The Accompaniment books include separate piano and violin accompaniments for every piece. Key features of the series: an approachable progression from beginner level to Grade 2, play-along tracks with each Student's book, which contain specially, created instrumental arrangements to convey style and mood, original compositions and arrangements by Edward Huws Jones. Edward Huws Jones is a composer, arranger and music educationalist. He studied at the University of York and the Royal Academy of Music, and went on to develop extensive experience as a string teacher. He has travelled widely to research fiddle-playing styles, and his original compositions are firmly established in educational repertoire.

Violin Star combines simple steps for learning with good funThroughout there are amusing, even topical, illustrations by Mark Beech. For every piece there are two colourful audio tracks, one with violin and one without. Huws Jones takes care not to allow any additional technical challenges to creep in too soon. Hardly any technical information is written out and explained, giving the teacher the opportunity to support the learning in whichever way is appropriate. The accompaniments deserve special mention, Huws Jones has reproduced the formula that works so well for his folk and world music collections; as well as a piano part, each piece comes with a violin part for the teacher which creates a satisfying accompaniment, giving the student an impressive idea of what the violin can do. They are so well planned and each new technical and music element is so carefully integrated,it is hard to see any reason to look elsewhere. In short, this series is set to become a classic. * Music Teacher *
