Scorekeeper’s Method for Violin Mastery + Milestone Map Bundle (Level 1)

Enjoy the Scorekeeper’s Method for Violin Mastery more deeply when bundled with the Milestone Map + Certificate + Teacher’s Manual!

This violin method book builds a strong foundation from the very first lesson. Beginning at the Pre-Twinkle level, it’s perfect for first-time students, or for helping developing musicians banish bad habits and replace them with a solid technique that comes with ease.  In this bundle, it’s paired with our Milestone Map and Teacher’s Manual, providing a physical gamified journey for the violin student and also valuable advice and direction for how to use the method.

Book 1 is the gateway into the Scorekeeper’s Musical Realm, a connected learning ecosystem where stories, theory, practice skills, and milestones work together to support students both in lessons and throughout the week: 

 This violin book goes beyond providing skill builders, scales, and repertoire. It’s built to be the student’s own practice guide, with tips and encouragement to support the teacher’s work between lessons! 

In addition to more than 60+ selections of exercises, scales, short melodies, and violin recital duets, students receive direct instruction in effective practice skills, including deep observation, slow practice, reasonable repetition, short- and long-term goal setting, and appreciation for quality over quantity, all wrapped into a colorful, gamified storybook setting. 

In short, this system is designed for the challenges of modern music practice and teaching; something that can go up against busy schedules and distracting screens. In this modern age, a method that is both highly efficient and attractive is a necessity.
