I '-HE BELWIN STRING BUltBERI "Y:}J;-'Y:}I: l'lIo

L ~;I. ".:) The Belwin String Builder is C\ string class Mothod in which the Violin, Viola, Cello and Bass play, ",.iii,together throughout. Each book, however, is a complete unit and Illay he used separately for class orI ..,,,,~,individua.1 instruction.

1\.. ...--. ' In this ~ethod, the quarter note approach is adopted not only h?Cause it is the unit of the b~at,J' '" but because It encourages freedom of the bow arm at the outset. Startmg from No. 15, the open strmg, " .•••)melodies and those that introduce the first finger serve as an accompaniment to well-known folk songs,. 'li":) which are written for the piano. This provides musical purpose to the melodies and stimulates rhythmic'I ",.interest. A small "p" after the number indicates that there is a piano part for that melody.

,~~ After the first finger, F# and en are introduced. This has proven to be most practicable from theI'" standpoint of tonality and left hand finger placement. From this point on, the student plays the actual

I,'l":lmelodies. However, on Page 20, Ii' nnturnl and C natural are present.ed to develop intonation and to," "!'~ more readily prepare the pupil for the school orchestra.

"''1) The material in this book is realistically graded so that only a minimum of explanatory material'\ •..:-t is required. Each melody is in teresting and will prov ide the basis for a fine left hand technic and bow arm.,.. ~ ,

If we play eight notes going up a step Ilt a Ume so that Ule 8th note is an octave above the lat note,we have a Bcale.

If there is a half-atep between the 3rd and '!Ul notes and a half-atep between the 7th and 8th notHB,we have a Major Bcale. Let'a divide the scale Into two halves. Each half is called a tetraohord .

The First Half of a Scale (in different rhythms)Notice the half-step between Ule 3rd and 4th notes.

~n. n¥F=~nGJ IJ ~i£t=r=JJI[sJgF~~-m.. The Second Half of the Same Scale (in the same rhythms)

The 2nd half will start a whole step above the 1st half (half-step between the 3rd and 4th notes).To play the high C move the 4U,finger with the entire hand a half-step away from B (about lllnohes).
