Van Elst: Play Violin! 2

Van Elst: Play Violin! 2 directly follows the first volume of Jaap van Elst's Dutch violin method. Suitable for individual and group lessons, the method combines technical development with plenty of enjoyment, clear instructions, and online audio.

In 24 structured lessons, students continue to build their violin technique. New topics include the third and fourth finger positions, third position, simple position shifts, major and minor third scales, and triads. Bowing techniques such as staccato, portato, and an introduction to spiccato are also covered.

Additionally, this volume addresses vibrato, syncopation, triplets, double stops, playing while seated, harmonics, and various musical indications. Intonation, rhythm, and play-along exercises are interspersed with familiar and new pieces, duets, assignments, and games. The online audio supports independent practice and aids with timing, intonation, and musical ensemble playing.

A sudoku puzzle and background information about the violin provide extra variety. The separately available piano accompaniments also make it possible to perform the pieces with piano.
