More about this title

Why we love this

This workbook cuts through the time trap that every string teacher faces: students who know how to play a note but can't reliably read it on the page or understand why their fingers land where they do. Janowsky's systematic approach to note reading and fingering logic means your lesson time focuses on musicianship instead of remedial reading work. The fact that he created parallel books across the entire ensemble makes it easy to keep your whole program aligned on the same problem-solving method.

Who it's for

Viola students in elementary strings programs and private study who need targeted work on reading and fingering fluency. Teachers using any mainstream method book will find these worksheets slot directly into their existing curriculum as a supplement.

How to use it

Assign worksheets between lessons as homework to build independent reading confidence without taking up rehearsal or lesson time on drill work. Use them during the first few weeks of study to establish strong note-reading habits before bad guessing becomes ingrained.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading notes on the viola staff with accuracy and speed
  • Understanding the relationship between fingering position and note location
  • Identifying notes across different registers and finger patterns
  • Reinforcing music literacy separate from instrument technique
