One Step At A Time is a five-part method of teaching the fundamentals of music on the violin. It is written in a way that is logical, sequential, and easy to understand. The success of this approach is in its simplicity. The writing of this series is the culmination of many years of teaching, and is based on carefully considered pedagogical principles. Book IV is a sequel to Books I, II, and III, continuing with intermediate melodious tunes and technical exercises using THE THREE-FOUR and TRI-TONE FINGER PATTERNS. As with the first three books, the fundamental concepts are introduced on uncluttered pages. In this book, students play in all keys, still focusing on finger patterns, and not letter names or sharps and flats. I am grateful to my violinist daughter, Amy Harris Jevitt, who guided me when I was challenged to find the most logical pathway through the keys, and gave me her invaluable opinion in regard to pedagogical issues; and to my husband, Paul, for his endless hours of proofreading the multiple revisions as the series evolved. His total support and understanding made it possible to complete One Step At A Time.
