Joining the Dots offers violinists lots of material to help build confidence and skill in sight-reading. The series brings together a range of activities to help students improve their sense of fingerboard geography, helping them to read new music more quickly and easily. The five books cover the requirements for ABRSM's sight-reading tests at each of Grades 1 to 5, and include: * many short, characterful pieces to sight-read, in a range of approachable musical styles * warm-up and technical exercises, to establish finger patterns within each key * simple improvisation exercises in which students can explore musical ideas and familiarize themselves further with the 'feel' of each key * longer solo pieces and some duets and trios, for additional sight-reading practice or to learn quickly and play through for fun
