Scaley Monsters - Violin

Scaley Monsters for Violin by Mary Cohen is a playful and engaging scale practice book designed for young violinists at the early elementary level (Grades 1–2). Each scale and arpeggio is paired with a "Dinosaur Footprint Map" to illustrate finger patterns, along with rhythmic variations and helpful tips. To reinforce learning, every scale is followed by a short solo piece in the same key, demonstrating how scales connect to real music. The book's colorful dinosaur-themed illustrations make practice fun and accessible for beginners
