TO THE TEACHER -- The primary purpose of this book is to teach the alphabet names of the notes and to promote fluent sight reading (not just of the notes, but of accurate rhythm, and an awareness of dynamics, articulation markings etc.) The object of the Kingdom of Stringdom Game is to reach King String's Castle. To do this, the student must complete his travel through each of the 4 "Stringdoms" of G, D, A & E on the Map by following the Clue Messages he receives from his teacher. Princess Treble Clef acts as the guide to the young violinist. At the end the student receives a Proclamation by King String, also a Certificate of Promotion to the Green Books (4th Year).
