Edited by Pejtsik, this collection is wonderful for students looking for music that stays within first position but offers a variety of rhythms. This book does not have any suggested fingerings which (with any luck) they don’t need! Playing “by number” isn’t a habit one wants to get into, so this is a book that challenges you in a familiar range of notes.
