One Step At A Time Jennie Lou Klim

One Step At A Time is a five-part method of teaching the fundamentals of music on the viola. 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. The Teacher's Score includes piano accompaniments to all the music in VIOLA BOOK II of One Step at a Time, by Jennie Lou Klim. These parts were written, edited, and/or arranged by Harriett C. Miller, and designed to go from simple to more complex, following the progress of the student.
