Two little known Priestley plays; which; while they are quite different; have important features in common. The 31st of June is a comedy set partly in an advertising agency and partly in a medieval castle; Jenny Villiers is a serious play set backstage in an old provincial theatre. But both exploit elements of Time. In the 31st of June scenes switch between modern times and the middle ages; while characters move between both. There are kings; company bosses; princesses; fashion models; dwarves and two rival magicians. causing confusion and romance. Jenny Villiers examines life in the Theatre. The doubts of the present are confronted by players from the past; and a jaded playwright recovers his faith in the Theatre. Both plays were performed on the stage; but later rewritten and published as novels.

DurhamThe Suzuki repertoire is varied; interesting; pleasant to listen to; and fun to play. There are videos on Youtube to help me learn the pieces. Even though Im coming to violin as an adult learner; its great that this method isnt just for little kids. Im really enjoying this book.One thing i like is that there are specific challenges in each song. They have been carefully chosen to foster musical growth without overwhelming an young violinist. Im learning great techniques without anguish. I appreciate that; believe me!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great WorkbookBy ElleanaI play the violin. Yet; while I do know how to read notes and play them; I am inclined to playing by ear. However; I dont play the classics everyone knows and loves; but the popular songs that you hear on the radios top music station and get stuck in your head. Why? Because they get stuck in my head. But thats beside the point.I am in an ensemble; so I decided to get a nice; easy book to take a break with and to supplement my daily practice sessions. This is the revised edition; and I prefer this one the the previous version. The pieces are somewhat edited; and new bowings and exercises are added. The compositions included are clearly and largely written; which is pleasing the the eye. The pieces are great classics that you will probably be able to recognize. There are some great lessons and exercises thrown in there which will aid your playing; as well. There is also a glossory of musical terms in English; French; German; and Spanish; which has proved to be helpful on various occasions.Overall; I reccommend this practice violin book to any violinst who is going through the journey of learning on his or her own; student who wants to go beyond what school orchestra has to offer; or; like me; one who wants to supplement their daily playing. It suits my needs very nicely and I hope it does the same to you.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
