An approach based on self-learning and recognition of rhythmic and melodic patterns
* Original tunes rather than abstract sight-reading exercises
* 237 carefully graded pieces in a range of musical styles
* Nine sections ranging from open strings to extensions and slurs
* Each section concludes with a set of duets and accompanied pieces for practice of ensemble sight-reading
* Tunes progress to all key signatures up to four sharps and three flats
* Preliminary towards grade 4
