Tetrachord-based approach
Supports development of the viola left hand.

Independent shopping perspective
New Directions for Strings: Viola Book 1 is a viola method developed within a four-instrument string approach. Its material uses tetrachords to support development of the left hand, while the method is designed to integrate the string instruments evenly rather than treating the viola in isolation. Ensemble opportunities appear throughout the book, giving the viola part a place within shared string instruction as well as its own left-hand-focused work.
