With his cabaret partner, Hyung-ki Joo, he has toured concert halls all over the world, wringing all that is humorous out of classical music with just the basic tools of violin and piano. In my Garden 1 shows Igudesman in another light, that of a violin teacher, providing excellent material for younger violin students. Each piece depicts a fruit or vegetable to be found growing in the garden and includes a short poem (in English, French and German) and pictures to inspire the pupil and help them to interpret the music.\u003cbr\u003eBut these are not just fun to play; they conceal useful study material to improve technique like staccato or lyrical smooth bowing. Clever use of double stops (one note always an open string) will help the student make a more rewarding sound and inspire confidence. Grade 1  students can enjoy some of the pieces and still be dipping into it a year or two later. A piano part is included to make these pieces ideal for an end-of-term concert and, for more ideas, Igudesman has also depicted animals in similar fashion in his two volumes In the Zoo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51924324745501,"sku":"UE37200","price":67.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/UE37200.jpg?v=1782295541","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/igudesman-in-my-garden-vol-1-violin-piano-universal-edition","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
