Things to consider
Barber's scale books work best as targeted technique builders alongside your regular method; the young violinist solos progress logically from volume to volume, so starting with Volume 1 and working through sequentially gives students structured exposure to varied repertoire. The included CDs provide both performance models and accompaniment tracks, which is especially useful if you teach solo students without access to a pianist.
