Egbert's Uncle Fred is off on a trip round the world. After a while postcards start arrivng from far-off lands, each with a special "musical friend" for Egbert and his violin, and a mysterious coded message

Postcards to Egbert introduces absolute beginner violinists to the rudiments of good technique, particularly the development of a strong sense of rhythm. All these mini-pieces use open strings only: simple but imaginative piano accompaniments contribute to the young pupil's confidence and sense of achievement

Mary Cohen' lively and stimulating approach will capure and hold the attention of even the most reluctant beginner.
