The Hot Cross Buns Book uses fifty variations on Hot Cross Buns to teach basic finger patterns and rhythms on the viola. The book is especially useful as a training tool for very young beginners, with large notes and finger numbers. Viola teachers can use this book as a method supplement, giving their students ample material for learning notes and counting patterns. Students can learn at their own pace, progressing through the variations as quickly or as leisurely as they need to. This book can accompany The Open-String Book for Viola and Learning the Viola, and can be followed by The 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' Book for Viola.
