The Possum Books
The Possum books, created by violin teacher and composer, Eugenie Teychenné, take young violinists on a musical adventure that will capture their imaginations and inspire them to practise.
The cover illustrations are colourful and have the appeal of a story book. The pages are clear and easy to read, and include witty cartoons. Lyrics assist in learning rhythmic patterns, and the CD piano backing tracks make practice time much more fun.
