One Step At A Time is a five-part method of teaching the fundamentals of music on the viola. It is written in a way that is logical, sequential, and easy to understand. The success of this approach is in its simplicity. The writing of this series is the culmination of many years of teaching, and is based on carefully considered pedagogical principles. The Teacher's Score includes piano accompaniments to all the music in VIOLA BOOK I. These parts were written, edited, and/or arranged by Harriett C. Miller, and designed to go from very simple to more complex, following the progress of the student. Included in this score is a suggested guide to a rote beginning with echo playing. The amount of time devoted to this rote beginning is left to the discretion of the teacher. There are no tempo markings, so the teacher can select the tempo best suited for each individual student.
