Samuel Applebaum compiled a collection of melodies to help his students learn to play their instruments. These songs are arranged in a progressive order, starting from the first three notes that students learn and progressing to the end of level one in most method books. The melodies can be played as solos or in unison with other string instruments. Michael Katz produced an accompaniment CD with traditional, jazz, and rock styles to motivate students to practice and perform for their friends and family.
