Fiddle Time, by Kathy and David Blackwell, is an excellent series for beginning violinists. Packed with lively original tunes, well-known pieces, and easy duets, the series is carefully paced and organised to build confidence every step of the way.
Fiddle Time Joggers is a first book of easy pieces for violin, with open-string pieces and tunes using the finger pattern 0-1-2-3-4. There are well-known tunes and original pieces from rock to calypso using simple slurs and a few dynamics. Notice boards introduce new notes and rhythms, and there are also some easy duets to play. The accompanying CD provides performances of all the pieces.
