This is an awesome resource for the violist that has violin students -  now you can play duos with your violin students on your viola! This book includes the first twelve songs in Suzuki volume one as well as nine additional folk songs! (Camptown Races, Danny Boy, Way Down Upon the Swanee River etc.) There are three verses of difficulty for the violist (easy, medium and hard) and keys chosen are those that lie well for the violin.

Also great for violin/viola siblings and friends that desire to play fun, familiar pieces at ANY level of difficulty.
Check out the other Folk Song Melody books with the same titles: Folk Song Melodies for (1) Violin Ensemble (2) Viola Ensemble and (3) Viola (Melody) and Violin (Harmony).
