ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I dedicate this book to my family, my wife Nerise and to my only child, my little violinist 8etina. Special thanks also to Mr. Noel De Los U. Angeles for helping me in making this book look more presentable than it was when I composed it. Also to Mr. Rene Mari Yupangco in giving me the opportunity to share my ideas through the help of SOUND Publishing Corporation.
