The melodies of Violin / Cello Rascals 2 make use of basic rhythm patterns and their combinations. Starting with the melodies of five notes, in the end the notes of major and natural minor scale are in use. Only easy fingering combinations are needed. Bowing technique is developed through the repeated changes of string, détaché being the principal bowing style used.

Violin / Cello Rascals 3 is designed to bring young violinists and cellists extra seasonal joy by adding to their repertoire of concert pieces to perform at Christmas. This volume concentrates on left-hand fingering technique, introducing the third finger pattern (third finger raised), giving a wealth of related exercises and making a wider use of flageolet notes (harmonics). Most of the melodies are folk songs widely know everywhere in Europe.
