It is a booklet for the very first beginning on the violin, for young players between the ages of 4/5 and approx. 10. A special feature of this booklet: the development of bowing technique, the development of the fingers of the left hand in connection with basic coordination and “making music” are given equal emphasis in this booklet. The clear structure of the booklet – the division into 44 teaching units – ensures transparent orientation.
The teaching units are divided into three sections.
The 88 pieces and songs have been carefully selected. The majority (56) have lyrics, so that a combination of rhythms, music, language and character of a piece is possible almost throughout. Many of the pieces are also suitable for performance at auditions and concerts. The pieces in the 3rd section of each unit present a range of different technical challenges, all of which can be used to promote musicality in a varied way right from the start.
The eBook is a file in PDF format, ideal for tablet and laptop. Corresponding ISBN 978-3-9824267-4-7
These tasks are additional suggestions for the pupils to deal creatively with the content themselves. For example, there are small composition tasks, tasks for inventing or combining (their own) rhythms, making their own “aids” for dividing the bow, etc. At the end of the booklet there is a “do it yourself” activity.
Basically it is for the first beginning on the violin. It can be used in different ways, e.g. as the first volume for playing in the 4th position (also: Beginning in the 4th position) and as a starter book if it is not yet clear which school work is to be used. However, it is particularly recommended as a companion book alongside other instructional guides, as it contains aspects that are not covered in other violin school books. The booklet can be used by pupils of all learning speeds.
