The most important aspect of the violin method 'Die frohliche Violine' is the fun of learning to play the violin: The textbook is aimed at an early playful beginning with the instrument. Over the course of the lessons, the pupils are deliberately addressed in a language that corresponds to their age. Furthermore, the method provides a stylistically varied range of classical and folkloristic instrumental pieces, and always gives a lot of interesting information on the music and its composers.Vol. 1: Detailed introduction to the bow hold - songs and instrumental pieces, using exclusively the first type of fingering while focussing on rhythmic, melodic and technical variety - playful touching and feeling of violin-playing techniques such as pizzicato, position playing, harmonics and double stops. Vol. 1 is accompanied by a CD (T 3272) containing all songs and pieces with funny dialogues spoken by children. A motivating addition to violin lessons and a great gift idea!

The volume G of the popular Colourstrings violin tutors by Geza Szilvay studies every position of the violin in a separate volume: G1 the second position, G2 the third position, G3 the fourth position, G4 the fifth position and the last one, G5, the high positions (sixth, seventh, eighth). These books form an all-embracing, rich collection of shifting exercises, position playing studies, excerpts from the literature, chamber music (mainly duos), and performing pieces, piano accompaniment offered as a separate publication (9790550116467). The extensive Book G2 - Third position (9790550115958) follows the key principles of Colourstrings methodology - the use of natural harmonics for instance - but it can be fully utilized also without any previous use or knowledge about the Colourstrings method. The performance pieces are a welcome enlargement in the syllabus. A separate collection, Colourstrings Violin ABC: Performing pieces for Violin in the First Three Positions (supplement for the book G2) (9790550116375), completes the carefully hand-picked repertoire from four centuries.
