Description:
In contrast to other beginner violin methods, The Sassmannshaus Tradition progresses swiftly by introducing advanced violin techniques in rudimentary form, such as shifting and varied bow strokes. Note reading is emphasized from the first lesson � children are brought up to become proficient sight-readers and play in chamber music ensembles as early as possible.
The child-friendly and age-appropriate text underlying the music enables children to perceive melodies as a whole and to understand their singable qualities. Songs and scales in different positions are easily explained and mastered within the first year. This is an important advantage over methods that confine children to the first position for many years.
The method is suitable for single instruction as well as for group and class lessons and each volume contains comprehensive material and carefully calibrated learning curves. They keep children curious and interested for many months and years.
Note reading is introduced from the beginning, and accidentals are explained in the easiest way in this first volume. By the end, many English children�s songs - using all fingers - have been played and note values from whole to eighth notes have been introduced. Even the easiest exercises are underlaid with text so that melodies can be perceived as a whole.
The Portato Stroke.
The second volume presents classical violin duets. The child�s knowledge and technique is expanded by dotted rhythms, sixteenths notes, and first double stops. And here is the most revolutionary aspect of the method: different finger patterns can be connected and combined to create any major and minor scale without the use of open strings. This creates the ability to practice scales in any position, often within the first year of playing! With this skill, songs learned in first position are easily transposed to other keys and higher position. Coupled with beginning shifting exercises this sets a foundation for an early virtuoso technique not available in any other method.
The third volume in this terrific tutor series emphasizes duet playing in a great variety of keys and rhythms and musical styles. Different finger patterns and strokes are thoroughly practiced.
The fourth volume introduces various positions as well as new bowing techniques. These are practiced in increasingly demanding classical duets. From here students can embark on the journey of standard repertoire �Concerti such as Vivaldi, Accolay etc. are now within reach.
