Book excerpt: Colourstrings® Violin ABC is finally available in digital format! Violin Books A, B, C and D, Scales book 1, 2 and 3 and Kreutzerini are released as electronic publications. The Colourstrings® method uses a colour for each string and focuses on teaching children rhythm and technique on open strings while gradually introducing them to more complicated methods. Colourstrings® Violin ABC: Violin Book D is the fourth book in the Colourstrings Violin ABC series using the Colourstrings® method developed by Géza Szilvay. In the fourth book the pupil learns melodies in Major and minor keys. The D Book contains the appendix, which has been sold separately. About the Colourstrings® method: Colourstrings® is child-centred. The materials are colourful, stimulating and entice children to embark on musical adventures that will enable each of them to fulfil their musical potential through fun and creativity, without pressure. It is an extension of the Kodály philosophy: everything starts with singing to develop inner hearing. Central to the approach is the role of play and imagination – often the value of play can be overlooked in the rush to get on with the ‘real’ lesson.
