Géza Szilvay : Colourstrings Violin ABC: Handbook for Teachers and Parents

Colourstrings Violin ABC: Handbook for teachers and parents (revised edition 2018) guides with detailed, page to page structure through the Colourstrings Violin ABC books A, B, C, D, E & F and Yellow Pages I, II & III. Expert advice and methodological support to teaching in Colourstrings method is planned for both teachers and parents.

The method makes use of colourful teaching materials and supports learning by appealing to many senses. Founded on the principles of Zoltan Kodaly, Colourstrings ® develops the capacity for internal listening so that the child learns to visualize the notes heard and to aurilize the notes on the page. Colourstrings is the first violin method that makes use of natural harmonics in first position to teach the left hand optimal, relaxed position.

The method has been fostered by ESTA, ASTA, AUSTA, ISME, NMPU and IKS.
The Colourstrings® approach developed by the Szilvay brothers has gained an international reputation and is now taught all over the world. A number of special Colourstrings® institutions - schools, centres and societies - have been established in several European countries in order to implement and further this child-centred teaching concept.
