Description

Ear Training and Violin Playing is a significant work by two Austrian educators who were instrumental in introducing the Suzuki method to German-speaking regions. This concise book serves as a supplementary resource for Suzuki instructors, focusing on essential aspects such as posture, bow grip, instrument selection, and a detailed analysis of Book One of the Suzuki Violin School. Drawing from a decade of experience and rigorous study, the authors provide valuable insights throughout the text. They also address some variations from Suzuki's original teachings, including the integration of native songs, basic music theory, ear training, and the introduction of ensemble playing. The authors stress that early childhood musical education should always be approached with love and understanding, emphasizing the importance of a cohesive relationship among parents, students, and teachers.
