- 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.
- Note reading is emphazised from the first lesson – children are brought up to become proficient sight-readers and play in chamber music
ensembles as early as possible.
- 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.
- Ensemble playing is encouraged from the very beginning.
- The method is suitable for single instruction as well as for group and class lessons.
- The large print notes and text as well as many colorful illustrations are particularly child-friendly and very attractive to pre-school children
and school children alike.
- All violin techniques used are demonstrated and explained on the web site www.violinmasterclass.com.
- The substantial volumes (64 pages for volumes 1 and 2, 72 pages for volumes 3 and 4) contain comprehensive material and carefully
calibrated learning curves. They keep children curious and interested for many months and years.
