Publisher: Editio Musica Budapest

Violin Tutor for beginners using children’s and folksongs from all over the world.

Violin ABC is the perfect volume for pupils to familiarise themselves with the instrument, basic musical elements, and the sensation of moving naturally while playing. Its editors comprise renowned Hungarian experts in the field of violin pedagogy, and their aim was to create a publication that allows children to have a joyous first encounter with the violin. Violin ABC helps students learn to have calm, relaxed posture and movements through playful illustrations. That way, those who want to play the violin can get a worthwhile introduction to the basics of the violin repertoire through various folk songs and beautiful music examples.

The legendary violinist, Yehudi Menuhin (1916 – 1999), had this to say about the publication:

”I am delighted to see a work on the teaching of the violin stress the importance of the preparation of our body and limbs, of our minds and our soul, independently of the instrument itself. I have always said that, ideally, I would like the preparation to be so complete and thorough and enjoyable, that when a child first picks up a violin and a bow, it will draw a clean sound.”– Yehudi Menuhin (1916 – 1999)
