After the introduction with empty strings and the simplest note values, the "Rufterz" follows as a basic and orientation interval, particularly with regard to learning clean intonation. Using children's songs, all of which have lyrics so that the melody lines can always be understood as a whole, all fingers are gradually used in the first booklet and the first accidentals and note values are introduced, from whole notes to quavers. Special attention is paid to reading musical notation right from the start; in addition, simple string transitions and basic stroke types are practiced.
The booklet, which is designed to be particularly child-friendly with enlarged sheet music and enchanting color illustrations, comes with a sheet of music cards to cut out, which the little pupils can use to invent numerous laying and guessing games and later learn scales and note names.

The two booklets published by Egon Saßmannshaus, "Spielbuch für Streicher" (BA 9698) and "Weihnachtsspielbuch" (BA 9699), are suitable as a supplement and give even the youngest pupils the opportunity to try their hand at string ensemble playing.


The author
The school "Early Beginnings on the Viola" (Das Standardwerk für junge Streicher), published in 1976 by Egon Saßmannshaus, one of the most experienced and renowned violin teachers in Germany, quickly became the most popular and best-selling school for beginners in viola playing in German-speaking countries.

"Der Saßmannshaus" is one of the most thorough and well thought-out viola schools for beginners worldwide.
