Description:
This edition consists of the English booklet BA 9676 and a supplement containing French translations of all text sections.
Please also see the German edition of this booklet: BA 9671.
After an introduction featuring open strings and the simplest note values, the "Rufterz" is introduced as a fundamental and orienting interval, particularly with a view to learning clean intonation. Using children’s songs—all of which include lyrics so that the melodic lines can always be understood in their entirety—the first booklet gradually introduces all fingers and note values ranging from whole notes to eighth notes. From the very beginning, special emphasis is placed on reading musical notation; in addition, simple string crossovers and basic bowing techniques are practiced.
The book, which is designed to be particularly child-friendly with enlarged musical notation and enchanting colorful illustrations, includes a sheet of cut-out note cards that young students can use to invent numerous matching and guessing games and, later on, to learn scales and note names.
As a companion volume, we recommend the first volume of the "Violin Recital Album"" (BA 9668), edited by Kurt and Christoph Sassmannshaus and Melissa Lusk, is an ideal companion volume. It includes 20 pieces in first position with piano accompaniment and an alternative second violin part, allowing young students to showcase their progress in student recitals. The two booklets edited by Egon Saßmannshaus, "Playbook for Strings" (BA 9698) and "Christmas Playbook" (BA 9699), give even the youngest students the opportunity to try their hand at playing in a string ensemble.
A complete piano accompaniment is available for the first volume of the violin method. (BA 10751)
The piano part for each piece serves as a harmonic backdrop: it supports the violinist while leaving them ample room to shine. The piano accompaniment is easy to play—for example, by the violin teacher or a parent.

The first volume of "Early Start on the Violin" introduces note reading, note values, and accidentals in a way that is appropriate for young children. Various bowing techniques and the use of the left hand are introduced using well-known children’s songs. The use of various left-hand patterns is one of the most important aspects of the second volume. This technique effectively lays the necessary foundation for early virtuosity.
