Franz Wohlfahrt

Easiest Elementary Method Op. 38

A superb Violin method intended simply and solely for children. Throughout this book, the more difficult keys have been excluded, neither being suitable for primary instruction. Franz Wohlfahrt thought it unnecessary to give directions for the position of the body, holding the violin and bow etc. , for any good teacher can explain such matters better than written directions, especially in the case of children.

The composer has purposely inserted several little pieces with accompaniments like those usually employed in dance music; their aim is not only to interest the pupil, but also to simulate his sense of rhythm.
