Jean Lenert’s Violin Method is a practical instrumental tutor that is the result of considerable teaching experience.
The different elements of instrumental performance are clearly explained and organized following a smooth and vast progression. Each lesson shares equally the study of the left and the right hands and enable new steps in the learning of the violinist’s gestures.
In two volumes, Jean Lenert’s method initiates, familiarizes and accustoms pupils to the keys of success, suppleness and ease in playing. A volume of 30 Preliminary Studies, written by Pierre Doukan, completes the work.
These three volumes make up ”The Young Violinist’s ABC”, an indispensable prelude to ”The School of Violin”.

The duets in this volume increase in difficulty: more advanced keys and rhythms are introduced and the musical demands are greater. The score format is used to encourage players to be aware of both parts. The duets cover a wide range of styles and introduce pupils to the music of different periods and countries. The two parts of are equal difficulty and the main melodies are shared between the players for equal interest.

A monumental undertaking, this translation of Carl Flesch’s essential The Art of Violin Playing, by Eric Rosenblith, was eagerly awaited by teachers and students of the violin throughout the English speaking world. Mr. Rosenblith, a student of Carl Flesch and for 25 years, chairman of the String Department at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, has provided a version of Flesch’s original ‘treatise’ that preserves all the essential basic concepts, but presents them in more contemporary and idiomatic English. Hand diagrams and a table for the consistent use of bowing and fingering symbols have been added. The range of material covered by this massive book is enormous: Body Posture, The Left Arm (positions & fingerings), Vibrato, Bowing (including all varieties of strokes), Tone Production, Musical Memory and much, much more. The range of musical examples is huge and covers excerpts from the works of all the master composers for the violin from Bach and Tartini to Suk and Reger. There is also a foreword by superstar-violinist, Anne-Sophie Mutter, that is a very heartfelt appreciation of the extraordinary position that Flesch and The Art of Violin Playing, Vol. 1 occupies in the education of string players.

Superstart Viola is a break-through for beginner violists, full of exciting music and fun activities from the very first lesson to inspire and stimulate pupils and teachers. Mary Cohen is one of Britain’s leading string teachers and this new edition is a distillation of her many years of teaching and research – a core method now in one book.
Complete viola technique is introduced from the start, providing a solid foundation and taking the player up to grade one level. Carefully structured, each unit covers a clear technical point through expertly written pieces, providing the student with a true musical experience at each tiny step. Mary takes an imaginative child-orientated approach throughout, encouraging interaction and the exploration of new sound worlds through a superb variety of music. The accompanying CD provides all the piano accompaniments, with unique cue entries to help beginners get started. A separate accompaniments book for viola  is also available.
For extra flexibility, most of the pieces in Superstart Violin, Superstart Viola and Superstart Cello book are compatible, making this a great resource for individual or group teaching.
