Description

These make learning fun and are easily incorporated into instrumental lessons, simultaneously developping the pupil's technical and musical abilities while reinforcing aspects of the school music curriculum.
Developed by leading string teachers, "The Essential String Method" provides a proven framework that draws on recognised concepts in good teaching practice, laying reliable foundations for future musical development.
