My First Technique Book

This collection of short technical exercises for beginners can be used alongside any violin school and aims to introduce young violinists to the world of violin technique for beginners in an enjoyable way. The audio files invite both listening and playing along.

Kerstin Wartberg, director of the German Suzuki Institute, presents imaginative, beautiful-sounding exercises that have been tried and tested over decades of teaching practice and provide young violin students with a solid foundation in instrumental technique. All pieces are accompanied by piano. With his sensitive, musical piano arrangements, pianist David Andruss has made a significant contribution to the fact that many children have already chosen these exercises as their "favourite pieces".

As the concentration span of children is often still quite short, the usually short practice time should be used as effectively as possible. This collection takes this idea into account - hardly any piece is longer than one minute - and combines it with ingenuity and the joy of making music.
