Bisher war es fast unmöglich, für Kinder ab fünf Jahren dieses Instrumente zu erlernen. Der Musikschullehrer Claus Freudenstein hatte die Idee, einen Minibass für Kinder zu entwickelen. Die hier vorliegende Sammlung wurde aus den langjährigen Unterrichtserfahrungen entwickelt und ist für Kinder ab 5 Jahren gedacht. Sie soll dem Schüler schon in der ersten Stunde sein Erfolgserlebnis bereiten, das sich dann mit jeder weiteren Stunde bzw. mit jedem weiteren Lied wiederholt. Die Sammlung versteht sich nicht als Schule, sonder als Ergänzung zur jeweiligen Unterrichtsmethode. Seit es E-Bässe für Kinder gibt, sind diese Stücke auch für den Unterricht mit Kindern am E-Bass geeignet. / Contrebasse

Because a fine orchestra depends on fine players, Solo Time for Strings emphasizes individual accomplishment, progress, and achievement while preparing young students for participation in a school orchestra. The series teaches reading in conjunction with note learning, enabling students to start playing melodies as soon as possible, and is appropriate for class or individual instruction. The solos assist in a progressive technical development from 'twinkle, twinkle' in Book 1 to music by Vivaldi in Book 5. / Contrebasse
