NEW COMPLETELY REVISED 2018 VERSION AVAILABLE! According to Geza Szilvay, the Colourstrings method can make a violin player of almost anyone with motivation. The key to maintaining musical culture lies with the teacher. The Colourstrings is a teaching method developed by Geza and Csaba Szilvay. The method is ideal for preschool beginners and can be used effectively in instrumental teaching throughout the school years. It creates an environment in which singing, playing games and instrument live side by side, for the happiness of the child. The Handbook for Teachers and Parents brings together the entire Colourstrings series for the violin. The Handbook guides the teachers and parents through books A-F and Yellow Pages I-III, offering expert advice and methodological support to teaching in Colourstrings(r) method. The method makes use of colourful teaching materials and supports learning by appealing to many senses. Founded on the principles of Zoltan Kodaly, Colourstrings develops the capacity for internal listening so that the child learns to visualize the notes heard and to aurilize the notes on the page. The method has been fostered by ESTA, ASTA, AUSTA, ISME, NMPU and IKS. The Colourstrings approach developed by the Szilvay brothers has gained an international reputation and is now taught all over the world. A number of special Colourstrings institutions - schools, centres and societies - have been established in several European countries in order to implement and further this child-centred teaching concept. Tama on englanninkielinen opettajan ja vanhempien opas. Suomenkielinen versio ilmestyy myohemmin.

Step Up! is a band section feature for beginning instrumental students. The work provides an excellent vehicle to showcase each instrument in the band, providing an ideal selection for recruiting assemblies, parent/grandparentas day programs and first concerts. Each section can stand for the solo feature, at the discretion of the director. If an instrument is not in an ensemble, then that portion of the piece can be omitted. Example: If there are no saxophones in the group, then omit mm. 31a43 and insert percussion (or hand claps) on the first two beats of m. 74. I suggest that if the glissando is to be played in m. 68 that it only be introduced once the students are secure performing the passage without the ornament.Step Up! is a band section feature for beginning instrumental students.

In 2011, Barbara Garrop, my mother, commissioned me to write a piano trio in memory of Norman Garrop, my father, who passed away about thirty years ago. When I started brainstorming about topics for the piece, I found it difficult to recall many moments of my early life involving my father. Too many years had passed, and the memories that I could summon were of achild looking up to her father, not an adult relating to an equal. However, while collecting stories of my father from various family members, along with discovering a number of objects that had once belonged to him and that I had stored away in boxes decades ago, I began to realize that this piece wasn't so much about my father as it was about my re-discovering the man that he was: a loving husband and dad who cared deeply about his family and his passions (which included bike riding, collecting coins, strumming our guitar, playing baseball, watching football games, entertaining people, helping to run local theater and puppet productions, and carving objects out of wook); an accountant who dreamed of a better future: a treasurer of our local synagogue; an early advocate for computers (we owned an Apple II+); and a pranster with a great sense of humor. Ultimately, I decided to musically tell the story of my search for these memories. In the first movement (Without), a child calls out in a sing-song voice, searching for her lost parent. This search intesifies over the course of the movement through a series of themes, including a stepping motif in which a two-note progression steadily climbs higher, a pseudo-jewish folksong, and a passionate longing theme. The child's search becomes increasingly intense throughout the movement, calling out fervently and repeatedly to the parent; the movement ends in a moment of great tnesion and uncertainty. The second movment (Within) quietly opens with the lost parent finally answering, represented by a solo cello; the child (now personified by the violin) has found the parent within the sanctuary of her own heart. This movement highlights the joy and solemnity of this beautiful discovery. -S.G.
