Accor ding to Geza Szilvay, the Colourstrings (r) method can make a violin player of almost anyone with motivation. The key to maintaining musical culture lies with the teacher. The Colourstrings (r) is a teaching method developed by Geza and Csaba Szilvay. Themethod is ideal for preschool beginners and can be used effectively in instrumental teaching throughout the school years. It createsan 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(r) 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 ofZoltan Kodaly, Colourstrings (r) 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(r) approach developed by the Szilvay brothers has gained an international reputation and is now taught all over the world. A number of special Colourstrings(r) institutions - schools, centres and societies - have been established in several European countries in order to implement and further this child-centred teaching concept.

Written for and dedicated to Peter Sheppard-Skærved. The world premiere was given on 26 November 2014 at King's Place, London. Written in 2014, this work focuses exclusively on a single note - the drone? This particular sonority, is on, is ubiquitously present throughout the piece; the music begins and ends with it, and its echo is felt even when the actual sound is not heard! But it is always there in the background and it serves as a nucleus with a gravitational sonic power, around which the identity of the music is displayed. The title alludes to the genre of capriccio, in terms ofboth its free formal design and the overall character of the music, which invariably consistsof rhythmic gestures with a high degree of virtuosity. And who better than its dedicatee, with whom I have collaborated for a number of years now, could give all these and much more! TS Duration: c. 8'.

About Suzuki Method

The Suzuki Method is based on the principle that all children possess ability and that this ability can be developed and enhanced through a nurturing environment. All children learn to speak their own language with relative ease and if the same natural learning process is applied in teaching other skills, these can be acquired as successfully. Suzuki referred to the process as the Mother Tongue Method and to the whole system of pedagogy as Talent Education. The important elements of the Suzuki approach to instrumental teaching include the following:an early start (aged 3-4 is normal in most countries); the importance of listening to music; learning to play before learning to read; -the involvement of the parent; a nurturing and positive learning environment; a high standard of teaching by trained teachers; the importance of producing a good sound in a balanced and natural way; core repertoire, used by Suzuki students across the world; social interaction with other children. Suzuki students from all over the world can communicate through the language of music.
