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.
