ISBN 979-0-55009-545-8. The three Yellow Pages books offer pedagogical material to violin teachers and their students in order to develop the feeling of pulse, to assist the mastering of all rhythms and their combinations, to help build basic knowledge on ornaments and to create a solid basis for virtuosic bow technique. In order to realise these goals, the Yellow Pages provide a large variety of pedagogical material for each subject from which the teacher can choose the most appropriate pieces to meet the needs and expectations of each individual pupil. All new concepts are introduced in first position using only the most comfortable finger patterns. This simplicity of the left hand will enable the child (and the teacher) to concentrate on movements of the bowing hand. The chapters are architecturally similar to the chapters of Violin ABC volumes E F: Introduction - Etudes - Folk Music - Excerpts from the Literature - Chamber Music - Performance Pieces. Yellow Pages and Volumes E F complement each other because the Yellow Pages' main concern is right hand technique, while the latter develops left hand skills. Because of this dual function, it is advised that teachers use the Yellow Pages at the same time as Volumes E F. The use of these books is not restricted to teachers and pupils who are working in line with the Colourstrings philosophy: any violin teacher may benefit from the remedial repertoire of this school.
