Category: FREE: Very Easy = Suzuki 1


Traducción al español

 

Cristina Andrea Quiroz is a Violin teacher (Suzuki method) trained at the Deutsche Suzuki Institut by Kerstin Wartberg, presenting us a piece from her book “El violiÌn de Emi” (“Emi’s Violin”), a compilation of Argentinean and Latin American children's and folk music, which the author adapted to the learning objectives of beginners in the Suzuki method.

This adaptation of the piece invites students from different levels to play and dance together. Students will be able to enrich and develop especially the sense of rhythm and coordination.

 

For younger students there are drawings made by the author, the vivace sound corresponds to stacatto, and the bell sound corresponds to the Detache, with a character representing each bow stroke and giving children the possibility to recognize and draw them in each piece, thus providing visual and emotional elements for a better understanding.
