The Colourstrings method by Géza and Csaba Szilvay
• develops the capacity for inner hearing using singing and relative solmization
• left-hand “numbered pizzicato” prepares all fingers for stopping motion
• makes use of natural harmonics to teach the left hand an optimal, relaxed position
• suitable also for group teaching

Based on Zoltán Kodály s philosophy, the Colourstrings method domesticates the instruments and the instrumental teaching to meet the child s need.

The standard stave system is reached step by step: it initially starts with no stave at all, then introduces the one-line and two-line staves, then the two-line system superimposed within a five-line stave, and finally, the full five-line stave.

Colours and visual presentation awaken and maintain interest and make the learning process easier, more enjoyable, deeper and longer-lasting. During 50 years of time, the ever-developing Colourstrings method has brought up hundreds of professional musicians of many generations.
