Violin Method for Beginners, in its general basic teaching plan and pedagogic principles, differs to a very considerable extent from all existing works of similar purpose. It presents an entirely different plan of study which, in the main, is based upon Professor Leopold Auer’s unconventional teaching principles. This method was developed around one of Auer’s most important principles—to combine purely technical with musical needs at all times—by providing a liberal, progressive amount of technical material and relieving it with melodious little pieces designed to interest the pupil and accustom his ear to pleasing and gratifying musical impressions from the very start.
