Off to a good start...

For more than three decades The Sassmannshaus Tradition has been one of the leading string methods for children in German-speaking countries. In fact, more than half a million players have successfully learned to play the violin, viola, and cello using this method. The Sassmannshaus Tradition for cello is now available in English and has been adapted, both in content and songs, for todays English-speaking children.

What makes this method so unique:

- Large print notes and texts as well as many colorful illustrations are ideal for pre-school as well as school children.
- Note reading is emphasized from the first lesson, encouraging ensemble playing from the very beginning.
- Songs and scales in different positions are easily mastered within the first year of playing to ensure that children are not confined to first position playing.
- Advanced cello techniques such as varied bow strokes and shifting are introduced in a basic form.

The Sassmannshaus Tradition ensures success on the cello!
