In a playful way, students learn the second and third fingerings in the first position, expand their melodic and ensemble playing skills, practise double stops, slurs and the portato bowing technique and deepen their knowledge of music theory. Children's songs, traditionals and canons, which sit alongside the classical works, encourage singing along and increase motivation.
