Practise early - but how? Christine Löhr has developed a creative and colourful method to teach pre-school children how to play the cello using images and ideas that are already alive in the children as emotional and physical knowledge. All the senses are used, with fruit varieties, colours and animals, which not only make learning easier for the young children, but also encourage them to enjoy playing the instrument. The first step for the cello is a travel guide that takes teachers and students on a journey to the wonderful land of sound. On 72 colourful, illustrated pages, there are twelve stops to make and discover. From simply plucking the strings to using the bow to learning musical notation. Familiar and new songs and rhymes are fun and at the same time encourage interaction between teacher and student.
