Colourstrings
With a few exceptions, the songs in this book are introduced in positions
where the melody can be played with natural harmonics. Playing the melodies
with natural harmonics before using stopped fingering is of great benefit to
the student to develop correct intonation. Playing melodies in harmonics is
also very useful to help develop a good bowing style and clarity of sound.
Before playing the melodies in the first (I) position, they should first be
taught in the fourth (IV) position as this is a more natural position where
the thumb is relaxed, fingers visible, and the stretch easier for a small
hand. In Book B the student can play in 55 different places on the
fingerboard, and in book C these ideas are further developed. In Book D the
student will be fascinated to discover even more possibilities to transpose
the beautiful melodies from all over the world.
