Every year, many young children learn to play the violin with the “Early Start on the Violin” method by Egon and Kurt Sassmannshaus. However even the youngest players enjoy trying their hand at playing together with others. In order to allow them to get a feel for rhythmic steadiness and playing in tune, the entire first volume of the Sassmannshaus violin method has been enhanced by a piano accompaniment. The piano part provides a harmonic background for each piece as well as an effective musical support for the young violinist. The accompaniment is easy to play and ideal for use by the violin teacher or a parent.
