Thecheerful violin is a textbook that puts playful learning in the foreground. In this way it is easier for children to follow the lessons and to internalize the material in the long term. With a selection of playing pieces and all kinds of interesting facts about the musical instrument, its history and well-known composers, knowledge is imparted in an age-appropriate way.
