Zebra's Zoo of Old and New

Joschi Krüger's book promises a zooful of fun for young violinists. Next to traditional songs such as "Ein Mops kam in die Küche," the author presents original pieces for lessons and recitals such as "Mein Dackel im Bobbycar" and "Florian, der kleine Hase." All the tunes can be played in the first position. The accompaniments are original and varied, whereby the piano accompaniments are generally simple and those for the violin somewhat more demanding. Of course, all the songs should be sung as merrily and vigorously as possible: this was, and still is, their original purpose! The merry zoo is further enlivened with little assignments and exercises. And when it's time to go home, the best way to say goodbye to all the animals is with a rousing performance of "Zebra und seine Freunde."
