Product description

This two-part school for violin is destined for beginners. It doesn´t require the ability of reading and therefore can also be used for younger children. Tha main goal is to develop musical feeling and that is why even the technical excercises are usually of melodical nature. There are many national songs that are often accompanied by a seond violin (also could be a piano).

Josef Micka (1903 - 1993) is one of the outstanding personalities of Czech violin pedagogy. He studied violin at the Prague Conservatoire and thanks to a scholarship he was able to study for another year at the École de musique in Paris. This stay was also very stimulating for his pedagogical activity, which in time became his main focus in life. After his return, he studied musicology and psychology at Charles University, and from 1939 he was a professor at the Prague Conservatoire, and in 1946-48 also at the Prague Academy of Performing Arts. Josef Micka is the author of many publications and articles on violin issues, the most famous and important of which are the methodical work "Playing the Violin" and "Violin School for Beginners", on which he worked with his daughter Magdalena Micka.
