The leading German viola method now available in English. For more than three decades the Sassmannshaus Tradition has been the household name for excellence in beginner string methods in German-speaking countries. More than half a million students have successfully learned to play string instruments using this publication. The publication of the four violin books in 2008 in a fully adapted English version has been a big success. On the back of this success story Brenreiter published the four books for cello in 2009 and now presents the four books for viola in a newly adapted version for today's English speaking children.
