Summary of This Method
Part of the Easy String Music collection by Boosey and Hawkes, this method directed and composed by Katherine and Hugh Colledge is aimed at string players in the learning process, as well as teachers seeking a clear and motivating resource. Designed to support a structured progression, the series is recognized for its pedagogical qualities: it gradually introduces new concepts while offering fingerings, notes, and rhythms designed to establish a reliable and lasting technique.
Shooting Stars is the fourth volume in the series and stands out as a varied compilation, particularly effective for strengthening left-hand agility and independence. The volume emphasizes the use of the second, third, and fourth fingers, a key stage for improving intonation, smooth fingering transitions, and position stability. Students will find pieces and exercises designed to develop solid reflexes while remaining accessible and enjoyable to play.
Throughout the pages, the student also assimilates new and more complex rhythms, promoting better sight-reading and more precise execution. Bowing work is also enriched through a diversified bowing technique, essential for gaining control over sound, articulation, and musicality. To complement learning both at home and in lessons, audio resources (demonstration and accompaniment) are available to guide interpretation and make practice more engaging.
