Greetings!

Later on my father will comment on writings indicating that some =
"staccato"
teaching is to early in the book. Mr Gudmundur, the author, of the book =
said
it is a misunderstanding that he teaches "staccato" early in the book. =
He
says it would be to early. But like I said; he will comment further on =
this
later!=20

Hello,
Congratulations for the new method.
I looked at the examples from the book and I see that at page 5 (one of =
the
first lessons) the students are supposed to play seperate notes - or =
better
to call it staccato- I wonder what teachers think about such early =
staccato
teaching.
I usually teach staccato after several month of playing, depending on =
the
student.
