Thomas D. Rossing String instruments are found in almost all
musical cultures. Bowed string instruments form the backbone of
symphony orchestras, and they are used widely as solo inst- ments
and in chamber music as well. Guitars are used universally in pop
music as well as in classical music. The piano is probably the most
versatile of all musical inst- ments, used widely not only in
ensemble with other musical instruments but also as a solo
instrument and to accompany solo instruments and the human voice.
In this book, various authors will discuss the science of plucked,
bowed, and hammered string instruments as well as their electronic
counterparts. We have tried to tell the fascinating story of
scienti?c research with a minimum of mathematics to maximize the
usefulness of the book to performers and instrument builders as
well as to students and researchers in musical acoustics.
Sometimes, however, it is dif?cult to "translate" ideas from the
exact mathematical language of science into words alone, so we
include some basic mathematical equations to express these ideas.
It is impossible to discuss all families of string instruments.
Some instruments have been researched much more than others.
Hopefully, the discussions in this book will help to encourage
further scienti?c research by both musicians and scientists alike.
1.1 A Brief History of the Science of String Instruments Quite a
number of good histories of acoustics have been written (Lindsay
1966, 1973; Hunt 1992; Beyer 1999), and these histories include
musical acoustics.

The Suzuki MethodA(R) of Talent Education is based on Dr. Shinichi
Suzuki's view that every child is born with ability, and that man
is the son of his environment. According to Dr. Suzuki, a

know comes from developing a child's potential so he/she can
express all that is harmonious and best in human beings. Students
are taught using the "mother-tongue" approach. Suzuki Cello School

(Vol. 1-8) * Cassettes (Vol. 1-3, 7, & 8 performed by Tsuyoshi

by Ron Leonard). Suzuki MethodA(R) Core Materials available for

The Step by Step series is a collection of exercise books/CDs for
violin based on the Mother-Tongue approach. From the very
beginning, it will provide a solid foundation in instrumental
technique for Suzuki and traditional approaches in private lessons
or group settings. The focus is on teaching correct,
child-appropriate practice habits that range from listening,
singing, and dancing to playing music. The ideas presented,
including information for parent and practice tips should stimulate
daily practice and also make it more effective. Includes new piano
arrangements by David Andruss. This volume is the Complete Version
based on Suzuki Violin School, Volume 3, and includes the Violin
Exercise Book in English with the CD. Pages: 60
