The Colourstrings Association (Colourstrings ry) was founded in 2009 in Helsinki, Finland. It is devoted to the the Colourstrings© methodology, the internationally established and successful string teaching method developed at the East-Helsinki Music Institute, by Géza and Csaba Szilvay. 

 

To keep up a consistent high standard of teaching, the association has developed a three step teacher training system with the unique Colourstrings Certification, awarded at each step of achievement.

The highly experienced teachers of the association’s board have gained their own education, directly from the founder of the Colourstrings© methodology Géza Szilvay.

The association’s main purpose is to organize, facilitate and co-ordinate Colourstrings© Teacher Training courses, and lectures in co-operation with various partner organizations around the world.
