Following these changes the methods Suzuki, Estrelita or El system gain increasing importance and are widely disseminated. These methods are used for violin melodies from foreign countries that do not promote Portuguese culture in the teaching of music and therefore requires a greater effort in learning unfamiliarity of children in relation to melodies.
