Description

(String Method). Introducing the Positions , a series widely used in classroom and private studio, represents a critical "next step" for string students. Position playing allows players to extend range beyond the basics and move into the ranks of intermediate and advanced ensemble groups. The most important positions vary for each instrument, and Whistler wisely introduces the most-used positions first in Volume 1, followed by the next most important in Volume 2. An irreplaceable component for every string student's training! Read more

Wonderfully useful book with a very enjoyable and methodical approach to positions. It's apparently an old book, but it sta zs the test of ti.e.

This book will help improve violinist skills. It contains free fingerings for each position, notes/ advice for different pages, explaining the correct choices for shifting, scales for different keys, and after all these exercises, little tunes and pieces to practice in different positions. I love this and would recommend 😁 ... show more

    • Great book for students
Format: Paperback
Love to use this when introducing new positions to violinists. It takes you through scale wise, then skips, then gives you exercises with added bowings/rhythms. Good build up!

    • Good introductory book
Format: Paperback
Helps beginning violin students. Print quality is not updated, and is very poor.

Format: Paperback
Incredibly effective book in my practice, maybe the most useful book yet. Exercises are short and practical. Not exciting but I'd have a concept down in about 1-2 days and the improvement was palpable, would give 6 stars if I could!

    • Don't skip this step!
As I was working on s piece with some 3rd position, my teacher asked if I had ever been taught 3rd position. I had not, so he suggested we get going with this book. What a game changer! It took the toil and trouble out of learning it with structured, progressive lessons. Worth every minute and every penny! ... show more
