  • Great book for students
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!

  • Very useful 👍🏽
I think this book will help improve violin skills. It have finger charts, notes/ advice for different pages and explaining the correction of shifting, scales of different keys, and after all these exercises, have little tunes and pieces to practice in different positions. I love this and would recommend 😁 ... show more

  • 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

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

  • Surprisingly interesting
At first, I was planning to put this away until I muster the energy to endure the necessary but "tedious" exercises. After skimming through it, though, I plan to incorporate it into daily practice as much as I can. It was presented clearly, and relatively simple to follow.

  • Great book introducing 3rd and 5th position.
I'm an adult returning to violin after 40 years and never learned 3rd and 5th positions. This book suits my needs perfectly with exercises and scales and some tunes using the 3rd and 5th positions. The book itself was published in 1944 and has never been updated, which some might find a bit jarring (tunes like Old Virginny and Swanee River are among those included) but the pedagogy is flawless. ... show more
