About this title

Synopsis

This intermediate level violin study book is designed for advancing students, dedicated learners, and teachers who want to strengthen shifting technique and fingerboard confidence. It is well suited for private instruction, conservatory study, and structured home practice, and is commonly used as part of a progressive violin curriculum.

What?s Included
This volume presents a focused collection of position changing studies paired with preparatory scale exercises. Written for solo violin, the material is presented in both English and German and emphasizes musical context rather than isolated drills. Each exercise places shifting within a clear tonal framework, supporting accurate intonation and controlled movement across the fingerboard.

The structured progression helps build confidence and technique while improving reading, coordination, and performance accuracy. By integrating musical phrasing with technical motion, the studies encourage mindful practice and efficient skill development. This book is widely regarded as a music teacher resource and is valued for its ability to motivate consistent practice through clearly organized, goal driven material.

Trusted by teachers, respected by students. Ideal for lessons, examinations, and long term technical development, this study book supports violinists as they transition into higher positions with security and musical awareness. It remains a reliable choice for serious students preparing for advanced repertoire, auditions, and classical performance settings.
