An irreplaceable component for every string student's training!
"Great for Starting Out in Higher Positions" according to Dee N. If you're starting out learning third position, as I am, this is just your speed. It starts out very easy, then gets progressively more difficult. I'm still in the beginning of the book, so can't comment on the later sections, but I'm enjoying the pieces, switching back and forth between playing them in first and third positions to see how much easier it can be in the hig. Great Exercises in Positions Poodytat GGrGreat studies for improving facility with these positions. There are also some good melodies to practice.. Serious students No better way to really learn all the positions. Very thorough, will separate the serious students from the lightweights. Has lots of shifting exercises that I really appreciate.
