A superb resource for the self taught fiddler. These exercises have helped me improve my technique more than any others that I've used. These really are etudes, i.e. little pieces of actual music that concentrate on bits of technique. Playing music versus scales demands more from the bow arm, so one ends up working through the technique in a manner conducive to actually applying the technique musically.. Every violinist should have this book! Arthus I'm a lapsed violinist (played from age 8-18, then recently started again at age 28) and I bought this book based on my the positive reviews. Turns out it is the exact one my new violin teacher uses! This is a great way to practice your technique. Each piece has something different that you will work on and there are numerous bowings to practice for each one. Plus with books 1 and 2 together in one edition, this is a STEAL!. Great book, not for beginners hey__tica I have been playing the piano for over 20 years and recently decided to give the violin a try. I can tell the exercises are great, HOWEVER, these are not for pure beginners. There are a lot of basics you need to cover just for the sake of muscle memory training (if for nothing else - the theory behind it is not difficult it just takes practice). I'm keeping it because some day I hope to be at this level just not now.
