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!

{PRETITLE} Introducing the Positions for Violin: Volume 1 - Third and Fifth Position {POSTTITLE}

"Introducing The Positions, I" will be helpful for students striving to become more familiar with the third and fifth positions on the violin, with one important caveat that the melodic examples in the book do not use the shift in a musical way or in a manner that makes sense to violinists. Students should be warned and stick to the exercises in the book while complementing Whistler with well annotated musical studies (e.g., Kreutzer, Dancla, Dont). A book that introduces the positions (all positions) in a violinistic way is "The Green Violin: Theory, Ear Training, and Musicianship for Violinists" by M. Taris. I strongly recommend that book, in addition.

By Silver Pencil

Well illustrated and annotated version of position work for young violin students. We ordered this on the recommendation of a teacher and are quite pleased. There are adequate margins, headers and footers for making notes during lessons and adequate annotation to help students recall the necessary elements for practice. This is printed on very good quality stock with a resilient cover.
