Excercises for the Violin in Various Combinations of Double-Stops w/dvd

Features:

The most direct way to describe the essence of the concept and benefits of these exercises forthe aspiring violinist is to simply quote from Rachel Barton Pine and Dr. Roland Vamos:"Roland Vamos’s double-stop exercises fill avoid in the literature of technical exercises forviolinists and violists. Today there are manyclassic books with thirds, sixths, octaves, etc.,by such composers as Schradieck, sev?cik,Flesch, and Dounis. However, none of thesewonderful collections features a systematicseries of fixed double-stops that enables theaspiring violinist or violist to practice and masterevery possible combination of finger patternsacross two strings without shifting." Rachel Barton Pine"So what exactly do I hope the student thatcarefully studies these exercises will accomplish?Perhaps the most important accomplishment isthe development of a strong left hand that is setup so that the fingers rise and drop consistentlylanding on the same part of the finger. The firstjoint of each will hopefully develop strengthand flexibility while the thumb gently supportsthe side of the neck without tension. Theseexercises, when practiced slowly and carefully,should also help to develop a keen sense ofpitch and intonation." Dr. Roland Vamos
