Basics - Simon Fisher, recomended by The Strad
300 Exercises and practice routines for the violin. 'Basics' is a collection of practice methods and exercises, and belongs on the music stand, not on the bookshelf. It can be used by players of all standards, from concert violinists to students. Much of the material is also suitable for teaching elementary players.
Each exercise is desinged to achieve the maximum possible result in the least possible time. Some are very short and need to be done only once or twice to explore a particular aspect of tecnique. Others are pracice routines or warm-up exercises that can be returned to regularly.
Basics is not a book to play through from cover to cover (though, for easy reference, the exercises are numbered sequentially throughout). Everybody's needs are different, and there is little point in practising aything that does not need to be practised. The book is invaluable, however, in its presentation of the most effective technical work in a single volume, making it possible to work directly on any aspect of technique that needs attention. Based on the author's successful monthly series in "The Strad' magazine. Basics is the most comprehensive collection of practice material available for today's violinsts.

Children's Fiddling Method Volume 1 - Carol Ann Wheeler
As both a championship fiddler and superb teacher, Carol Ann Wheeler brings all her talents to bear in this fiddling book written especially for young children. Students raised in the Suzuki tradition will immediately take to the method, concepts, and techniques used in this book and play-along CDs. Common folk songs familiar to the student are used to demonstrate and teach the basic skill of oldtime fiddle playing. All melodies are first presented in their simplest form followed by more complex variations with introductions, ornaments, and endings. Students of all levels will find challenging material in this book. Younger students can proceed at their own pace, returning to the more difficult variations at a future time. On the 2-CD set, each tune is recorded in split-track format, allowing the student to play with solo violin, guitar accompaniment or both.
Ref 30051: Price 27,50 EUR

Children's Fiddling Method Volume 2 - Carol Ann Wheeler
This volume builds on the techniques explained in Children's Fiddling Method Volume 1. While created with children in mind, this book is equally well suited for adults, violinists, and string teachers. What sets this method apart from others is that the tunes will first be played slowly, unaccompanied, so that you can hear the notes and how the tune goes. Then, an arrangement follows which is more up to tempo with backup. All of the tunes will be broken down into parts for easier learning, and new fiddling techniques will be explained as they are introduced. Often, different versions will be offered for the same tune, providing variety and a way to learn more concepts, skills, and ideas that can be used in other tunes. The goal is to play along with the two included CDs. Special features of this volume are some optional twin fiddle parts and tips on twin fiddling. These pieces are great for teachers to use with students or for students to play with friends.

Methode Van De 21ste Eeuw voor Viool Deel 1 - Frank Glaser & Guido Jansen
Methode voor viool, het eerste deel van deze methode bestaat uit 56 stukken met CD-begeleiding, variërend van klassiek tot house. Veel stukken scheppen een sprookjesachtige sfeer. De leerling komt hierbij onder meer in aanraking met heksen, robotten en betoverende wezens. Door de grote verscheidenheid aan muziekstijlen maakt de leerling kennis met stromingen die kenmerkend zijn voor de verschillende muziekperiodes. De methode bestaat voor een deel uit duetten (met CD-begeleiding). De tweede stem is telkens gelijkwaardig aan de eerste stem en volgt als zodanig eveneens de methodische ontwikkeling. De duetten zijn dusdanig gecomponeerd dat voor het tot klinken brengen van de muziek echter ook de eerste stem (met CD) kan worden gespeeld.

Practice - Simon Fisher
Violin method, the music examples in Practice drawn from the standard solo violin repertoire, illustrate typical musical and technical demands that arise during the normal course of playing. By learning how to practise one passage, you learn how to practise other passages of the same type. With more than 750 music examples (chosen from over 100 works) and over 100 photographs, Practice is packed with ideas and information to help you get the very most out of every minute that you practise. Some of the practice methods are ways of solving problems, some are ways to finding out what the problems actually are. So often we know that something is not quite right, but we do not know why. Some are ways of trying to cause yourself problems, so that afterwards what you actually have to do feels easier. Some practice methods build and improve technique at the same time as making a specific passage easier to play. Then all other passages of that type take less time to learn because they feel easier to play in the first place. Practice is intended just as much for the teacher as for the player. It offers a wide range of answers to the musical and technical problems that students typically present, and adds to any teacher's library of practice methods that they pass on their students. 336 pp.
