Violin Book 5: More Bowing Techniques

Now the student learns ways to make the same notes sound different by using the bow more skillfully. Exactly how does one make a song sound quieter or louder, and at what point in the song?

This book covers how to do this, and introduces and explains those Italian terms found every where on music sheets, to help the student select the correct speeds.

Beginning elements of musicality are introduced, such as breathing, relaxed bow control, and in-depth mechanics on the mechanism of producing sound with stringed instruments.

The student learns so many new pieces that he/she is set up to play a wedding or two. Beethoven, Romance, Ode to Joy, Gypsy Love Song, Brahms Waltz, Bach March, Corelli Gavotte, etc. Add the wedding march, polish up the vibrato, rosin up the bow, and...

The clarity and simplicity of the pictures make The Violin Book a joy for anyone to use!
