Flying Fingers For Violin By Jennifer Thorp
Flying Fingers, written by Jenny Thorp, the author of A Flying Start for Strings, is an enjoyable and rigorous introduction to third and second positions for violin players. The book is designed to introduce students to these positions through carefully chosen tunes long enough to train technique effectively but short enough to keep students energized and encouraged.
The book teaches the new positions step-by-step, starting with simple shifts and progressing to more complex ones. By the end of the book, students will have a comprehensive understanding of the skills they need to play confidently in the first three positions.
Flying Fingers is suitable for any violin student ready to tackle shifting, whether learning new positions for the first time or brushing up on existing skills. The book's distinctive mix of approachability and rigour makes it an excellent resource for all violin players.
