Strictly Strings – Violin – Book 2

Description

Strictly Strings – Violin, Book 2 acts as a gateway to true intermediate orchestral playing, building on the easy-to-teach, straightforward approach from three renowned pedagogues established in Book 1. The unique letter-note style of music notation continues to support confident reading as students advance to more complex musical challenges. Book 2 introduces three-part and four-part arrangements where students must hold their own harmony lines independently while listening to conflicting parts played around them. Violin players are forced to adjust to “low” and “high” finger placements that intentionally disrupt comfortable finger patterns, while the repertoire expands significantly into minor keys and musical modes such as E Dorian. Students must watch for unexpected accidentals rather than relying on muscle memory, and new bowing techniques including hooked bowings, linked dotted-rhythms, and more complex string crossings require advanced control over bow distribution, weight, and speed.
