Essentials For Strings – Viola

Description

Essentials for Strings – Viola is an excellent systematic and comprehensive approach to technical development for violists, for use in full string orchestras, string ensembles, or individual study. All studies are fingered specifically for viola. Features include a consistent rhythm counting system that develops excellent sight-reading skills, graphic “rhythm boxes” to show note relationships, and 18 pages of bowed rhythm studies. Technique studies cover scales, arpeggios, and broken thirds in one, two, and three octaves in every major and minor key, with rhythmic variations for all exercises. Eight basic bowing styles are clearly explained with countless bowing possibilities suggested. Intonation development is addressed through step-by-step procedures, tuning recommendations for all strings, and five four-part chorales to develop group intonation.
