Dear Violin and Viola playersWelcome to the comprehensive collection of the Decoding the Violin series, where each book is a dedicated exploration of essential aspects of violin playing. This omnibus combines five distinct volumes, each offering valuable insights and exercises for violinists at various stages of their musical journey.
Vol.1 Master Shifting
In this initial volume, the focus is on mastering the mechanisms of shifting and gaining the ability to play easily in all positions on the violin and viola. The author, drawing from personal experiences and a deep understanding of shifting techniques, presents an alternative approach to naming violin positions. The exercises provided, while minimal in quantity, aim to instill fundamental techniques for shifting, leading to a transformation in playing and overall confidence. Vol.2 Master Positions
Building upon the foundation laid in the first book, this guide delves into playing confidently in all violin positions, from the 1st to the 7th. The material emphasizes the importance of smooth shifts and proper finger spacings, preparing players for the challenges posed by higher positions. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced player, this book provides valuable insights into mastering positions along the fingerboard. Vol.3 Master Sound Production
Exploring the subjective and objective qualities of a great sound, this volume places a special emphasis on tone production with the bow. Regardless of your skill level, the tools presented here aim to enhance your expressive bowing technique. By focusing on variables that influence tone production, this book provides valuable tips and concepts to upgrade your bowing technique and daily warm-up routine. Vol.4 Master Articulation
Comparing speech with music, this volume emphasizes the importance of articulation and phrasing in violin playing. The exercises focus on rhythmic variations for scales and broken chords, encouraging players to approach them as musical phrases rather than mere mechanical practice material. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced player, these exercises contribute to the synchronization of the right and left hands, leading to a higher level of musicianship. Vol.5 Master Intonation
The final volume in the series explores the challenging yet rewarding realm of double stops. By focusing on the development of intonation, these exercises aim to strengthen the connection between the mind, ears, and hands. Practicing double stops not only refines intonation but also trains the ear to adapt to various playing situations. The material presented here offers a pathway to achieving perfect intonation and great musicianship. As you embark on this comprehensive journey through the Decoding the Violin series, may these collective insights and exercises contribute to your growth as a violinist. Whether you are refining your shifting techniques, mastering different positions, enhancing your bowing technique, perfecting articulation, or delving into the intricacies of double stops, each book in this omnibus is designed to elevate your playing and overall confidence. Enjoy the exploration, and may your musical journey be filled with joy and continuous improvement.
Happy practicing!
