  • TO THE STUDENT

    /

    Having completed the study of Book I, you should be thoroughly familiar with the fundamentaIs of violinplaying, such as a good position, correct use of the fingers when placing the left hand, and the elementary principiesof bow control.

    Book 11 includes a continuation of the eIementary material, presenting slightly more advanced exereises and.pieces. To be better able to play the familiar melodies and pieces, it is recommended that you prepare the purelytechnical exereises at the beginning of each lesson where a new key and finger-pIacing is introduced.

    Study carefully ,the diagrams introducing additional keys and fingerings when positioning your fingers for thenew notes. Remember that you must first read the note and then place the finger, so verify the note you are readingand the exact finger-position for that note. The surest way to pIay w~ll derives from the ability to read well.

    Foster the habit of quick thinking by assimilating the folk, Ning points ai first g!anct:(1) Name of Note (Natural, Sharp or FIat).(2) How to Play (Finger-Position and String).(8) How Long to Hold (Time-Value).

    Training your perceptive powers to respond in this manner will enhance your command of violin technique and,correspondingly, enlarge your musical horizon.

    Many of my pupils have formed groups which meet to play the duets, trios and quartets with piano, thus forminga little orchestra. Why don't you try it't-you'll have Iots of fun!

    TO THE TEACHERIn eompling Book 11, I have tried to carry out in slightly more advanced material the basic principIes of violin

    playing as laid down in Book I.The material has been selected and the grading edited to provide sequential progress as each step is mastered,

    Adequate preparation for the development of the student is allowed for, although the amount of purely technicaIwork has been kept to a minimum. This book is very largely made up of folksongs and other familiar melodies ofgood musical quality arranged in duet, trio and quartet forro. from which the pupil should aeheve a sound bowingstyle and firm grasp of finger-{intonation) technique. An awareness of musical form and harmonic structure stemsnaturally from the study of these pieces.

    The use of the piano accompaniment has proved of value both in the classroom and in the hom:e. That imporlantadvantages result from its use is eertain. The interest and ambition of the pupil is stimulated by the addition of theharmonic structure, which also serves as a guide to the p'roper placing of the fingers through hearing the note he isproducing in the harmony. The use of the piano part is recommended from the earliest stages so as to stimulatethe musical ear to a keen perception of modulations and hannonies, for which the violin, in that particular regard,is comparatively imperfect.

    I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. Edmund Schill, Director of Music. Verona, N.J., and to Mr.Francis Rice, Teacher of violin classes in East Orange. and Roselle Park, N.J., for their helpful suggestions andcriticisms in compiling this series of books.

    Studies for the use of the second finger in different positionsTwo new notes,C natural on the A stn..n.t a.nd G natural OD the E atring

    T'he itnportance of being able to read notes as well as you can read the Ietters of the alphabet cannot beoverestimated. This is the foundation on which your future progress dependa. Vou must a180 lmow the exactposton of your f'ngers on the fingerboard so as to be able to play any given notei for example, to pIay C#on the A strtng, the second finger Is placed a whole tone from the first (high postton) but to play C natural,the second finger Is placed close to the first (low poeton) T'herefore, the necessity of lmowing whether thenote s natural, sharp or fIat is perfectly obvious.Have a picture of the fingerboard 'in your mind in order to 8e6 where your fngers are placed for the different notes,Study the following diagram showing position of notes already studied and the two new notes to be takon
