A String Method for Class or Individual Instruction.. Par JOHNSON SHEILA. Young Strings in Action is a two-volume course in the fundamentals of string playing. Its two volumes, covering the first two years of instruction, constitute a complete manual of new ideas and proven techniques, enabling teachers to present in clear and concise terms the basic musical and technical skills necessary to play a violin, viola, cello, or bass. The well-tested approach to string playing offers all students a unique opportunity to progress quickly, while at the same time strengthening and refining the basic fundamentals. Volume 1 emphasises total body movement and left arm mobility, helping students to acquire freedom of movement, correct positioning and playing facility. The all-important position and balance of the left hand is aided by early emphasis on the central fingers and their relation to the adjacent string. / Date parution : 2023-03-29/ Etude / Violon
