Introducing the Positions for Violin Volume 1 by Harvey S. Whistler | Violin Method Book for Third and Fifth Position | Beginner Violin Technique and Shifting Exercises | Essential String Study Guide

Wonderfully useful book with a very enjoyable and methodical approach to positions. It's apparently an old book, but it sta zs the test of ti.e.

Incredibly effective book in my practice, maybe the most useful book yet. Exercises are short and practical. Not exciting but I'd have a concept down in about 1-2 days and the improvement was palpable, would give 6 stars if I could!

good

Love to use this when introducing new positions to violinists. It takes you through scale wise, then skips, then gives you exercises with added bowings/rhythms. Good build up!

Helps beginning violin students. Print quality is not updated, and is very poor.

You can use it basically.And teacher tell us you need to have it

This book will help improve violinist skills. It contains free fingerings for each position, notes/ advice for different pages, explaining the correct choices for shifting, scales for different keys, and after all these exercises, little tunes and pieces to practice in different positions. I love this and would recommend 😁

This was recommended to me by my violin teacher when I expressed an interest in learning positions up the fingerboard. I'm enjoying it.

This book will help you take that next step from 1st position to 3rd. Which ive been scared and putting off for a while.

Nice

good

L'étude de la 2° et 3° positions a été révolutionnée par MacKay avec ses exercices "mélodiques" et accompagnements piano Il me manquait une méthode spécifique pour la 5° Position: la méthode Van den velden comble partiellement ce vide, mais ne propose pas d'exercices mélodiques. Pour un prix modique de 7 euros, la méthode de Havey S whistler propose, en plus, des mélodies non seulement en 3°mais en 5° position; Par contre les explications sont en anglais ce qui peut gêner certaines personnes.

Since years I wanted to learn the 3rd position. I purchased this book and I find it just wonderful. I am getting addicted to it, since it introduces the position gradually for an amateur player like me and you see how you improve your skills together with the book. The shifting exercises and pieces are so excellent and selection of studies make much sense to me.
