School for Violin Technics – Henry Schradieck | Complete Books 1-3 and Scale Studies | Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics: Schirmer Library of Classics Volume 2090

Schradieck is "industry standard" violin instruction. Highly recommended. A little tedious to go through, but it teaches you about better, more relaxed left-hand positioning which is of course totally essential for improving skill.I find the chromatic scales particularly useful, and also introducing the higher finger positons (4th, 5th, 7th etc).

The studies are very catchy and interesting

I am professional violinist,and i recommend the schradieck school to any who want to improve:confidence of fingertechniquereaction ( both for fast playing and fast note reading )The quality of notes are much better than the one from imslp.

Fabulous if you want to torture yourself in this manner. Seriously, I do enjoy this stuff, it's a great book....

5 star for the book - my son is taught by Suzuki method, but I hire him teachers outside Suzuki during the school holidays. One of the teachers recommended Schradiek to help relax his left hand, which he hated then. A year later, whilst practicing Can Can as part of his chamber orchestra at school, he asked me to buy him Schradiek as he understood howmuch it helped him in past. Bingo!3 star for delivery though - it was packed in unnecessarily large box, and despite all the protective layers the book still came bent.

Delivered quickly and just what I need

a classic , you cant go wrong....although tedious and trying at times ( but aim an amateur!)

Amazing even for starters/beginners
