Book Reviews of The Viola: Complete Guide for Teachers and Students
Book Review: Outstanding Resource!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a violinist, but picked up this book looking for tips on technique and practice. This book is as helpful and relevant for a violinist as it is for my Brothers of the Bow of the Alto persuasion. Well-written and amply illustrated, this is a must read for serious viola students and a strong recommendation for violinists as well. It covers everything from how to hold the instrument to bowing technique to reading music and even (to my horror) transferring from violin to viola! If you are a strings teacher and haven't read this book I urge you to look it over. I don't believe you'll be disappointed...I sure wasn't!
Summary of The Viola: Complete Guide for Teachers and Students
The second edition is extensively expanded in its graded lists of studies and solos, in its encyclopedic catalog of viola literature in print, and (perhaps most important) in its treatment of the musical and pedagogical aspects of teaching the viola. A work already unique has been augmented in all its major aspects. The excerpts that follow are from reviews of the out-of-print first edition.
