Description: More Technique Takes Off! Violin by Mary Cohen A collection of duets and studies that offers intermediate violinists a way to improve their technique. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description More Technique Takes Off! is a collection of unaccompanied duets and studies offering intermediate violinists an imaginative and exciting way to improve their technique. Each piece focusses on a particular skill and together the studies provide a concentrated course in developing vibrato, double-stopping and shifting. Double-stopping pieces can be played both as a duet (for tuning purposes) and as a solo version with double stopping. In addition, practice and performance tips help to outline the musical goals and guide students on to the next stage."I have been meaning to write to say how much pleasure Technique Takes Off has given me and my students. Beautifully conceived, imaginative and great fun to teach. I have been using it at higher levels with more detail too. All power to your elbow!"

(Duet); Far Distant..(Solo); Catch (Duet) Review This is great stuff! I really like Mary Cohens teaching material, and whats more, so do my students. As usual her use of exciting violin techniques, combined with thought provoking titles, gets the student thinking and using their imaginations in these intermediate violin duets and studies to develop vibrato, shifting and double stopping. She explores vibrato, glissandi and long flowing bows in Asleep in the Hammock, pizzicato bowing and left hand pizzicato in On the Spot and the clever use of a pizzicato ostinato line A Passing Passacaglia duet. Lots of dynamics and bowing indications are given to keep the student on their toes and in the latter half of Clouds of Blossom she suggests you work out your own possibilities for fingering and dynamics. I especially like her suggestions at the beginning of each piece, which remind the student (or parent) what it was all about when they get home.European String Teachers Association, Winter 2006 Details ISBN0571524842 Language English ISBN-10 0571524842 ISBN-13 9780571524846 Media Book Format Paperback Short Title MORE TECHNIQUE TAKES OFF Pages 24 DEWEY 787 Author Mary Cohen Year 2006 UK Release Date 2006-04-06 Imprint Faber Music Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2006-04-06 NZ Release Date 2006-04-06 Publisher Faber Music Ltd Series Technique Takes Off Publication Date 2006-04-06 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
