Scales For Viola-For several decades the 'Carl Flesch Scales System' for both violin and viola has been a central technical manual for aspiring advanced and professional players and teachers of these string instruments. However it has become increasingly clear that the 'system' needs upgrading for 21st Century applications and the opportunity has been taken to clarify the essential principles that Flesch outlines in his 'Art of Violin Playing' to which the Scale System was an explanatory and practise supplement.3 and 4 Octave Single-Stop Scales and Arpeggios Collated and Fingered by Mark Knight.

'Die fröhliche Viola' is a viola method for children which is aimed primarily at pupils who start to learn playing the viola without taking a detour to the violin. Those who have already played the violin and use the method as a 'way to change instruments' may skip some pieces or even start with Vol.2.Like 'Die fröhliche Violine' this book intends to make the children have fun while learning to play the viola. For this purpose a stylistically varied range of classical and folkloristic songs and instrumental pieces encourage music-making and small texts provide interesting information on the viola the music and its composers.The viola is used both as a solo and as anaccompanying instrument and the 'hearing' and 'counting' of middle and lower lines are specifically trained. Due to the fact that many songs and secondary parts are notated in the treble clef and thanks to examples for trio and quartet playing this book especially encourages ensemble playing with friends or within the family.

Maurice Hauchard (1870-1957) was a French violinist and composer. As a minor composer often in the shadow of his contemporary Maurice Ravel much of Hauchard's music is not widely known. However his Études Des Positions have enhanced the technical progression of many violinists and Alain Mames' transcription of the studies for Viola have also been well-received. As an excellent versatile musician Hauchard loved his art and remains one of the greatest contributors to music education. Études Des Positions (3rd Position) addresses the third handposition in the context of musical techniques such as intervals scales chromaticism and is studies of varying styles. Mames' adaption for the Viola of Hauchard's Études Des Positions is an imperative aid to technical progression.

Many violists have grown up on a diet of Violin studies transcribed for Viola and plenty have thrived on them even though the studies are in many cases composed with melodic patterns and fingerings that suit the Violin better than the Viola. Robin Ireland's aim in composing this new study material was to write specifically for the Viola in ways which suit it both technically and tonally.The twelve concert études set out to be musically attractive pieces which in addition to addressing most basic aspects of technique will encourage the development of 'musical' and expressive playing.The set of études is unusual perhaps unique in that it covers a rangeof styles and thus provides a focus for developing an understanding of bowing and articulation appropriate to different periods of music. The first eight études move through baroque classical and romantic styles while the later études include material for developing confidence with metre change and other basic rhythmic skills and with atonality. The last étude introduces an improvisatory style of playing.The concert études should be appropriate for Viola students from Grade 8 upwards. Details of a companion volume of 'technical' études and their availability can be found at www.robinireland.co.uk. These studies are each focused primarily on a single area of technical development in many cases an area not specifically addressed in currently available study material.The new études do not set out to provide a comprehensive alternative to existing study material but rather to complement it and extend its range.

Big Note/Large Print-Warm-ups for the Violist is an adaptation of Warm-ups for the Violinist. It is targeted to help build strengthen and develop the muscles and techniques needed for viola playing. It is especially suited and created for the morecasual violist who is sincerely interested in getting maximum benefit from a minimum of effort. I first tested these scales and exercises on myself for six months faithfully using them for about 20 minutes as warm-ups to my dailypractice. I was rewarded with a definite improvement in my technique. I was actually surprised to see my dexterity grow as I charted my metronomic progress on a calendar. I remember thinking 'I will never be able to play fasterthan this.' But then a couple of weeks later I would indeed climb a notch higher!Through the years I have used these exercises in countless workshops and with private students. The letters of thanks and positive feedback fromstudents who were thrilled with improved violin and fiddle technique have brought me great satisfaction. Progress with these exercises is like the progress of a body builder. Body builders do not get up in the morning and think 'I am going to develop and build my muscles today ' and instantly look like Mr. Atlas. It takes weeks months and for some years to attain results. It must be done over a period of time. Like all diets and exercise programs determination and dedication are most important to success! I sincerely believe that these exercises when faithfully practiced will help violists improve their skills. The exercises will help develop and strengthen muscles usedfor finger dexterity clarity of notes tone bowing-arm control intonation double stops and a flexible bowing-arm wrist. A companion audio play-along recording is available online.
