Scales and scale studies for the viola-This is a scale book of unprecedented scope. Simon Fischer has developed an entirely new method in which using the traditional ways of practising scales only as a point of departure he focuses on numerous often-neglected aspects of the Violist’s technique. For every element he has designed exercises that sensitize the ear stimulate the mind and build the playing apparatus of the Violist. The many outstanding features of this book include: how to structure intonation around perfect intervals and leading notes a new approach to learning how to time shifts extensive notation for preparing and holding down fingersone- two- three- and four-octave scales and arpeggios two-octave scales and arpeggios on one string new sequences for single-finger scales Many well-known Fischer classics are also incorporated including practice methods for intonation smooth bowing string crossing fast fingers fourth-finger extensions and placing fingers in blocks. The innovative and wide-ranging material in Scales keeps the player turning the pages discovering yet more exciting ways to approach scales. The wealth of thought-provoking exercises encourages Violists to re-evaluate their practice – developing the playing skills of Violists at all levels from intermediate to professional.

Methode Progressive-An educationalist of renown Viola player Valérie Bime-Apparailly (born in 1962 in Bordeaux) is the author of numerous beginner methods for string instruments that have met with unflagging success. The second volume of the series Je Débute L’Alto once again takes up the challenge of the first collection: to combine precision with the pleasure of playing. To do this each chapter starts with a short sequence of exercises enabling pupils to approach the pieces with serenity and concentration. Reduced to their simplest expression the theoretical explanations are accompanied by sketches that enhance their clarity. Thealbum comes with a playback CD containing recordings of the different pieces. A relaxed eclecticism runs through the work: illustrious classics such as the Habanera from Carmen or the Variations sur “Ah ! Vous dirai-je Maman” (“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”) by Mozart can be found alongside Un éléphant ça trompe énormément and Rock’n’roll des Gallinacés. Education is an art form.
