Description
Advanced Technique for Strings - Viola
Advanced Technique for Strings - Viola is Book 4 in Hal Leonard's Essential Elements for Strings progression. Written by Michael Allen, Robert Gillespie and Pamela Tellejohn Hayes, it is designed for advanced-level students ready for systematic scale, shifting, rhythm and bowing work.
Advanced Viola Technique in Four Core Areas
The book is organised around scales and arpeggios, shifting studies, rhythm and bowing studies, and musical styles. Three-octave major and minor scales, advanced positions, unison repertoire excerpts and interpretation studies help students connect technical work with orchestral playing.
