Fourth Position for the Violin by Cassia Harvey

This book teaches the fourth position on the violin through exercises and relevant short pieces, each designed to teach a specific concept. Useful as a step-by-step method for introducing the positions to a violin student in the least daunting way, this book can also be used by students who know fourth position but want to improve their shifting and intonation. With a systematic approach through the various finger spacing patterns and a focus on specific shifting techniques, Fourth Position for the Violin is a valuable addition to the violin teaching repertoire. This book can be studied along with G Major Shifting for the Violin and Serial Shifting for the Violin.
