Violin - Beginning SKU: CH.CHP247 Composed by Cassia Harvey. Learning Violin Double Stops. This beginning violin double stop method book helps you prepare for Josephine Trott and Harvey Whistler. Book. C. Harvey Publications #CHP247. Published by C. Harvey Publications (CH.CHP247). ISBN 9780615971391. 8.5 x 11 inches.This is an exciting introduction to basic double stop playing on the violin. Using only first position and focusing on double stop sixths, the book is laid out in ten short sections. Exercises and short fiddle tunes are used to teach specific violin double stop techniques, such as reading two notes together, crossing strings to double stops, and finger spacing within the key of D major. As the book is studied, the student can learn how to hear the notes blend in double stops and work on a smooth tone from the bow. Double stops are also a great way to build finger strength, preparing the violinist for shifting and vibrato. This book works well alongside Playing in Keys for Violin, Book One, and can be followed by Double Stop Beginnings for the Violin, Book Two.
