Product Description
The audio sample is an excerpt from No. 7.
These 10 violin studies are relatively easy and fun to play. They are not just groups of notes put together. They can mostly be played in first position. There are some bowing and fingering indications where needed. Your download includes the violin studies and the piano scores.
*If you are purchasing this eBook on Sheet Music Plus or Sheet Music Direct, you can visit my website to download the free set of play-along mp3s. Visit blevinsmusic.com and find Violin Studies on the navigation menu.
Each study can be played alone, with an accompanist or with the optional piano play-along tracks. The mp3s were recorded in strict time, for ease of playing along. If you play the pieces alone or with a live accompanist, feel free to give them your own interpretations.
These studies help you practice your bowing, your rhythm, your note reading, fingering and scale evenness. Playing with the optional accompaniments helps you hear intonation and gives you experience playing in an ensemble, whether your partner is a live accompanist or just your mp3 player.
There are two mp3s available for each study:
1. A piano play-along track in a slower tempo;
2. The same piano play-along track, but more up-tempo, for when you have learned a piece, or want to challenge yourself.
Each study includes a piano cue at the beginning, so you know when to start playing if youre playing with a play-along track or with a pianist.
There are tempo guides on each study. These are for those using the play-along recordings. They match the "slower tempo" and more "up-tempo" versions of the play-along recordings. You can ignore these tempo guides if youre not playing with the mp3s.
The studies also include a suggested tempo range. Every study can be played faster or slower than indicated, at the discretion of the player.
