Flying Fingers for Violin

A tutor and resource book by Jennifer Thorp.

A Tuneful, methodical, comprehensive and friendly approach to 3rd and 2nd positions, for all ages.

Flying fingers is a tutor and resource book that introduces 3rd and 2nd positions with pleasant, carefully chosen tunes long enough to effectively train technique but short enough so that students don’t get bogged down and discouraged.

First learn to play in a new position, then progress from simple shifts to more complex ones, comprehensively covering the skills needed for able, confident playing in the first three positions.

The distinctive mix of approachability and rigour makes Flying Fingers suitable for any violin student ready to tackle shifting, whether they are learning new positions for the first time or brushing up on existing skills.
