Flying Fingersis a rigorous and enjoyable introduction to third and second positions from Jenny Thorp, author ofA Flying Start for Strings.

Introducing third and second positions for violin with enjoyable, carefully chosen tunes long enough to effectively train technique but short enough so that students don’t get bogged down or discouraged.

Learn a new position, then progress steadily 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 learning new positions for the first time or brushing up on existing skills.
