The Ivan Galamian string technique series presents an integrated and comprehensive approach to master the essential elements of string playing. Expanding on the principles of the master teacher’s Principles of Violin Playing and Teaching, this series has been adapted to the unique technical challenges and physical dimensions of each instrument with eminent co-authors (Violin: Frederick Neumann; Viola: Karen Olson; Violoncello: Hans Jorgen Jensen). These volumes systematically guide the student to establish agility and control of the left hand, to build important basic skills of the bow arm, and develop coordination between hands. A lifelong companion to the serious string player.
