Schott Fit In 15 Minutes: Warm-Ups and Essential Exercises for Violin - Bergmann - Violin - Book

Author: Benjamin Bergmann
Format: Softcover
Instrumentation: Violin
Level: Easy to Advanced

Fit in 15 Minutes is intended for occasional players who are very short of time and want to maintain and improve their violin technique in a concentrated and effective quarter of an hour. They can also be used at the beginning of a longer practice or rehearsal session.

As the technical precondition of beginners and professional violinists vary, each exercise is offered in three levels of progressive complexity:

• Level 1: Exercises for beginners
• Level 2: Exercises for advanced players
• Level 3: Exercises for tertiary students and professionals

The division in three levels provides didactic transparency. It is not meant to create boundaries, but serves as a stimulation to identify correlations, to polish basics or to conquer new technical challenges.
