3rd and 5th Position String Builder – Viola

By Samuel Applebaum

Description

3rd and 5th Position String Builder is designed to be used after Book 3 of the Belwin String Builder series but can also serve as a continuation of any standard string class method. This book carefully guides students through learning third and fifth positions, introducing shifting techniques in a structured and progressive manner. The exercises focus on developing confidence in finger placement and smooth position changes, using engaging melodies and well-organized technical exercises.

This method includes duets that can be played by two students or divided into class groups, making it ideal for both private lessons and ensemble instruction. The musical material is thoughtfully selected for both technical progression and musical interest, ensuring an enjoyable and effective learning experience.

Performance Notes

Students will learn to identify and place each finger in the third and fifth positions before progressing to simple shifts using the same finger. The book then introduces shifts between these positions with different fingers, helping students build fluency and accuracy in position changes. The step-by-step approach ensures a smooth transition to more advanced string techniques.
