Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential Violin - Book 2 - Elementary | ABRSM Grade 1 | A Dozen A Day | Technical Exercises FOR THE VIOLIN to be done each day BEFORE practising. Most people would agree that it's a good idea to do exercises every morning before you go to work, and in the same way we should give our fingers, arms and wrists exercises every day BEFORE we start our violin practice. The purpose of this book is to help develop strong hands, flexible fingers and a good coordination of the body. Do not try to learn all the first dozen exercises the first week you study this book! Just learn two or three exercises and do them each day before practising. When these are mastered, add another, and then another, and then just keep on adding until the twelve can be played perfectly. When the first dozen or Chapter 1 has been mastered and perfected, Chapter 2 can be introduced in the same way.
