Why is second position on the violin such a challenge for students, and even for many teachers and professional players? The answer is simple: we just don’t practise it enough.
We hope to change that with our new compilation! Ten second position studies—actually thirteen, including extra ones, arranged in progressive order to suit a wide range of students, from early learners to advanced players.
