Product Description

A collection of 6 short studies for the student who is in the process of practicing shifting into 3rd position, written as duets to play with their teacher. I composed these for my own students and the inspiration for which kinds of shifts to practice in the studies comes from them (thanks ya'll!). Here follows a quick overview of the studies.

1. In Scale Motion : A simple study meant to familiarize the student with reading 3rd position fingerings on the low strings.
2. Shifting in Threes : This study focusses on shifting up and down in intervals of threes.
3. Flageolet : Mostly scale motion with a sharpened 4th finger in 3rd position and the use of the flageolet.
4. From the Open String : Using the open string as an opportunity to jump into 3rd position.
5. Big Jumps : Making the jump from low fingers in 1st position to higher fingers in 3rd position, and leaping to the flageolet from a low finger.
6. Virtuosity : Something for those who like a challenge and a reason to let their new skills be seen. This study features many shifts, jumps, and arpeggios all in one.

Your download will include the full score and a set of parts (17 pages total). Get in touch if you do these with your students! I'd love to hear about it :)
