New Skills - Practice Book by Evelyn Avsharian - Digital Download

New Skills emphasizes the changing finger 2 positions – natural, near finger 1, and Sharp, near finger 3. To add zest to this work, fun techniques are featured: pizzicato, double stops, harmonics, triplets, etc. Slurs, staccato, and dynamics are possible variations to be added by student or teacher. Each of the 20 short pieces has a workbook-style activity below it, and is to be examined for low and high second fingers, read through by note names, and clapped before it is played. The print is smaller than Evelyn AvSharian’s classic oversized notation, but it is still much larger than standard engraving, making it easier to read and focus on. 20 pages.
