• To practise shifting from 1st to 3rd position with the 1st finger, using the Release, Glide, and Press (RGP) technique as shown in Diagram 1.

• To learn the note names in 3rd position, remembering that there is a B natural.

• To practise sight-reading in 1st and 3rd position.

• To practise playing from memory

• Listen carefully to the ‘ghost’ note when shifting (the sound the finger makes when lightly gliding between 1st and 3rd position) and only press down on the string when you can hear the correct pitch of the new note.

• Without using the bow, hold the violin and place the fingers on the fingerboard while saying the note names aloud in 3rd position. Finger Chart 1 can help you identify whether fingers are a tone or a semitone apart.

• Can shift using the RGP technique.

• Listens to the ‘ghost’ note while gliding the finger up or down the string.

• Student shifts using the whole hand, and the thumb always remains opposite the pointer finger.

• Can play from memory.

• Poco rall . . . stands for poco rallentando which means gradually becoming a little slower.

• A dot preceding a note lengthens it by half of its value. i.e. a dotted minim lasts for a minim plus a crotchet (3 crotchet beats in total).

1st finger shifting without accidentals

poco rall

Release the finger pressure from the string

Glide the whole hand (thumb included) along the neck/fingerboard of the violin. The shifting finger will ‘ghost’ its way

up the string as it lightly touches the string while shifting.

Press the finger down once it has arrived on the new note.

Shifting is when you move your whole left hand up or down the fingerboard in order to

change notes. In Book 1 every piece only used the 1st

position. In Book 2 you will learn how play in 2nd and 3rd position.

The RGP technique helps you to move between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd position.

Try playing Kayaking down the Tarwin while reading the music.

Then, when you feel extra confident, close the book and try playing it from memory!

Playing from memory is a great skill to develop, and makes any performance even more special

for the player and the audience!

Mark in the semitones of the scale with your pencil to help you remember whether your fingers should be a tone

apart or a semitone apart!

Points for Parents

TheoryTeacher ChecklistTipsPurpose• To practise shifting from 1st

to 3rd position using the 1st finger (see Diagram 2)

• To revise where the semitones occur in the key of E major in 1st and 3rd position.

• To practise playing two consecutive up bow quavers

• To practise the augmented 2nd interval as it occurs during the piece in the key of C harmonic minor (A to B)

La Festaiola begins and ends on a C, just like the C minor scale. Also, the note B occurs frequently during the piece. Sometimes in minor keys the second last note of the scale (the 7th scale degree) is raised by a semitone to add melodic colour to the music.Every major scale has a minor scale with the same key signature, this is called a relative minor, or vice versa, it would be called a relative major.

• Practise saying the syncopated rhythm (ti-ta-ti) using the metronome.

• Practise stretching from an A to a B on the G string (Augmented 2nd)

• Learn where the semitones occur in 3rd position by studying the finger chart.

• Revise where the semitones are in 1st position by playing the Emajor scale

• Can play the whole piece in tune and in time with the metronome.

• Student uses the correct shifting technique (RGP).

• Ghosts (lightly glides the finger along the string) between 1st and 3rd position.

• Lands notes in 1st and 3rd position exactly without glissando or guessing.

• Can play with the correct bowing style in the correct parts of the bow.

Exercise 4: 1st - 3rd position shifting in E majorUse the finger chart and notice how your 1st finger will be shifting from

a lower position up to 3rd position.

La Festaiola has a B , E and an A , which means it could be in one of two keys. E major or its relative, C minor. When a piece is in a minor key, it often has a melancholy (sad) sound as opposed to pieces in a

major key, which sound more uplifting (happy). Does La Festaiola sound happy or sad?

When playing in 3rd position, try checking your 3rd position notes with the open string. For example

1st finger (in 3rd position) on DGstring should sound lovely and in tune when played with Open C

string.

2nd finger shifting with 1 sharp Waltz Felice

• To learn to play in the style of a waltz, beat 1 being the strongest and beats 2 and 3 being the weak beats.

• To learn where the semitones are in 3rd position when playing with one sharp (F#).

• To practice shifting from 1st to 3rd position using the 2nd finger as shown in Diagram 3.

• Think of the rhythm as being Oom (beat 1) pah pah (beat 2 and 3).

• Practise the bowing divisions in bar 11 by using more bow on the 3rd beat to bring out the crescendo.

• Learn the note names by studying the finger chart and singing the piece in fixed pitch.

• Check notes in 3rd position with open strings to ensure they are in tune!

• Can play in time with the metronome and in tune.

• Understands the concept of simple triple time.

• Is familiar with the bowing divisions needed to play slurred staccato.

• Can play with full use of the bow in order to maximize the dynamics.

• Simple Triple time means that there are 3 crotchet beats per bar. The first beat being the strongest followed by two weaker beats.

• A waltz is a ballroom dance in triple time with a strong accent on the first beat of each bar.

Grace notes are decorative notes played on the 1st beat of the note, to which they are linked. The 1st and 2nd fingers should both remain on the string and glide up together when shifting between 1st and 3rd position.

• To revise playing tunnels using the left hand while playing double stops and also while playing fast quaver passages.

• To learn double stopping (playing two notes at once).

• To revise playing fast quavers in the middle of the bow.

• Practise the double stop notes separately and slowly. Where possible, double-check the tuning of 3rd fingers with the open strings below and the 1st finger with the open string above. The intervals you will be listening for will be a perfect octave and a perfect fourth respectively.

• Play in the middle of the bow and follow the tunnel markings for the left hand (indicated by a finger marking with a long line) in order to achieve accurate pitch.

• Can play in tune and in time with the metronome.

• Uses tunnels where marked.• Plays the double stops in tune and

knows how to check their pitch when practising at home.

• Double stopping is when 2 strings are played at once.
