Description
Workbook for Strings, Book 1. By Forest R. Etling. Published by Alfred Publishing Co.
The Workbook For Strings, Books 1 and 2, stresses the names of notes, finger patterns, scales, key signatures, terms and symbols, and other information necessary to prepare the string player thoroughly for orchestra membership.
Book 1, 44 pages, covers the problems encountered during the first year or so of string study.
Book 2, 40 pages, briefly reviews the Book 1 material, covers all keys, finger patterns, string terms, signs and symbols, and corresponds to material found in most second and third year method books.
Published in separate books for each of the stringed instruments, the material is in workbook form so that the assignments can be completed at home to save rehearsal time. Only a minimum amount of classroom explanation is necessary.

These workbooks are perfect for older beginners. They are a bit dry for really young kids. Those students need fun and games, and larger staves. I love the visual finger patterns and drills on high and low second fingers (second and third fingers for cello). I haven’t seen any other theory books that have that feature.
