The Exercise Book (Intermediate)

Viola - more difficult

I love the melodies per se, and it helps seeing the videos, however, as they are meant for beginners, it's difficult to play on viola what i see being played on cello - I miss haveing finger positions written (in what position should I play a note) and some sheets gives me an impression that the author hasn't tried how the pieces play on the actual instrument (such as by asking their viola playing friends) and has just transposed them into viola key.

Excellent music and excellent teaching tool.

Just started working with my intermediate viola student on these. The rhythms and bowings teach some excellent lessons. I just wish they had optional piano parts so my students could play them on recitals!

Interesting and different exercises

I enjoyed playing through the book of exercises. I am now sharing some with students to get their input and feedback. I like the fun rhythms. My main issue was all the ledger lines in bass clef. Hard to read. Tenor clef would be ok.
