STRADIVARI is a collection of books for string instruments. It was inspired by a personal challenge: I wanted my students to be more motivated but at the same time to give them a complete technical formation in their instruments.
The three volumes begin with the elementary level. They are all organized according to the fingering charts used in English and American methods: beginning with 0-1-23-4 in the first volume; continuing in the second with 0-12-3-4 and 0-1-2-34, and in the third volume the student learns the chromatic scale in first position. In the third volume the third position is also studied.
My intention was to introduce all of the difficulties in a gradual manner (rhythms, notes, dynamics, harmonics, double strings, position changes and three-note chords) while attempting to combine different tonalities, measures and alteration in such a manner that the techniques are thoroughly mastered. At the beginning of each volume there is a review of the scales and arpeggios most used with exercises using jumps of the bow and slurs.
In my opinion, one of the most attractive features of the books is the variety of musical styles included. This both motivates the student and familiarizes them with different types of music. The accompaniments have been recorded on a CD that accompanies each of the books and they include modern styles and classical styles with varied instrumentations. These styles include jazz, tango, Celtic music, country, and there are also some pieces more "serious", such as the etudes (two in each book) and the Concertino (one in each book) which serve as a review of all the techniques studied.
I recommend that the students listen to the recordings as a stimulus, but they should not begin interpretation until the notes themselves have been thoroughly mastered. This will help them avoid becoming nervous or frustrated. For those students who find the accompaniments on the CD are at a tempo that is too fast, the book of piano accompaniments is available which is also very useful for playing auditions or concerts.
In the recordings of the pieces in the first volumen and half of the second, the sound of the clap announces the measure before the viola entrance. By the time the student reaches the third volume they should already know how to count measures of rest. The viola part is recorded at a low volume so that it does not interfere with the sound of the student playing along with the CD.
