Part 3: FIRST PIECES (using left hand pizzicato):
The first pieces are played with left hand pizzicato using the pinky of the left hand over the high dot. These pieces are designed to help the left hand find and maintain the proper position. Using this beginning left hand position also trains the left elbow to move from left to right under the violin as needed for string changes. The following pieces are taught in the order presented below and are covered at the pace of the individual student.
