“Master Fifth Position with Finger Patterns” educates violinists how to play in fifth position via six different finger patterns. The book focuses on finger relationships on the same string and across the instrument. This book also focuses on distinct issues typically neglected in other method books; low one in fifth position.

Many violinists after years of study, still struggle with how notes relate to each other across the strings and this method book, in a beautiful melodic way, addresses these issues. Practice techniques of checking pitches with open strings and lower positions to stay on track with intonation, are melodically implemented directly into the exercises.

“Master Fifth Position” is perfect for fifth position newbies and seasoned fifth position players wanting to improve intonation. The exercises practiced at a faster tempo can help more advanced players discover and fix their fifth position inconsistencies.

Inspiring

I remember that a few years ago I picked up my violin after decades in the musical wilderness and tried to improve my down bow. Heather's analogy to think of is as water gushing down a waterfall did the trick.

Now I am working on shifting and again Heather comes to the rescue. Her focus on the 5th is magical. Her systematic, uncluttered, and inspiring presentation of the steps toward success are another tribute to an inspiring pedagogue, even for an amateur like me. I begin and end my busy days with the 5th.

Thank you, Heather.

Cheers, Fred Szabo
