註釋See Saw Swings is a book of violin exercises for beginning and remedial students. It is absolutely necessary for every violin teacher. Think of it as Sevcik with a heart. Also great for self-teaching adults!Most students can complete all the exercises within a year and sometimes as quickly as four months. At that point, the student is ready to learn anything at the level of Suzuki Volume 4, pieces like Seitz and Vivaldi concerti. This goes for violinist, violists and cellists.See Saw Swings is more than 50 pages of variations on a simple tune. The variations cover every note up to 4th position on all four strings. There are also rhythmic variations, and all the iterations can be modified with slurs, accidentals, and shifting. When students practice See Saw Swings, it not only allows them to read pages of music without pause, but it gives them confidence that they can sound good on every piece they tackle.Every teacher that uses this book reports that all of their students love it. It is like nothing you've ever tried before, and because of that, it is difficult to describe how it works.But I'll try.Imagine whole brain learning transferred to the violin. Imagine phonics applied to viola music. Imagine a study technology for the cello that is a quantum leap over anything you've tried before. Yes, for violin, viola, and cello, See Saw Swings will make it much much easier for your students to find their way around the instrument. After all, the essential problems for beginning string players is to find the strings with the bow and to discover where to place the fingers. This can only be done with practice, with countless repetitions, and there is no other product that offers the repetitions in such a playable format. Most of the exercises can be played in canon, and all can be enhanced with simple improvisations on the piano. See Saw Swings is designed so that the student constantly alternates between crossing strings and then fingering notes on one string. This is what happens all the time in actual music.For the beginner and remedial student, there are three basic bowing challenges: long strokes, short strokes, and string crossings. Spiccato and upbow staccato come later. See Saw Swings is an accessory to any teaching method, whether it's Doflein, O'Conner, Suzuki, or Applebaum. However, when you use See Saw Swings, you will discover the magic of whole brain learning and musical phonics. See Saw Swings is so simple in its approach that most people will wonder why they didn't compose it themselves. The principles are so obvious that you'll swear you thought of it before. But now it's here and readily available. When you use it to supplement your basic teaching materials, prepare to be amazed.
