Learn to play chopsticks on your violin one set of notes at a time. - Minor thirds, major sixths, Perfect Fifths, Perfect Fourths, and octaves are unusual for violinists to play. 'Chopsticks for the Violin' has them all. In this book, each interval will be discussed and practiced. Each double stop is an interval: two notes a certain distance apart. IT is especially a challenge on the violin since double stops are sometimes difficult to play in tune. This book discusses how the interval can be played on the violin in various positions. It will be a challenge to contort and strengthen your fingers but so very worth the effort when you fly through the song, one very few violinists can play. Memorize the tune so you can play it anywhere, anytime. The Chopsticks Challenge is more than just a song. It is a series of cards with activities to develo0p and refine the technique of playing the violin. Have fun.
