Complete Violin Technics Course: Books 1-3 and Scale Studies

Siv ridley: I've played the flute for years and decided I wanted to try my hand at something new. This book gives just the right amount of challenge to a begginer to help them improve. I'm still working my way through it, and I imagine once I've finished it'll still make a great book to use for warm ups before moving on to something more advanced.

DiGioDiGio: 5 star for the book - my son is taught by Suzuki method, but I hire him teachers outside Suzuki during the school holidays. One of the teachers recommended Schradiek to help relax his left hand, which he hated then. A year later, whilst practicing Can Can as part of his chamber orchestra at school, he asked me to buy him Schradiek as he understood how
much it helped him in past. Bingo!

3 star for delivery though - it was packed in unnecessarily large box, and despite all the protective layers the book still came bent.

DrK: It is what it is. My copy was well printed and stays open on the stand. I don't do this as often as I should, but when I do it really helps with dexterity and intonation.

David Tan: I use this for my students and myself as warming up before daily practice, it is great for intonation and finger dexterity. A word of caution, if you use the bowing and tempo suggested, it is not elementary stuffs. Beginners be aware.

Robpluto: Pros:
Nice sounding etudes and violin studies. Very large collection of music. Broad range of techniques are in this large book.
Cons:
Challenging studies that aren't for beginners or 1st or 2nd or 3rd year students of the violin, unless you are a prodigy. These are difficult etudes and violin studies. The book is overly thick making the pages difficult to keep open. I literally needed to split the book into 2 smaller books of music so that I could keep the pages open.

D. Crane: I bought this compilation to replace my aging book 1. It is great to have all three books in one compilation, which makes it a particularly good value. As far as content, this is dry and mostly un-melodic material, similar to Sevcik. It is excellent for drilling finger dexterity and establishing the frame of the left hand, but largely ignores the right hand and arm. The scale studies are quite accessible, and I think make an excellent foundation before an advancing student moves on to more challenging scale studies, such as Galamian or Flesch. Almost invariably, I use early book 1 etudes as part of my daily warm-up routine. Though I think some other method books can accomplish the same in more melodic and balanced ways, this method can provide a benefit to any violinist.
