Title: SHIFTING
Subtitle: 30 Short Studies for Young Violinists
Description: Geringas introduces a sort of free shifting based on ear training - the exercises require the ability to hear the intervals. His idea is that for young students, it's easier to play in higher positions and shifting should be introduced as soon as the student has acquired the basic finger patterns, preferably within the first year of study. All the etudes in this book are original pieces by the author. He has divided his pieces into 5 different types with the 6th being "Various Shifts" and labels each piece A-F accordingly.
