2nd and 3rd position. Easy arrangements of some interesting and unusual repertoire from the baroque period to our own time. In the forward, Wilkinson and Gout explain that "In order to achieve secure intonation, the student must understand the relative placings of the fingers across the strings when playing in different keys and positions. By 'staying put' in one position for a substantial stretch of music, the geography of that position is quickly learned, enabling the student to tackle the adventure of moving up and down the fingerboard with confidence."

Achieving security of fingering, tone and intonation in positions other than first is one of the major technical problems that every young violinist has to tackle. This book offers a carefully selected and edited sequence of short, attractive, repertoire pieces, suitable for examination or concert use, each focusing on a particualr position or a mixture of positions. The material is drawn from a wide range of styles, from baroque to popular tunes, and will appeal to all young players. Expertly arranged piano parts are simple enough for most teachers to tackle with ease.
