 TO THE STUDENT
Having completed the study of Book I, you should be thoroughly familiar with the fundamentaIs of violin
playing, such as a good position, correct use of the fingers when placing the left hand, and the elementary principies
of bow control.
Book 11 includes a continuation of the eIementary material, presenting slightly more advanced exereises and
.pieces. To be better able to play the familiar melodies and pieces, it is recommended that you prepare the purely
technical exereises at the beginning of each lesson where a new key and finger-pIacing is introduced.
Study carefully ,the diagrams introducing additional keys and fingerings when positioning your fingers for the
new notes. Remember that you must first read the note and then place the finger, so verify the note you are reading
and the exact finger-position for that note. The surest way to pIay w~ll derives from the ability to read well.
Foster the habit of quick thinking by assimilating the folk, Ning points ai first g!anct:
/ (1) Name of Note (Natural, Sharp or FIat).
(2) How to Play (Finger-Position and String).
(8) How Long to Hold (Time-Value).
Training your perceptive powers to respond in this manner will enhance your command of violin technique and,
correspondingly, enlarge your musical horizon.
Many of my pupils have formed groups which meet to play the duets, trios and quartets with piano, thus forming
a little orchestra. Why don't you try it't-you'll have Iots of fun!

TO THE TEACHER
In eompíling Book 11, I have tried to carry out in slightly more advanced material the basic principIes of violin
playing as laid down in Book I.
The material has been selected and the grading edited to provide sequential progress as each step is mastered,
Adequate preparation for the development of the student is allowed for, although the amount of purely technicaI
work has been kept to a minimum. This book is very largely made up of folksongs and other familiar melodies of
good musical quality arranged in duet, trio and quartet forro. from which the pupil should aehíeve a sound bowing
style and firm grasp of finger-{intonation) technique. An awareness of musical form and harmonic structure stems
naturally from the study of these pieces.
The use of the piano accompaniment has proved of value both in the classroom and in the hom:e. That imporlant
advantages result from its use is eertain. The interest and ambition of the pupil is stimulated by the addition of the
harmonic structure, which also serves as a guide to the p'roper placing of the fingers through hearing the note he is
producing in the harmony. The use of the piano part is recommended from the earliest stages so as to stimulate
the musical ear to a keen perception of modulations and hannonies, for which the violin, in that particular regard,
is comparatively imperfect.
I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. Edmund Schill, Director of Music. Verona, N.J., and to Mr.
Francis Rice, Teacher of violin classes in East Orange. and Roselle Park, N.J., for their helpful suggestions and
criticisms in compiling this series of books.

 LESSON 2
Studies for the use of the second finger in different positions
Two new notes,C natural on the A stn..n.t a.nd G natural OD the E atring

T'he itnportance of being able to read notes as well as you can read the Ietters of the alphabet cannot be
overestimated. This is the foundation on which your future progress dependa. Vou must a180 lmow the exact
posítíon of your f'íngers on the fingerboard so as to be able to play any given notei for example, to pIay C#
on the A strtng, the second finger Is placed a whole tone from the first (high posttíon) but to play C natural,
the second finger Is placed close to the first (low poeítíon) T'herefore, the necessity of lmowing whether the
note ís natural, sharp or fIat is perfectly obvious.
Have a picture of the fingerboard 'in your mind in order to 8e6 where your fíngers are placed for the different notes,
Study the following diagram showing position of notes already studied and the two new notes to be takon
ln this Iesaon. Name the whoIe tones and semitones.
