Studies in Finger Action and Position Playing

By Gaylord P. Yost

Four exercises are presented to violinists. Exercise 1 is designed to develop strength and absolute independence of finger action and ease in quick adjustment of the fingers in chord playing. Exercise 2 is for the extension and retraction of finger action and for the development of expansion and flexibility of the hand and fingers. Exercise 3 is for the development of great speed and accuracy in finger action. Exercise 4 is concerned with the process of across-string adaptability. Its practice will greatly increase the facility of playing across the strings and is enormously beneficial for intonation in the higher positions.
