must have for every violinist

This is a really phenominally detailed synopsis of six lessons of basic technique with Yehudi Menuhin. It is definitey not for beginners though. All levels of players can benefit from the information in this book. It starts with stretches and works its way through how to hold the instrument and use the bow. No matter how ong you have been playing, emphasis on the basics like this is always good to review periodically because we all fall into bad habits. Should be on everyone's shelf right next to Simon Fisher's "Basics"
