Violin Fingerboard Mastery:
Contemporary Mapping Exercises and Improvisation Studies
Develop your violin fingerboard knowledge and facility. Whether you are looking to unlock your ability to improvise, deepen your knowledge of harmony, compose new works, improve your musical memory, or strengthen your interpretation of Bach, having an intimate relationship with your violin fingerboard is essential. These exercises and etudes will forever change the way you look at the fingerboard and lay the foundation for improvisation within any musical style. You will learn: fingering patterns, practice approaches for improvisation, fundamental chords and arpeggios, a ten-step guide to practicing progressions, pentatonic scales and enclosure licks, navigation and voice-leading techniques for an array of harmonic relationships, five performance-ready jazz violin etudes, and more.
“Having heard Jason Anick’s brilliant performances and wishing to understand his magic, I found “Violin Fingerboard Mastery” to be everything I had hoped for and more. This book changes the way one hears music. It is insightful and clearly written. It maps harmony onto the violin fingerboard in an easy to understand approach. I can’t wait to spend more time with the exercises. I would recommend this book to every instrumentalist playing any genre of music.”
