Choosing the best repertoire and technical studies for the student's level is essential for the development of a violinist.
Beginners have the advantage of learning left hand technique beginning in the third position with a rounded fourth finger. From that starting point, the development of vibrato and velocity falls naturally into place.
Intermediate students get a full menu of technical studies, to develop articulation, shifting, vibrato, extensions, double stops, bow strokes, string crossings, etc., and how to combine the many skills into an integrated whole.
