By Mary Cohen. 

Superstudies Viola Book 1 is a collection of 19 original, imaginative studies for solo viola and has been specially designed for young players. Each piece concentrates one or two aspects of technique, and the whole set covers a wide range of left and right hand skills, including spicatto bowing, string-crossing, moto perpetuo, cantabile, and easy double-stops.

Teachers and pupils will find this invaluable yet light-hearted collection both enjoyable and stimulating.
