Hi - I'm looking for a viola book with exercises to start learning to shift position - the one my teacher recommended seems to be out of print - I've had a good trawl through the internet but can't find anyone with it in stock.
Can anyone recommend anything? many thanks |

The one I'm familiar with, and would recommend, is Neil Mackay, "Position Changing for the Viola". Some online stores seem to have it.

I will recommend that even though I've never seen a viola book in my life! Reason why: I have this book for the violin (same author same everything) and I found it really good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

That's the book I'm supposed to be getting but i only found places that said it was out of stock and they didn't know when they would get it back in again.
Off to have another trawl! |

It is available on abebooks but probably at rather more than you would like to pay for it!

Thanks for finding it, but yes - it is a little pricey!
Wondering whether to try 'phoning a couple of local music shops on the off chance. I'm surprised that this seems to be the only book covering the subject - maybe I should write one - once I've learnt how to do it of course! |

A couple of years ago I was looking for a second-hand copy of an oboe concerto (oboe part and piano reduction) which had gone out of print. I finally found a shop with a "new" copy that had been on the shelf for donkey's years. They sold it to me for the price on the cover: £1.75 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
