The Shortest Path To<br />
Winning an Audition!<br />
Are Sevcik’s famous studies a key ingredient toward mastering a difficult<br />
work? Yes, as so many top players and teachers will tell you. Are they<br />
tedious and repetitious, or worse, leading to discouragement and robotic<br />
playing? Many will say so.<br />
Why the difference of opinion? It comes down to how Sevcik’s studies<br />
are used in practice. Simply put, under the right guidance, Sevcik<br />
studies offer perhaps the fastest path to success. Now, you can re-discover<br />
the effectiveness of Sevcik applied directly to two great works in the<br />
repertoire by Sevcik himself: The Mendelssohn Concerto and Wieniawski’s<br />
Scherzo-Tarantelle. Published for the first time in 75 years, these works<br />
have been updated and edited for today’s generation of players and teachers<br />
by noted violin professors Endre Granat and Stephen Shipps.<br />

Audition Mastery Guide<br />
by Adam Crane<br />
From the award-winning creator of “Niff T. Shift’s Agility Training<br />
Guide”, a practical, no-nonsense method that will help you snag your<br />
next audition!<br />
The audition process can “make or break” a musician. When undertaking<br />
preparation for an audition too often musicians find themselves in a panic. In<br />
reality, one does not need to become frustrated or stressed out, in order to<br />
improve. With intelligent structured, and organized preparation, an<br />
intelligent game plan will serve to insure comfort and confidence at an<br />
audition. Professional violinist and skilled teacher Adam Crane helps you<br />
reinvent your attitude about the audition process so you can make each<br />
audition experience a learning step that will hone your skills. The Audition Mastery Guide was originally<br />
developed for an “All-State” audition preparation workshop, where each of the 18 participants progressed to<br />
the final round and went on to gain acceptance into the orchestra. 30 pages, spiral bound.<br />

Building Blocks of<br />
Violin Virtuosity<br />
by Valerie Bobbett Gardner<br />
“I enthusiastically recommend Valerie Gardner’s<br />
excellent DVDs. Essential technical skills are clearly<br />
explained and demonstrated by Mrs. Gardner<br />
and her students.” - Michael Avsharian, Shar<br />
Executive Vice President<br />
“Why do fine violinists look ‘snooty’ when they<br />
perform? Well... perhaps because they are, but<br />
certainly because they’ve discovered the posture<br />
which enables them to play freely and without<br />
tension. You can, too, with the aid of this<br />
foundational DVD” - Valerie Bobbett Gardner<br />
