See Saw Swing for Viola: Develop tone, technique, note reading, intonation, and shifting (Metatechnical Exercises)

See Saw Swing, Volume 1 of the Metatechnical Exercises series."See Saw Swing" is a supplement for beginning, remedial, and self-teaching students that accelerates every teaching method, including Doflein, O'Connor, Suzuki, and Applebaum.. When students practice these exercises, it not only allows them to read pages of music without pause, but it gives them confidence that they can sound good on every piece they tackle.. With an evolutionary approach, Metatechnical Exercises is a training system that oscillates a student's attention-processing between the left brain and right brain to generate an accelerated learning curve.. These exercises have been shown to bypass a student's debilitating habits and effect dynamic changes at the neuroplastic level.. Activating whole brain learning also involves lighting up the forebrain, freeing students to apply their own critical thinking to the challenges of finding their way around stringed instruments.. Most students complete all the exercises in "See Saw Swing" within a year and at that point, they are ready to learn anything at the level of Suzuki Volume 4: pieces like Seitz and Vivaldi concerti.
