About a month after I wrote Open String Bow Workouts for the Violin, Book One, back at the end of 2019, I got the first email asking for Book Two. As more and more people started asking for Book Two, I realized that I’d like a Book Two as well and I started mapping out what a second volume would look like.

​It’s taken a little bit longer than I’d planned (apologies to everyone who got a January 2020 estimated release date!) but Open String Workouts for the Violin, Book Two is finally here!  

To celebrate, here is a second volume of free Mini Open String Bowing Workouts for Violin! The mini violin bowing workouts below are all-new and are not included in the book. 

Free Mini Violin Bowing Workout No. 2

Because Open String Bow Workouts for Violin, Book Two focuses on articulation and bow control, these free studies work on some of the same skills that the book does: staccato, dynamics, double stop staccato, and spiccato.

Free Mini Violin Bowing Workout No. 4

Double stop staccato is a great way to get the strings ringing right away – which leads to better tone overall!
