Allocation of the Practising Material

  Alternately with the first part of the " Violin Technic", the first book of the " Studies Preparatory to the Shake " should be used.  At the same time, one should begin with the " School of Bowing Technic."
  The exercises of the second part of the " Violin Technic " should be dealt with in the order as given by Ševčík (see footnote page 2, part 2).  Simultaneously with the second part of the " Violin Technic", one should begin the second book of the " Studies Preparatory to the Shake", " Changes of Position and Scale Studies", as well as the " Double Stoppings"
