If there ever is a bible for violin teachers, I’m sure will be something written by Simon Fischer.

His books take you on a journey to understand every single body motion and how it relates to violin technique. 

I devour his blog posts, books, and his earlier Strad magazine articles.

The man is my personal hero and today I want to convince you to get his books.

 

If you have never heard of Simon, I recommend starting by getting a copy of his Basics. But really, anywhere you begin you’ll enjoy his style of writing and teaching.

Here’s a list of his books with links to Amazon and his site:

 

Basics

Practice

The Violin Lesson

Scales

Double Stops 

Tone: Experimenting with Proportions
