 Practice doesn't make perfect. Practice makes PERMANENT! Do it correctly! Jun 04, 2007
By John Annen
"HipWac"
Every violinist should know these studies, or something just like them. The first 30 studies are in first position.
Wohlfahrt's Violin studies work on almost every aspect of violin technique. If you are having a issue with your technique, find a lesson that works that same issue. Even the lessons that look simple have a lesson to be learned. The first lesson is a good example. Easy enough if you read music, but look at the many bowing variations.
These exercises are excellent, but you should have an instructor patiently helping you work though them. Take you time. Get it right. Don't rush. There is no audio CD recording available, but if you are having trouble with one of these studies, email me your concern. I'll try to help. No cost. I enjoy working on these.

great book of etudes for students Jul 01, 2011
By Janice Tucker Rhoda
"String Teacher"
When my students are at the end of ABCs of Violin Book 2, I introduce Wohlfahrt etude book 1 to them, especially if a student has the time and wants to practice extra material and develop their technique further, and/or solidify what they have learned in the ABCs books.
First position is included in Book 1 of this combined Wohlfahrt Opus 45 sixty studies, however 3rd position is included in Book 2 of this combined edition. When students complete ABCs of Violin Book 3, which includes a basic introduction to 3rd position on all 4 strings, I then introduce the Book 2 of this Wohlfahrt book.
Wohlfahrt Book 2 begins with 3rd position, but towards the end finishes with Etudes No. 48 to 60 containing 2nd position as well. The studies get progressively more difficult with double stops at the end. No. 54 is chromatic, very useful in the development.
ABCs of Violin Book 4 introduces easy 2nd position on all 4 strings, but Whistler Volume II and the 2nd half of this etude book (Book 2) are good books to use following ABCs of Violin Books 4 and 5. The 2nd position studies at the end of this Wohlfahrt are very challenging.

 a great supplemental material to Suzuki methods May 14, 2011
By Phoebe H
My daughter's first teacher chose this book for her younger students. My daughter started learning violin at the age of 5 and has played both Suzuki and Wohlfahrt since then. These Etudes are much tougher than Suzuki - musically, technically and mentally. Although my daughter benefits greatly from these etudes, her teacher, who was an accomplished Japanese violinist that emphasizes on technique and discipline, acknowledged that my daughter was probably the exception who worked on it doggedly. At the age of 10, my daughter is finally done with Wohlfahrt and ready for Kreutzer. I still think that it is a wonderful book but it could also damper the enthusiasm for some younger players.

By Beautiful Dreamer
If you are a beginner/intermediate (my category) who knows your notes/fingerings in first position, this book will be helpful for you to take your playing up a notch. I just started the book, and I enjoy these studies. They are challenging, especially if you work on different bowings, but not so much that you get frustrated. They are musical, so that makes it fun and also helps you know if you're playing them right. I like how they make you go all over the strings, skipping notes.
I just started using this book as a supplement to the ABC's of Violin (am just starting the 3rd "advanced" book in that series). I'm doing one etude per week along with my lessons in the ABC book.
