Practical dexterity exercises are essential for the student violinist. Dimitri Hadjipetkov, the tricampus strings director at the Montclair Kimberley Academy in Montclair, New Jersey, identifies three main benefits resulting from dexterity drills and exercises: (1) strengthening the third and fourth finger in first position; (2) improving students' ability to play accidentals; and (3) increasing overall intonation. One additional benefit from working these exercises is prevention of overuse problems in student players. This article presents some recommended books with dexterity exercises for student violinists.
