    Yost Shifting Exercise Model - Viola

    Adapted from Gaylord Yost


    Changes from 1st to 3rd position

    1. Release string before shift, listen for "squeeky" sounds durring the shift
    2. Make sure thumb is not squeezing
    3. Leave the old finger on the string until you reach the new position, then drop the new finger
    4. Remember all of these measures are the same shift, from 1st to 3rd position! the only thing that
    changes is which fingers are down.
