"Edgar
Gabriel's String Groove® is the best product of it's
kind in the market today!"
- Joseph Golan, Principal Second Violin of the CSO
Edgar
Gabriel's new book, String Groove®, provides a unique
and wonderful addition to the violin pedagogical literature. Rather
than focusing on a particular type of music (jazz, old-time fiddle,
etc.), its introduction to 12 distinct styles opens a player's eyes
to the limitless possibilities of music that can be played on the
violin.
Edgar's experience as a professional in both the classical and non-classical
music worlds gives him the ability to explain things clearly when
offering hints for skills that may be foreign to classical players,
such as improvisation and swinging.
I believe that a book like String Groove® is important
book for the complete education of the violin student of the 21st
century. It is also a terrific resource for professionals such as
myself, providing a great starting place for exploring the worlds
of folk, jazz, and rock.
I look forward to referring to the 'Listening Suggestions' and 'Advanced
Ideas' over and over as I work on improving my own non-classical
skills."
- Rachel Barton, Concert Violinist
"It's a little gem of a book that teaches in a most concise
and yet entertaining way."
- Johnny Frigo, Jazz Violinist
"This one looks very good, put together by a great Chicago player."
- Darol Anger, Jazz Violinist
