I have several beginning string classes....This year I started I have included Finger Finesse- violin along with the standard traditional instruction methods I have used for over 25 years. Not only have the kids progressed more than ever before, but the exercises and drills translate perfectly to good teaching principles. I applaud this innovative "fiddle of gold"...and believe that much can be gained by having your students use it. Bravo!

I too have found the Finger Finesse - violin to be quite beneficial. Actually besides, helping with hand position development, my middle school orchestra has used it successfully for fund raising.

 What a neat thing!!! My students love it, I only purchased one, and keep it in my violin case. Of course, my kids always like what I have in my case, pictures, little violin figurines, all to keep their interest and excitement. This Finger Finesse is a hit! I always had my students do similar exercises on the top of the violin, however, this squeezy thingy springs back and retains it shape, They love it!

I don't think I really get it, what is it's purpose? Why would someone use that when they can use a real violin?

We are so pleased that you took the time to post to Data Dragon discussion board.
You said you didn't get it, as in why would someone would practice what they can do on a real violin.
Here is what people are saying:
It builds strength and endurance away from the instrument.
It is geared towards children who can begin these exercises before able to coordinate both hands together.
Specific brain impulses are triggered to promote independence of finger patterns, without the complexity of all of the other violin playing mechanics.
I hope that this has assisted in your question.
If we can be of any further assistance please don't hesitate to ask.

I always used to try to strenghten my pinky and do many trill patterns on my violin. This program is helping, even me I am 67 years old, and my hands are not what they used to be. This helps me stay limber.
