Improv For Violinists
Violin with Accompaniment CD
$19.95

Centerstream publication. This is a concise, yet comprehensive book covering many of the gaps in knowledge a solo instrumentalist may have, when approaching improvization and the interpretations of chord symbols. Considerable time is spent on explaining harmony, and the author (John Henry Gates) does an excellent job in explaining chords to provide a thorough understanding of chord construction. This is one of the main reasons for recommending this book: the explanations are not dummed down, but are accurate and thorough. If you read carefully, you will definitely learn!
