Jan 24, 2013 at 20:13 comment added user28 I think a narrower scope drags it more from recs into problem solving. Here so far you have vague (but perfectly fine) advice in one answer and a very short recommendation. I can't imagine that either of these is the ideal answer. Similar to the left-hand question is this hand-independence question and the accepted answer talks about a resource that is specifically designed to address the problem! You are unlikely to get such focused, helpful answers without a focused and apparent "problem".
Jan 24, 2013 at 19:35 comment added luser droog @MatthewRead I confess I'm stumped by your argument. I want to disagree and plead that the Repertoire tag makes it an exception. But I can't come up with any persuasive arguments for it. Is it just the targeting that's too broad? We don't want one for every instrument?
Jan 24, 2013 at 19:27 comment added terpsichore You could try All for Strings (Anderson/Frost). My violinist spouse teaches from the beginner violin book which has 184 pieces that are all very short and tend to alternate between exercise-like and musically interesting. The viola book is probably similar.

Jan 23, 2013 at 18:04 comment added user28 I'm somewhat on the fence. I think the thing that distinguished the left-hand question was the particular problem involved. Learning a new instrument is very broad and there ought to be many books/systems that would be useful to you. Looking to have one picked out of the crowd is exactly a shopping rec, yes?
