Reddit mentions of Contemporary Violin Technique, Volume 1: Scale and Arpeggio Exercises with Bowing and Rhythm Patterns by Frederick Neumann and Ivan Galamian

to add on to what /u/Bass-Doubled said, the other strategy along with working on with a metronome is to have a fingering that works, and stick with it - don't futz around too much with different fingerings as you're trying to get up to speed.

​

As for what makes a "good fingering", it's very much practicality mixed in with personal taste, and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. I, for example, would not play an open D in the second sextuplet because I wouldn't be happy with string crossing for just one note (nor do I think I would make a good sound doing it), so I would opt for playing the previous A# B C# and the D in question all on the A string, probably 1-2 / 2-4 (with "/" denoting a shift up), or, if I was feeling cheeky, 1-3 / 2-4.

​

So my fingering for the first two bars as an example would be:

​

(III)1-(IV)1-4 \ (III)1-2 / 2-4-2 \ 1-4 (II) 0-1| 2-4-2 \ 1-4-1 / (III) 1-4-1 \ 2-4-2 | \ 4 (IV)1 (etc...)

​

with the roman numerals indicating strings, "/" indicating a shift up, "\" indicating a shift back, and "|" indicating a bar line. It's nothing fancy, but it does a few things different than some people do. For instance, I keep each triplet figure in the second bar as its own unit, whereas other people will shift in various other places on the last sextuplet especially. I also opt not to use 0-1-0 for the third triplet in that bar - just personal preference for this type of music and this type of playing. If I was in a period ensemble, I'd play it with that open string.

​

So my advice is "Get a fingering and practice it." Think about how fast it has to be at the end, and adjust your fingering accordingly. for helping metronome practice, I also recommend using rhythmic "fractions," or "fractals". whatever you want to call them, they're just a way of exhaustively writing out every way in which to play N notes in rhythm, or every way how to bow N notes.

​

I use a pull out from this book by Ivan Galamian (warning, amazon link. not affiliated), but Hal Robinson's "Strokin'" is much the same - though I like the way it's laid out in Galamian's book more. Just personal preference.

​

Good luck, this is a tough chunk, but totally achievable.

​

edit - Also, don't buy that book there. I don't know why they're charging like, a hundred bucks for it but it's not worth that, and I'm sure you can find it somewhere else much cheaper.

I'm an adult learner and I started with Suzuki. I actually like it. I also use Whistler's Introducing the Positions Vol. 1 and my preferred scale book is The Complete Scale Compendium for Violin by Larry Clark although I also have Galamian's Contemporary Violin Technique. I like Larry Clark's because it's good for beginners and very thorough. Galamian's and Carl Flesch's Scale System are good if you're really familiar with scales and need something more advanced.

YouTube has a lot of excellent videos. I prefer Eddy Chen if I'm stuck with something really particular. His advice helped me to really develop a practice routine that helped me stay focused and actually accomplish something. If you do Suzuki, there are some instructors who do play along videos (some even do slower tempo versions) of the etudes which I find helpful.
