Intonation Construction: It focuses on building intonation through "third tones" and specific finger-placement drills rather than just repetition. Content and Structure
Furthermore, Fischer’s approach bridges the gap between the physical and the auditory. His exercises often utilize "drone" practices, where one finger remains anchored while others move around it. This is particularly evident in his exercises for sixths and octaves. By isolating the interval and forcing the student to listen to the purity of the harmonic ratio, Fischer turns double stops from a mechanical hurdle into an exercise in ear training. The "PDF" approach—simply reading the notes off a screen—often misses the crucial instruction to play slowly and listen to the waves of sound, a step Fischer deems essential for developing a singing tone.
