ABSTRACT

Aiming at the lack of systematic teaching materials for left-hand finger independence training in violin playing, this study developed a laddered training program and carried out empirical verification. Integrating principles of physiology, psychology and pedagogy, the teaching material is designed with three progressive stages and modular exercises. Adopting a mixed-method approach, the research conducted a 16-week controlled experiment on 60 learners, integrating multi-source data including technical tests, motion capture and interviews. The results show that the experimental group using the teaching material achieved significantly greater progress than the control group in finger separation control, movement efficiency and performance quality of musical fragments. The laddered structure effectively reduces the learning load and promotes the stable internalization of techniques, verifying the scientificity and practicability of the teaching material in improving finger independence.
