The students listened to three Arabic musical pieces that covered three modes: Rast, Saba and Nahawand. The Rhythmic tempos of the three pieces were played in two phases: slow and fast. Each of the three modes was given a specific description; the first mode was "Saba" and theoretically had a grieving effect, the second was "Nahawand" and theoretically had sentimental effect, and the third was "Rast" and theoretically had an energetic effect. The experiment showed that the three different modes have impact on German Ear, which generally correlates with what most of the Arab musicians propose.

The shifting process between positions is considered of the vital topics for studies in Violin performance and very essential to make the best performing. The importance of this study lies in suggesting a numbering system of the fingers for the parts that include difficulties in shifting between positions, which leads to developing the best shifting skill between positions with high technical and artistic efficiency. Also the importance of this study is due to the fact that it motivates the ambitious performer to create new methods in the shifting process which enable him to achieve continuous progress.
