Teaching Musicality through the Fundamentals of Technique

This enrichment course will explore how we achieve musicality in our students through the fundamentals of violin technique, from the beginning of their studies on the violin to advanced level artistry. We will consider establishing posture set-up and balance for the violin and bow, left hand position, scale training, shifting, vibrato, an emphasis on the use of balance and weight to achieve natural tone, plus various bow strokes from basic through advanced. A complete syllabus including exercises and repertoire excerpts will be provided upon registration.
