What

Bow Development from Twinkle to Mendelssohn: Viola, Violin

Instructor: Cathryn Lee

Event Description

Teachers, bring your violin or viola and prepare to meet the Panda! Beginning with the simplest games and exercises for the Pre-Twinkler, we will take our bow arms on a life long journey beginning towards the most advanced bowing techniques in the violin literature. Experience the magic as we bend our knees and circle, tic tock land and stop, and jellyfish our way from staccato to sautille.

From past participants:
“I was amazed at how Mrs. Lee’s classes improved my own playing, not to mention my teaching.” Playing advanced repertoire has never felt this easy before. It’s like using the bow is almost effortless.”
“Cathy Lee is the queen of the bow.”
