The student has a very beautiful sound! And he learns quickly.

I like the to-the-point manner of explanations. Her remark about letting go to reinforce the release at the ends of martele bow strokes is helpful. Sometimes, students understand that you must release, but still end up pinching in practice. It was nice to sit-in on this lesson!

Hi Bayla! This was great. On the bass we also use what you are teaching in this video. We have to modify some things, but basically it's the same for us, too.

Awesome teaching!

So when you say “ scything “are you doing that just once on the up bow or do you do several motions of the scything on one bow .

Mozart Violin Concerto No.5 1st Movement

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. I can decide to start the Bruch Concerto from NOTHING. NOTHING. What kind of absurd rule, dogma is that, that I have to start a note with a little accent( no matter how small or big…)? Singers and actors also start some words from NOTHING. Modern composers even use a sign to tell they want a note coming from NOTHING.

Galamian was wrong about quite a lot. Even on technical matters he gave bad advice on both vibrato and pizzicato. His best students were already virtuosos when he met them, so he benefits from an unearned reputation.

What a silly comment. The beauty of music is diversity. Just because someone has a way, and believes in it, it doesn’t mean that it’s the only way. No one person knows all legitimate ways. So you are building a straw man with your negative comment. If this way doesn’t work for you or suite your experience, aesthetic feel or abilities, there are many other ways to choose from.
