Pinchas Zukerman lesson with Helena Baillie

[@john.415]

The "in-and-out" bowing technique described by Mr. Zuckerman is a huge "secret" to producing a consistently rich and dense tone. The ergonomics of the arm require this to keep the bow "square" and parallel to the string "sounding point." I've applied the principle for a long time now, but alas spent years before actually discovering this concept for myself. It think this technique is indispensable.

[@JXS63J]

Mr Zukerman comes across as a true teacher; concerned for his student, giving of his knowledge, and happy within himself. Ms Baillie also comes across as a genuinely wonderful student; most willing to learn, appreciative of her teacher, and submissive to her chosen craft as a means of loving life. This was wonderful to watch.

[@JXS63J]

@@wk5269 Sir: I have seen and responded to the article you highlight. Briefly, I felt Mr Zukerman's treatment of this Asian violinist was insensitive, perhaps highly so, but not offensive. You want to take one incident from Mr Zukerman's life and label him a bigot? With this logic, we are all bigots. Bigotry loses its potency with this constant dilution of its true import. My comment was from a different situation, and I stand by it. Maybe watching that particular post again might help. Hopefully you do not take comfort in revelling in the discovered faults of others.

Спасибо большое за возможность увидеть такой замечательный урок от великого скрипача!

[@ChrisEbbrsen]

Thank you for letting me sit in on the lesson!

[@jorgevallin2983]

THANK YOU... AND THANK YOU MAESTRO PINCHAS ZUKERMAN.... PLEASE MORE.... AWESOME SECRETS THAT I LOVE TO IMPLEMENT IN MY EVERYDAY PRACTICE...

[@claude7473]

Maestro Pinchas says so many important principles of learning in this short video that should be quoted and hang in any studio wall. Just watch the first 4 minutes... to start.

[@joefagan9335]

lovely sound from the student

[@fattahazizi8282]

Thank you.I have just seen you,Ì love your lesson.God bless you.

[@francisomahony8602]

I didn't realise the girl was playing a viola. She has a beautiful sound and a very fluent bow arm.

[@nekocafe8420]

I agree, Wonderful sound and beautiful vibrato.

Thanks Helena.

MARAVILLOSO ZUKERMAN !! EL PERFECTO CONOCIMIENTO DEL ARCO, EL BRAZO.., SU TECNICA PARA EL LOGRO DEL MARAVILLOSO SONIDO. LO COMPARTO TOTALMENTE.

[@jaschenski]

Dave Takeno - former Head of Strings at Guildhall? Think he lives in Cornwall now. Brilliant stuff, so instructional, the technology of the Zukerman sound!

[@whoareyou1332]

He comes over as really nice. This was fascinating to watch. So many good tips too (as a violinist). I think it is shockingly bad that the other woman didn't know her pupil's name and had to be corrected though. The student's bowing improved so much in just 10 minutes of doing the basic bow movements as did the tone when she was playing. Watching this encourages me to do more of the boring stuff when it comes to practice, because it is essential to good playing. It's really easy to get lazy and just play the fun stuff. But then I get cross with myself that I cannot play the fun stuff as well as I would like, and it's because I'm not being mindful of my technique. Thanks SO much for the video!

[@aristoman007]

Thank you for sharing this. It is really helpful.

[@tullochgorum6323]

Interesting - the better the player, the more they seem to focus on the basics. I heard a story from my cello teacher that he got up early one morning at a workshop and found Cassals, in his 80s, practising open string long-bows with great intensity... But what's with his idea we don't know about colle in England???

[@gaby2759]

In his 80's? So he was in PR when he saw Pablo Casals?

[@MrAntifunctional]

+Tullochgorum Learning basics = failed masterclass... :/

[@chickensandsuch.1754]

I saw Henryk Szering do the same thing in the green room before a concert. Open string slow long bow legato for 15 minutes.

[@amiblevy]

What's wrong with the camera? It doesn't show the MASTER at work.

[@mogbaba]

+Ami Levy , The student is too beautiful!

[@RamSadeh]

+mogbaba Not as beautiful as his playing..!!!

[@MrInterestingthings]

We are so fortunate to have this .imagine if we had horowitz or auer giving a lesson.supposedly cortot was recorded on tape giving lesons.i dont speaka no frenchy so that dat wood be laborious . but dis iz great stuff.amazing u play violin 15 years and then a master tells us how to get a decent bow stroke and sound.30 years later and i still dont have a good piano technique.so now i composer. what a travesty but its sooo much ganz mucho fun!!!

What is her name? She is a great player with great sound. The quality of her sound is the best

[@windstorm1000]

he looks and sounds like a good looking Brooklyn bus driver--but when he plays Pinchas is pure class--

[@carolinaalbamaruganrubio2446]

congrats!!

[@farmertice7064]

When it comes to producing a rich, mellow tone, Zukerman is about as good as it gets.

[@gabrielegiombini]

Bravo!

[@rockhard2654]

im not a violin person, but it seems to me they're talking about shifting around where on each string to bow in order to get the best tone color for each note, which i guess also involves how hard and fast and where on the bow,long with fingerings and shifts so theres lot of things to worry about yeah......this instrument is way too hard

[@nekocafe8420]

Can I ask Who is the other lady in the class? Is like assitant teacher of zuckerman?

[@thatoneguy8064]

she's annoying

[@tullochgorum6323]

Helena, you're a wonderful musician but as a yoga teacher I can see that your chest is badly collapsed as you play, throwing your neck forwards in an unnatural position. The viola is an injury-prone instrument, and if you play like this throughout your career you will be at significant risk of neck or shoulder injury. I would strongly encourage you to consult an experienced yoga, Alexander or Feldenkrais teacher so you can correct this.

[@jmc10strings]

Unfortunately this often happens with the viola which is an instrument larger and heavier than the violin. One must be attentive to his position while playing. Tips from PZ very interesting on the basic technique, a little different than that used in europe (especially in france). I have already seen this taught by a Canadian. (sorry for my english...) ;-)

[@greenleaf5206]

I thought it was bruch at the beginning lol

[@annamogul3724]

Who is that annoying woman screeching in the background? She's squarking over the top of the Master!

[@sarahdubois2386]

Anna Mogul the "annoying" woman is most likely her full time teacher who is responsible for developing Helena's talent. she's there to make sure Helena get's the most out of the session.

[@coprhead6]

Anna Mogul Her name is Patinka Kopec. Weekly lessons are taught to the Zukerman Performance Program class by Patinka Kopec, who has been personally selected by Mr. Zukerman to be his sole teaching associate and the program coordinator.

[@sarahdubois2386]

just as I thought- the teacher is so important and emotionally invested in the student

I was having the same thought😂😂

[@ferencgabor1363]

She is Patinka Kopec, long time assistant to Mr. Zukerman´s classes.

[@RK-do8ug]

Zuckerman made his recent symposium at Juilliard extremely awkward by making culturally insensitive, stereotypical and ignorant comments about young musicians who are Asian or Asian descendants, which wasn't the first time. As a result, Juilliard decided to withhold posting the video for public with apologies. I found older videos of his master classes where he mocked and stereotyped a specific ethical group of young musicians at Juilliard. I have zero tolerance for racist and ignorant people even if they are world's greatest artists and masters.

[@nickyork8901]

Good point, and racism should be challenged. He made a mistake. Have you also ever made a mistake? Have you also contributed anything to music and culture across the world on the level of Mr Zukerman?

[@RK-do8ug]

@@nickyork8901 Mistake? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣You don't make mistakes when giving speeches and final remarks at a symposium with 100 global audience members watching. When you say Asian people have no DNA to sing or they should use more soy sauce in their performances or fixing a student's posture by mocking Asian string players, you don't mistakenly say that. That is completely intentional, which reflects your deeply rooted view on certain group of people according to psychology. Have I contributed to the world of music? Of course, I have although I didn't know my contribution to the world of music gives me rights to mock musicians who are not from my ethnical background and be forgiven because it was just a mistake. According to your theory, I have all my rights to mock you and your people because I have won international and national music competitions, have performed in 11 different countries, have taught music to orphans in Kenya and Cambodia with a donation of recorders from Carnegie Hall, and have volunteered to teach music to children who are mentally challenged. Where are you from so I can make fun of you and your people? I will be forgiven and understood anyway because ignorant people like you will tell me it was a mistake. Does this sound morally alright to you? Please, please tell me where you are from. I can't wait to make fun of you and your people and I am really good at that 😂😂😂

[@RCMasterCS]

R K, shut up, fragile dog, cry more 😊

[@richtrophicherbs]

He also famously made ignorant dismissive remarks including the word sh*t about period instrument players. OK, he's a skilled player, but this doesn't give him the right to be an a**seh*le

[@chrollo-want-hisoka]

racist out

[@garrysmodsketches]

Nice display of asian fragility here

[@DearTime911]

Don't take his lesson unless it's free of charge lol his bowing is worse than the average players out there he's just overrated by support from his country. Research he barely became a joint award winner by a Jewish judge claimed to compete again to make him a winner. Meet ask him if that has traumatized him for his career to play the viola not violin.

[@nickyork8901]

Anti-semitism is alive and well. I have seen him live and marvelled at his bowing and sound.

[@gotsukenj5358]

@Salo Kin Anti-semitism isn’t tolerated but anti-Asian is fine and acceptable, that’s your theory, huh? What a wonderful world,,,.

[@garrysmodsketches]

You need English lessons

[@joa8593]

You're a fool. Zuckerman is racist and (ironically) somewhat uncreative as an artist, but for all that his bow arm is *fantastic.* I would even argue he's so famous despite his various flaws because his bow arm is just that good, few can make such a beautiful sound.
