Brief Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction and straight bowing exercisesDescription
In this chapter we will start with learning to make a beautiful sound. Straight bowing, as it is called, can be tricky to master, so I edited and recorded 7 progressive exercises by Nicolas Laoureux for you to practice along with.
Along the way you will learn:
How to hold a violin and bow in a relaxed manner
How to tune your violin
How to use a shoulder rest
Right hand flexibility and strength
The names of all four strings
How to create a beautiful sound on all four strings
From easy to complex string crossings
Several different rhythms
Slurring strings
Double stopping
After the third exercise, you can continue working parallel with Chapter 2: The finger patterns
