Brief Introduction

A transformative method to learn to play the violin naturally, by letting yourself flow with the sound and music.

Description

In this course, you’ll find an innovative teaching methodology, designed to found the structural basis of violin technique: the functioning of the bow and its control. All the music we can perform with the violin does not come from the left hand’s virtuosity, but from the sound the bow can produce, so the beauty of our expression will be given by it.

This is why in this stage of initiation we will be dedicated to work specifically all the aspects of the production of sound and bow control in a relaxed and natural way, focusing in making this learning experience pleasurable and enjoyable; making music from the very start, whether it is by imitating the compositions suggested or by improvising over tracks designed especially for this initial stages. We will not only work in the production of a clear, full, even and beautiful sound with the entire bow, but also in practicing different rythms and tempos.

With this method you will learn the best way to practice, making your own exercises creatively, and you’ll know how to overcome any difficulty that comes up through simple techniques I will provide. Besides, you will experience your body as the vehicle of sound (and the instrument as its tool), and you’ll be able to connect with the purest aspect of sound and vibration.
