In these videos many teaching points from Mimi Zweig and Shinichi Suzuki are included:
- shifting exercise up to the high dot and downwards
- left hand pizzicato
- harmonics
Harmonics – clear, flutelike, pure tones – can be a wonderful aid in the search for a perfectly pure sound. Ivan Galamian believed that: ‘Harmonics are as much a bowing problem as a left hand problem’. Beginner students can be encouraged to use more bow when playing natural harmonics and to change the contact point closer to the bridge.
Sheet music and audio files can be found in our new Online Media Library:
