Bowed string players tend to be far stronger at controlling and innovating rhythmic ideas with the left hand than playing with accuracy with the right. Years spent with the focus on tuning every pitch and learning melodies has tended to mute strong rhythmic capabilities. This lesson will be about far more than chop technique or strum bowing, though we’ll touch on those techniques. We will provide you with wonderful rhythmic exercises you can use for daily practice and/or for your students if you teach.
You will benefit from decades of rhythmic exploration and teaching techniques shared by Julie and Tracy, including how to integrate stronger rhythmic ideas into soloing, how to play backing lines, and so much more!
This lesson was recorded as part of Strings Without Boundaries, a multi-style string conference operating for over 27 seasons. In partnership with artistic director Julie Lyonn Lieberman, recordings from past Strings Without Boundaries conferences are now available on myTalentForge.
