The Strum Bowing Method presents a clear and comprehensive approach for string players to easily learn how to play and teach the grooves in contemporary popular music. Popular music relies heavily on a strong background rhythm, or “groove.” Contemporary grooves are foundational to the study of guitar, drums and other instruments, and are essential to playing in jazz and rock ensembles.
String playing, however, comes largely from the classical tradition grounded in 18th and 19th century European music. The result is that young string players are not being taught how to play the music of their own contemporary musical culture. The time has come to retool our playing, for ourselves, for our students, and for the greater groove!
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.
