Nice to see a good old-fashioned Franco-Belgian violin school collé bowing exercise here on the Talent Forge! Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, and Joshua Bell all practiced this same exercise. My teacher had me do it with Kreutzer etude #7. . . starting at the tip for the first note, moving to the frog for the second. Great for developing balance and control! Well taught, Vi!
Thanks, Doc. I had no idea that it was such a fancy bowing exercise.:)I just knew that it really worked well.
I practiced this excercise along with lesson 1, and then I played a breakdown afterwards, and could tell a huge difference in the way I bowed. I had so much more control…thank you so much for posting these!
That’s fantastic! You are very welcome.
