This spring semester, Gwendolyn’s Scales Flow pay hommage to Rodophe Kreutzer’s famous etudes, the “pain quotidien” of many violinists. This week's focus:
Elbows! Working on arpeggios in E major, we will look at free
movement led from the elbow, assessing the distance between string
crossings, and explore how our body reacts to movement when are ours
arms are engaged in various bow-speed tempi.
Join Gwendolyn Masin every Tuesday for 30 minutes and learn a scale a week. Gwendolyn explains and applies an aspect of technique during every class in an accessible way. Gwendolyn will also spend a portion of time explaining how physical movement can help reduce injury and release unnecessary tension, so essential for liberating you as a player!
Come along, bring your instrument and a sense of curiosity as we proceed to connect those dots on the page. This is a playalong and there will be time for you to explore a scale and ask questions. These are all-levels sessions, though challenging, and particularly suitable for intermediate to advanced players.
