Playing Intimately Within a Small Group
Great musicians can play for the music, adding what is just right and appropriate for the piece and the setting. This is challenging to nearly impossible to distinguish and develop within a large orchestra.
An excellent way to grow as a musician and develop these skills is playing in a chamber group setting.
Studies in Early Technique
Historical studies in technique is a primary driver in the philosophy of what we teach as the pioneers often offer great insights that can be forgotten.
Stringed instruments have a long and storied history. By gaining more exposure to this, especially playing with replica historical bows and instruments can help you grow as a musician.
