Violin playing is a complex art that requires great control of an ample range of movements. The careful training of those movements helps violinists gain the ability to express themselves through music. Too often, students disregard the bow arm and focus exclusively on their left hand/arm training. This book is designed to balance this inadequacy. Bow Mastery will prompt students to focus on bowing patterns, soundpoint selections, and bow placement (upper half, middle, and lower half). At the same time, students will be compelled to experiment with bow speed and hand pressure in order to obtain an even sound.Additionally, I urge the student to study the full collection of Sevcik's School of Bowing Technique op. 2 and the 40 Variations op. 3 so that the learning process can be accelerated.It is crucial to be patient. As with every aspect of violin playing, bow arm technique is an infinite journey. It is my wish that Bow Mastery inspires students to master this art, and that it keeps them motivated to learn and grow as a musician, performer, and ultimately as an artist.
