Rhythmizing The Bow

This instructional program teaches violinists, viola players, and cellists the skills they need to bow with rhythm and natural spontaneity. By learning about scoops, wows, pings, inflections, placements of slurs, and where to leave silences, musicians will gain a greater control over their bowing, and infuse their playing with more life. In addition to these phrasing techniques, viewers will receive lessons on several rhythm-related topics, including: two against three, the off beat, and syncopation. At one hour in length, RHYTHMIZING THE BOW contains over two dozen warm-up games, and ear-training exercises.
