Violin Bow Technique
“I was so impressed by the clarity, thoroughness and quality of Violin Bow Technique. I think it is a fantastic teaching and learning tool and I will be sure to recommend it widely.” – Daniel Panner, violinist & teacher at The Juilliard School, New York “Violin Bow Technique by master pedagogue Fintan Murphy is a wonderful resource for all violin teachers. From teaching the beginner to hold a bow, through to advanced articulations such as ricochet, Fintan Murphy clearly demonstrates all manner of bowings. Each succinct verbal explanation is reinforced with a demonstration, and a written description that goes into greater depth. The 130 video clips of selected excerpts are very well suited to each demonstrated technique and come primarily from examination requirements, making it even more useful, The DVD-ROM is remarkable for its simplicity of use with clear, visually appropriate backgrounds and headings. An invaluable resource which can be used by both students and teachers, I eagerly await Fintan Murphy’s next project of Violin Technique for the left hand.”
