As students begin Book 2, they have the fundamental skills of violin playing and are ready for deeper musical experience. The rich emotional palette of Book 2 allows the teacher a diverse landscape for teaching dynamics, whole body movement, and vibrato. These skills will add grace and balance to the student’s Bach and Vivaldi, and will blossom into a passionate performance of Bruch in a few years’ time. Elise Winters will work intensively with teachers in a small-group setting to explore body balance and efficient movement and expression.
