Lessons include: The principles and importance of visual intonation Left hand technique and practice habits The psychology of violin playing Right arm technique including santille, spiccato, martele, ricochet, and more Interpretation of pieces for performance Technical analyses of complete violin concerti, including works by Mozart, Mendelssohn, and Tchaikowsky For dedicated and ambitious violinists, this is a book to be studied, read, and re-read.
