Showcase Your Group's Technique and Musicality

It's About Time!
By Carrie Lane Gruselle

Inspired by the clock of Westminster Abbey in London, students will study contrasting articulations and styles: legato, detaché, staccato, accents, and pizzicato.

Nocturne (from A Midsummer Night's Dream)
By Felix Mendelssohn / arr. Richard Meyer

This famous "Nocturne," based on Shakespeare will provide a chance to develop a beautiful, legato playing style.

Blues Fiddle on the Fringe
By Julie Lyonn Lieberman

This upbeat musical romp with the blues gives students an opportunity to master the dotted quarter note, syncopation, and subtle dynamics.

Artistic Quality and Technique

By Kirk D. Moss, Ph.D

String performers and teachers regard Ivan Galamian as one of the greatest violin pedagogues in history. Galamian’s system seemed to work regardless of how much or how little natural talent a student possessed, prompting the former first violinist of the Tokyo Quartet to famously joke that Galamian could make a violinist out of a table.
