Workshop Descriptions
No. 1 Vibrato Practice - Many ways to refine and change our vibrato
Sunday, January 2
12pm - 1:15 pm
EST
We all love the icing on the cake, vibrato. Many players are looking for ways to convince their hands to move at a different speed, however. We want to be able to vary vibrato according to the musical demands of the piece. This workshop will teach you MANY different vibrato practice tricks and help you trouble shoot when things are not working as intended.
No. 2: Secure Shifting & Navigating the Upper Positions
Sunday, January 09
12pm-1:15 pm
EST
Shifting is not just about getting there, it's about security and confidence - knowing that you will nail the shift effortlessly, every time. In this workshop we will work through shifting practice beyond the obvious and learn ways to trick the body and mind into welcoming the upper positions. You will learn to lighten up, slow down, and embrace the region above the bout. We will do a bit of Sevcik Op. 8 (oh no!) and work on some tidbits of rep. Bring your most intimidating shifts to this class!
No. 3 Ask me anything - bring your spots
Sunday, January 23
12pm-1:15pm
EST
Everyone will get to submit a bar or two for this class ahead of time, and I will show you at least five ways I would practice that bar in question. I'll be your personal practice genie, but everyone will learn from the examples! Practice spots will be submitted via a form 7 days before the workshop. We might go longer than 75 minutes on this workshop :)
No. 4 Practice Efficiency & Fun with Technology
Sunday, January 30
12pm-1:15pm
EST
During this supersession, I'll demo all the apps I can fit in that I use to make practice empowered, efficient and joyful. From desktop apps to IOS/android, I'll let you see the apps in action and have a handout of how you can use these apps in your practice or in your teaching
