What's Happening with my violin and Fiddler Cove

Currently I'm working intently with Sassmannshaus, Simon Fischer and Todd Ehle videos on:
detache
tone production
intonation
string crossings
sounding point control
, and concave bowing.

I'm also working with Fischer's practice on some basic issues, as well as Wilson's Kreutzer studies. The object of all this is singing tones heel to tip, with bow clean bow returns. I'm also working with Michael Hegeman's video on preparatory movement. 'while sometimes we need a quiet wrist, sometimes we do, need a flexible wrist.'

The site is up and running and there will be a new release shortly (early January or there about). I will have some sigificant additons, and some just nice things to have. A deeper reorganization is in the works that will be finished, well, when I decide how to finish it. Happy Holidays.
