Legato Bowing Mastery: Achieve a consistently magnificent, resonant, and sustained violin tone.

Описание: Legato (Italian for "tied") is more than just a technique; it is the soul of smooth playing. If you admire the sustained, resonant tone championed by Andy Long Violin, this video shows you how to integrate that son filé quality into every note of a musical phrase.

We shift our focus from the moment of the bow change to the entire length of the bow stroke, guaranteeing unbroken sound and a beautiful, consistent tone.

What you will master in this lesson on smooth playing:
Continuous Tone Production: Learn how to maintain the precise balance of bow speed and pressure so the sound never fades or flares.
The Lyrical Connection: Understand how to use your right hand to create the illusion that the bow never stops moving, making the music flow seamlessly.
A "Velvet" Sound: Exercises focused purely on tonal consistency to eliminate scratchiness and achieve that desired smooth, velvet quality in your sound.
Cross Strings Smoothly: Learn how to achieve a smooth transition from string to string.

This lesson is essential for any violinist seeking to move past mechanical bowing and truly unlock the expressive, connected potential of the instrument, mirroring the high standards set by master pedagogues like Andy Long.
