2.)The feeling of arm weight – being able to feel the arm letting go and relaxing

3.)Flexible wrists

4.Two-note slurs

5.)Weight transfer from one finger to the next

6.)Rotation in the hands, wrists, and arms

The CD for the Lesson and Technique Book is innovative as well as educational. Students learn how to form correct practice habits from the very beginning as well as have the opportunity to play many of the pieces with a string quartet accompaniment (two violins, viola, and cello), recorded live!
