An incredibly valuable resource.

Fintan Murphy’s approach can’t fail to work magic. A comprehensive survey of bow technique, all the way through from finding a good, flexible bow hold through perfecting sautillé and spiccato to improving tone production with advanced bowing techniques. Incisive, clear, and beautifully recorded, Murphy has a knack of pinpointing the exact train of thought or muscle instruction that will unlock the secret of a particular bow stroke. After five minutes with his section on sautillé bowings I felt a dramatic improvement in my control.

This collection gives a rare and brilliant glimpse into the sequential thought process of a very good teacher. A student of pedagogy will have a field day here tracing the careful development of bowing technique from an obvious master teacher.

The close-up filming is terrific with Murphy and the others clearly demonstrating fine details of how to improve intonation, develop and improve vibrato, and how to practice (always useful). Highly recommended.
