Originally 29.95, now $20.Techniques for the Contemporary String Player: Part I, The Bow Hand, Part II, The Left HandWhether you want to learn a new style, be ready for anything that comes up at a jam session, or meet the demands of new orchestral scores with ease, this DVD will help you develop the necessary right- and left-hand skills. Julie Lyonn Lieberman has examined the technical demands of all the alternative styles including blues, swing, rock, old time, Celtic, Cajun, Cape Breton, Flamenco, Gypsy, and Latin, to name a few and organized the most essential skills into one DVD."Lieberman covers a lot of territory not just in the world but on the instrument - four essential bow control techniques, ten approaches to rhythmizing the bow, stylizing vibrato, working with chords, ten approaches to ornamentation, and much more. However, what struck me in the end was how inspirational her approach is. Balance reigns here, as evidenced in her emphasis on principles rather than rules. I admire and respect what she has achieved in these videos! and enthusiastically recommend them both.

I want to thank you for the special contribution you made to a very successful workshop. I especially appreciated the excellent performance you did on Sunday evening. Just great! Bravo and Brava!! I particularly appreciate your knowledge of musical styles from around the globe, your ability to demonstrate them authentically, and your effectiveness in sharing them with an audience. The presentations on Monday were excellent as well, with meaningful handouts and good connections with the participants. Thank you for a great kick-off for the week!

Julie, this Facebook is a miracle, because, of musical pedagogues, you are a Titaness, and I can’t believe I am speaking to someone of such talent who has authored books and thoughts that have guided me so profoundly in my entire life outlook … not just musically.
