Explore instruments, bows, sizes, and buying considerations.
Listen before you imitate
Use the performances in this collection to notice phrasing, changes of register, and the relationship between melody and accompaniment. Pick one short musical idea to describe in your own words before trying it on the instrument.
When a technique demonstration interests you, ask your teacher how it fits your current playing. The same musical effect may require a different fingering or bowing in a different passage.
