This is an opportunity to study violin closely with me. To my knowledge, I am one of the only musicians in the world to have an internationally recognized performing and recording career while having started violin at the late age of 16. This is largely due to a novel method that I developed. Let me share it with you!

![2-finger exercise for shifting, vibrato, sound production & high positions [violin technique]
Today we’re looking at 3 versions of a favorite violin exercise of mine. I practice this everyday to warm up my technique and expand my abilities. It’s incredibly helpful for honing vibrato, shifts, sound production and more. The idea of playing only with 2 fingers at a time is game-changing! See which of these 3 variations (by Hrimaly, Yost and Gola) you like the most. By the way, most of my videos have accurate Spanish captions available now thanks to my student Rocio. All videos will have captions soon.
