Today I'll share some essential recalibration exercises that can transform your playing, whether you have a new instrument or want to level up your current technique. The ideas I'm sharing will work equally well NO MATTER what instrument you have.

Thank you very much to Carriage House Violins of Boston for the loan of this magnificent instrument, the 1714 Antonio Stradivari "Kneisel-Grün"! This violin premiered Dvorak's American Quartet, Debussy's String Quartet, and Ravel's Quartet with the historic Kniesel Quartet.
