What if you could talk to every music lesson you've ever had?
Here's the first look at something I've been quietly building for a couple of years between rehearsals, concerts, and lessons: Arco.

For years I watched the best moments of my lessons disappear. The careful walkthrough of bow distribution and rubato in the Tchaikovsky. The breakthroughs in phrasing and sound. As a student and later as a teacher, I tried every system to hold onto them — notes, recordings, voice memos. Nothing worked the way I needed it to.
Arco is what I wish had existed.
When AI finally made it possible, I knew it had to be built. Many lines of code later, it's the first tool of its kind — not just in music, but in education. Today I have over 1,000 lessons inside Arco. It holds my detailed thinking on every topic: the hundred different ways I've explained sound production to different students. And it can draw on all of it: to prepare a lesson, shape an article, even outline a book about my own method. Every lesson I teach makes it sharper. That's what I want for you.
Arco is now live and ready for you! Much more content is coming soon with demonstrations and how-to videos using this powerful new tool.
— What Arco does —
Record any lesson on your iPhone, iPad, or the web. Arco writes the
transcript and intelligent Lesson Notes — then lets you ask your entire
lesson history anything.
• Record live, or import old audio and transcripts
• Detailed Lesson Notes for every lesson. Not just a 'meeting blow by blow'. Deeply pedagogical writing.
• Ask anything, grounded in your own lessons
• Arco draws on two things: your complete lesson history, and the wisdom of the great pedagogues — Galamian, Flesch, Neuhaus, Moyse, Tárrega.
• Lesson Spaces to share progress with students or parents
• Works for every instrument, genre, and language

![Leonid Kogan - Paganini Violin Concerto No. 1 [HD Restoration]
Filmed for Soviet TV in 1981, a year before Leonid Kogans death. I combined all of the clips of Kogan playing the Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major from all of the episodes of the show. The footage has been restored and AI upscaled, and a high quality audio source was found, with correct pitch.
There are a handful of incredibly inspiring (and inspired) renditions of Paganini, such as that of Rabin, Ferras, Hirschhorn, Roman Kim, Gitlis and others, but I still think Kogan is the all-time King of Paganini!
Violin Concerto No.1, Op.6 in D major
00:00 - 1. Allegro maestoso
07:49 - 2. Adagio espressivo
12:43 - 3. Rondo. Allegro spiritoso

![Markov Violin Method for Smarter Scales
Today we’re looking a few very powerful pages from the Albert Markov Violin Method which will make you a fingerboard master and upgrade your intonation. It’s one of my favorite additions to the typical scale system, and my friends, it’s rather simple! Sound too good to be true? Let’s see.
