Violin

Technique

• Julia Bushkova's Violin Class videos

  • Absolutely wonderful -- beautifully explained and in ways I haven't seen elsewhere

• "With Nicky" (Nicola Benedetti)

  • Very comprehensive, very professionally done series covering essential techniques from a holistic point of view. It is obvious that Nicola Benedetti takes teaching very seriously -- the videos are pedagogical

• Violin Masterclass with Kurt Sassmannshaus

  • Most comprehensive series of lessons across different topics with videos and notes

• Six Lessons with Yehudi Menuhin

• Video compilation of examples of vibratos of great violinists at normal speed and then slowed down

Useful masterclass videos

• Maxim Vengerov Masterclass @ Blackheath Halls, London, UK (1998)

  • master of musicality and interpretation

• The Heifetz Masterclass Series @ USC, California, USA (1962)

• Masterclass with Glenn Dicterow @ The Music Academy of the West, California, USA (2017)

  • strong pedagogy

• Masterclass with Ray Chen @ AYO, Brisbane, Australia (2014)

  • nice mix of advice on technique and musicality
