Masterclass Tuesday – Jan. 24th, 2012

Hello, all!

I’m in the process of figuring out how to add some new features to my blog, and the newest one is the one you’re seeing right now. Every Tuesday I will upload a video, snippet, or some other such thing from one of the great performers giving some advice about the instrument. I wanted to start with one of my favorite masterclass videos from the man himself: Itzhak Perlman. If you’re a student of mine, it’s doubtful that you don’t know who this guy is, as I talk about him all the time. And if you’re a professional string player, it’s impossible that you’ve never heard of him.

The following is more of a funny story than a bunch of tips on how to play, but it’s a good kickoff to my latest blog feature. Enjoy!

(Oh, also, there are spanish subtitles and I don’t know why.)
