Shifting, tone, and Dr. Schmieder and links to previous videos
Shifting is best accomplished with balance and relaxed hands. The ideas on the video are from teacher workshops, institute classes, and my own private lessons.
Shifting exercise video
The exercise below was given to me by Eduard Schmieder when I studied with him in Beaumont, Texas. It is very useful because of hearing the resonance of the open string with the finger shifting.
See more about this remarkable teacher at website for Eduard Schmieder I feel very fortunate to have had a chance to work with him. You can also read about his extraordinary musical journey in the Two Second Advantage. As a prominent musician in the Soviet Union he was targeted in an attack that left him paralyzed for two years and he had to relearn the violin. His natural talent and ability to anticipate the sound and style he wanted gave him unusual musicianship. He is now a prominent teacher and has served on numerous international competition juries.
