Playing in tune and producing a clear, consistent sound are two of the biggest challenges violinists face, regardless of experience level. This 90-minute workshop offers an opportunity to revisit these essential skills through focused exercises, guided listening, and individual feedback.
We'll explore how intonation works on the violin, how to recognize when notes are in tune, and how bow speed, pressure, and contact point influence the sound we produce. Students will work through practical exercises designed to develop greater pitch awareness, improve tone quality, and build confidence in their playing.
This workshop is particularly useful for self-taught violinists, adults returning to the instrument after years away, and beginners who want to develop stronger listening and playing habits.
Developing pitch awareness and recognizing intonation issues
First-position finger placement and intonation exercises
