Course Syllabus

<p>Double Stops, Harmony, and String Crossings</p>

<p>In this lesson, Jonah Kim takes us in depth into double stops and chords as they relate to string crossings and harmony. We learn how connected string crossings and double stops really are, and we learn to train our ear to pick out the right things at the right times.</p>

<p>Left Hand Agility</p>

<p>In this lesson, Jonah Kim teaches about building left hand agility and how speed and intonation are related. We learn that when we play fast, we need to have a slightly different intonation than when we play slowly. We study important principles of intonation and their relationship to the musical context and how our hands, when playing fast, must adapt to the context.</p>
