When students want more volume, they add pressure. When Christian Kim wants more volume, he adds weight. The physical difference is subtle. The difference in sound is not. Watch him demonstrate.
In this course from Beginner Violin Course Part 2, Christian Kim guides students through Oskar Rieding’s Concerto in B minor, a staple of early concerto repertoire. Designed to reinforce fundamental skills in a musical context, the course focuses on tone production, détaché and legato bowing, early vibrato application, rhythmic clarity, and expressive phrasing. Christian highlights why Rieding’s writing is both technically approachable and musically mature, helping students build confidence while learning how to shape longer phrases, manage dynamics, and play with stylistic awareness across all three movements.
