In Violin Secrets: 101 Performance Strategies for the Advanced
Violinist, author and violinist Jo Nardolillo surveys the cutting
edge of current violin technique, combining tradition and
innovation in one volume. Blending traditional strategies that have
produced generations of legendary performers with modern ideas,
Nardolillo reveals the secrets of today's most sought-after master
teachers, garnered through her decade of study at top
conservatories across the nation. With more than a quarter century
of experience teaching at the advanced level, she has refined and
distilled these essential concepts into clear, concise,
step-by-step instructions, complete with original illustrations and
helpful tips. Violin Secrets is an indispensable resource for any
and all serious violinists. The first chapter tackles the toughest
challenge on the wish list of every established professional,
dedicated student, and passionate amateur: understanding why
immaculate intonation is so difficult (and exploring ways to
achieve it). Further chapters address the advanced techniques of
fingerboard mapping, mastering spiccato, controlling vibrato,
playing into the curve, small-hand technique, and navigating
comfortably in high positions. An extensive section on practice
strategies blends concepts from learning theory, sports psychology,
and Zen, and the chapter on artistry offers insight on creating
expressive phrases, connecting with the audience, and developing a
unique artistic voice. Violin Secrets examines overcoming
performance anxiety, choosing the right music editions, being a
strong section player in an orchestra, leading productive chamber
music rehearsals, and winning auditions. Violin Secrets is
beautifully illustrated with original drawings by T. M. Larsen,
musical examples from the standard literature, and a violinist's
family tree that traces these secrets back through to the founding
fathers of violin technique. The Music Secrets for the Advanced
Musician series is designed for instrumentalists, singers,
conductors, composers, and other instructors and professionals
seeking a quick set of pointers to improve their work as performers
and producers of music. Easy to use and intended for the advanced
musician, contributions to Music Secrets fill a niche for those who
have moved beyond what beginners and intermediate practitioners
need.
