Strong, Weak, and the art of the bow gesture

Often one of the first things we learn as viol players is the idea of the strong and weak bow stroke, something most of us lose sight of as we advance in our playing. During our session Josh will revisit this fundamental principle of the viol and expand upon it, discussing the use of "bow gestures" and how this approach can elevate your bow technique, leading to better musical organization and expression. The session will begin with some simple musical exercises before applying these skills in consort - no practice required!
