3 Essential Improvisation Tips especially for Violin Viola and Cello players

February 16, 2013 at 6:13 PM

Violinists, violists and cellists often find improvisation to be difficult, and I have some ideas about why.

I've made this video to help explain why it can be difficult, and also to give you three ideas for how to get started, or to improve your improvising.

I hope you find it useful, and if you do, I welcome your comments!

Love,

Zlata
Violinist and Skype violin teacher at Violin Lounge
