I've been noticing that on occasion, someone inquires as to whether there are any valid physical exercises [aside from instrumental ones] which can assist a violinist in achieving greater power and control in the fingers. Well, there IS such a battery of specialized exercises, actually in existence since 1904 or so. It's called the COWLING SYSTEM, and it's available again. Here's the link to an instant download: http://www.e-junkie.com/154180/product/452756.php [copy and paste into browser] This definitely DOES work, by the way. Write me back for more info. Thanks - George Hirsch.
