Lavoce: Our Voice All and Winter Made Their Marks on More Than Fa Few Instruments This Year
OF CLAIRE GIVENS VIOLINS, INC. SPRING 1999 LaVoce: our voice all and winter made their marks on more than Fa few instruments this year. Fluctuating climat- ic conditions in the fall followed by the sudden onslaught of winter and a stint of exceedingly dry air brought many customers to our shop to have a wide variety of concerns addressed, from troublesome e- strings to serious cracks. Caring for string instruments requires attention and dedication on the part of play- ers.Taking preventative measures and paying atten- tion to any changes in your instrument’s sound are crucial (poor sound quality can indicate open bouts and cracks).The two key climatic threats to string instruments are temperature and humidity. Keep humidity levels at 50% (35% at the least) in the room in which your instrument is regularly stored and played. If you use ‘Dampits,’check and dampen them regularly. Do not leave instruments near heating vents, radiators or in direct sunlight.Allow instru- ments to adjust gradually to temperature changes when transported from one location to another.

Part 3- a Sequential Approach to Etudes
Part Three: A Sequential Approach to Etudes by Robert Jesselson The first two parts of this series discussed the benefits of employing an organized and sequential approach for teaching the intermediate string player. With this method the string teacher can create a solid technical and musical foundation for the student, and avoid skipping over important information that will be required for his/her future growth. Part One explored the complex set of skills, knowledge and experiences that a developing string player needs to acquire in order to become a competent musician and creative artist. Part Two of this series discussed the use of organized exercises to address specific aspects of the technique. These exercises, along with the ubiquitous scales and arpeggios that musicians need to master, are the basic building blocks of technique. Etudes then expand on the micro-technique of the exercises. They begin to put the technical pieces together into musical shapes, and should be approached both technically and musically. The current article will explore the importance of providing a good sequence of etudes in order to solidify the technique and facilitate the learning of literature. The repertoire of cello etudes is large and varied, with many excellent studies from which to choose. Besides Duport, Dotzauer, Lee, Popper, Franchomme, Piatti, and Servais, we have etudes by Gruetzmacher, Kummer, Klengel, Merk as well as contemporary etudes by Minsky and others. There are also collections of etudes compiled by pedagogues such as Alwin Schroeder. Although I use individual etudes by all of these composers to address specific issues, I prefer to use a succession of complete etude books in order to immerse the students in a specific technical and stylistic approach by one composer at a time.

History of the Violin
History of the Violin Batchelder violin (USA) The earliest stringed instruments were mostly plucked (the Greek lyre). Bowed instruments may have originated in the equestrian cultures of Central Asia, an example being the Kobyz (Kazakh: қобыз) or kyl-kobyz is an ancient Turkic, Kazakh string instrument or Mongolian instrument Morin huur: Turkic and Mongolian horsemen from Inner Asia were probably the world’s earliest fiddlers. Their two-stringed upright fiddles were strung with horsehair strings, played with horsehair bows, and often feature a carved horse’s head at the end of the neck. The violins, violas, and cellos we play today, and whose bows are still strung with horsehair, are a legacy of the nomads. It is believed that these instruments eventually spread to China, India, the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East, where they developed into instruments such as the erhu in China, the rebab in the Middle East, the lyra in the Byzantine Empire and the esraj in India. The violin in its present form emerged in early 16th-Century Northern Italy, where the port towns of Venice and Genoa maintained extensive ties to central Asia through the trade routes of the silk road. The modern European violin evolved from various bowed stringed instruments from the Middle East and the Byzantine Empire. It is most likely that the first makers of violins borrowed from three types of current instruments: the rebec, in use since the 10th century (itself derived from the Byzantine lyra and the Arabic rebab), the Renaissance fiddle, and the lira da braccio (derived from the Byzantine lira).
