Limber Up! 4 Shifting
Limber Up! 4 Shifting
Warm-up as a whole musician, easing blockages and finding fluidity. In Part 1 we will debunk the myth of good posture and explore the life in the back, feet and shoulders. In Part Two we will look at how to move from the core, from vibrato through shifting, integrating both sides of the body, and finding stillness in movement and movement in stillness.
4. Shifting: In this short class we will look at how the movement of even the smallest shift originates in the pelvis and flows through free joints into the string. We will also learn what we control and when we let go so that our shifts are free, accurate and expressive.

5. 5. Vibrato: In this short class we will look at vibrato as a movement originating in the back. We will also look at different expressions of non-vibrato so that, rather than something sugary we either add, or not, to the sound, our vibrato becomes an organic response to our musical intention.

6. Integration: In this short class we will look at how we integrate the left and the right sides of our body through breath so that the movements of both come from a single central gesture which, in turn, comes from our response to the music. In this integration lies the potential to rest, listen, and follow the musical line we are weaving.
