Whether you're refining tone or unlocking greater control, it all begins with how you move the bow.

In this short lesson, acclaimed soloist and Curtis professor Benjamin Beilman shares a simple yet powerful approach to Sevcik’s 40 Variations, Op. 3, a classic etude collection that reveals how each part of your right arm contributes to expressive, precise playing.

In this lesson, you’ll explore:

  • How to isolate movement in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and fingers
  • How to hold the bow for agility and control
  • How expressive nuance begins with intention, not pressure
