"I want to work on technique so that I can be more expressive with my playing." Music to my ears! This was the statement a high school student made following our most recent violin recital.
At first I was marveled with her insightfulness: a young student made the connection between technique and self expression. I had falsely assumed that young students tolerated technique until they could get to the part of the lesson where they could play their song!
Adult students come from a different point of view. They work diligently on technique to the point of "sounding technical" and lacking in self expression!
The question is - how do we successfully marry self expression and technique?
