This session will introduce strategies to develop shifting and vibrato technique. Basic shifting movements can be taught from the first days of instruction when establishing left hand position. The purpose of introducing the basic shifting movements early is to help foster freedom and flexibility in the left hand, and to develop a broad conceptual framework of the fingerboard. These shifting movements will also provide the foundation for developing vibrato. Simple and easy games and exercises that you can introduce in the first several years of instruction with video examples will be introduced.
