The Grossman Method© Newsletter
Happy 2016! The Grossman Method has had a fantastic 2015 and I wanted to share some fall and late summer highlights with you.
Concerto Soloist
This fall included four concerto engagements for me in works of Vivaldi, Haydn, Bach, and Hubay plus a recital tour. Thank goodness for healthy stretching and body awareness to get me through all those notes!
Workshops
I presented the No Pain, ALL GAIN workshop to 160 string students in Midland, Michigan (I do have a loud voice when needed!). The workshop was also hosted at Butler University, Arkansas State University, Marrowstone Music Festival, Aria International Summer Academy and Texas Strings Camp.
A highlight of last summer was the inaugural Full Day String Teacher Workshop held in Austin, TX. In it, we learned about the somatics of string playing, had a teaching practicum, and investigated repertoire and etude curriculum for teaching your students. I am eager to present that workshop in the near future and plans are underway so I’ll keep you posted.
Looking Forward
In addition to the new promo video for The Grossman Method above, I have also uploaded a new video on Violin Brain Breaks in the Featured Stretch located on the sidebar. Please take a look and let me know what you think!
The Grossman Method will be traveling to Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Nevada, Massachusetts and Washington in the next few months. Please keep an eye out for those dates and come and join me if you are close-by.
Thank You
The Grossman Method looks forward to even more amazing opportunities and activities in 2016. I hope our paths cross again this year. Till then, I wish you all a healthy and happy 2016.
Sincerely,
Hal Grossman
