I sudied with a best teachers in Russia at 80s. My teachers were my futher- viola principal at famous Leningrad Phiharmonic under Mravinsky (google if you don't know it!:) Dmitriy Shebalin (Viola of Borodin Quartet) And Yuri Bashmet. I know a lot about how your body and hands should work freely to let you express yourself and really make music. And also how to make you think independently about phrasing and music process. If you really want to learn secrets of Russian school and beyond , and you motivated- get in touch!
