String Groove^™

Ideas for Improvising

Edgar Gabriel has created a system to teach improvisation, fiddling and other styles of music not usually taught with the traditional classical repertoire. He calls this "String Groove™" which he teaches in courses and workshops throughout the country.

Until now, there has been very little training in this area for string players, and there is a shortage of violin players with the above mentioned skills that have good tone, technique, and reading abilities.

This training is ideal for students who have the following minimum musical knowledge and want to explore other possibilities on their instrument: Suzuki Book three completed (or equivalent), Some knowledge of third position, Music reading abilities, Some knowledge of key signatures.

Edgar also gives workshops for students with one year playing experience or more (Suzuki Book One or equivalent). Professionals and very advanced students who wish to be professionals have also benefited greatly from String Groove™.
