One of the many hats I wear these days is as podcast coordinator for the wonderful Midwest Young Artists youth music organization here in the north suburbs of Chicago. Their podcast can be found at WMYA.FM. The following episode featuring DePaul University viola professor Rami Solomonow was released in the fall of 2008, and I thought that bass blog folks might be interested in this as well–it’s a great primer on bow concepts and should prove to be interesting to those interested in a different perspective about tone production on stringed instruments.

It is great to hear and see the execution and practice techniques for develping a solid marcato bow stroke and for learning continuous vibrato. And to hear the reasons for learning new music and practicing without vibrato. Solomonow rocks. Thanks!
