Este curso presencial presenta un recorrido de cuatro días por la técnica del violín y su enseñanza con el pedagogo internacionalmente reconocido Grigory Kalinovsky. Aprenderemos estrategias que nos permitirán desarrollar la técnica o reorganizarla cuando sea necesario, con aplicación directa en ejercicios, estudios y repertorio para garantizar la integración en el contexto musical.
