Really enjoyed your lesson on strings. Even though I've been around for some time, 77 yrs, I learned something. Relating up and down bowing to breathing was new to me. But then I'm a reed man. Can you lead me to like articles related to other facits of writing? Carl Thanks much for your help. Really enjoyed your lesson on strings.

My musical experience was choir in Jr. High and High School and briefly in college. I played French horn in 5th grade but then we moved and I didn't play it again. I'm 36 now so I've been out contact with formal music for a long time and I never learned this stuff when I was involved in it. This makes me interested in music in a whole new way. And I have to say, I'm a little annoyed that I didn't learn this stuff when it actually would have meant something to me as far as understanding what I was doing musically. Better late than never I guess. Berlioz,

Your introduction to the basics of "strings" clarified a lot of personal speculation as I've never studied a string instrument. Thanks.
