This classic book of technique introduces the Galamian system of violin playing. The original edition has been preserved without changes. Galamian's philosophy, principles of teaching, and practice methods provide astonishing results with student after student, many of whom achieved world-class status among the field of concert artists and orchestral concertmasters.
Ivan Galamian, a long-time Juilliard professor, incorporates aspects of the Russian and French schools in an ingenious and logical system. A celebrated instructor explains his philosophy of teaching and practice methods, including the appropriate combination of technique and interpretation. These principles and philosophies, as well as the practice methods, direct proper posture, holding the instrument and bow, vibrato movements, intonation, tone production, bowing patterns, double stops, trills, and many other facets of playing and practice.
Itzhak Perlman writes, "Nothing could give me greater pleasure than to write a few words about my teacher, Ivan Galamian. He was a virtuoso teacher whose violin teaching system was both ingenious and logical. He applied that system to all of his students, and it worked, no matter how much or how little talent the student had -- a true sign of a great pedagogue. This book, PRINCIPLES OF VIOLIN PLAYING & TEACHING, gives us a wonderful insight into Mr. Galamian's extraordinary method of teaching the violin, and I am sure that it will be of great benefit to its readers. I am delighted that this book is being reissued for the benefit of countless violin students and because it is a fitting tribute to Mr. Galamian's lifelong work."
