THE BOOK

"Violin Diploma Technique: Principles of Talent" is a book that draws on my long experience as a diploma examiner. The book defines five intuitive violin abilities that are essential ingredients for diploma success. These abilities create rapid technical progress and are effective at all student levels. They are searched for at Conservatorium auditions.

EVAN ELSLEY

I am a diploma examiner, UNSW school of music violin lecturer, international performer, adjudicator, and violin author. My violin studio has produced top tier international performers, scholarship winners, diplomates, and performance graduates. 

PRACTICE WITHOUT PROGRESS

• Do you struggle to progress beyond the mid grades?
• Have you failed Diploma exams?

I have used these intuitive techniques in my teaching and masterclasses for many years with consistently exciting results.

RESULTS

TURN PRACTICE INTO PROGRESS

• These techniques work at every level of development. With beginners, the fun of music also includes progress. At the last AMEB session, I had an enthusiastic 8 year old obtain a 6th Grade Credit after learning for 1.5 years with only one lesson a week. 

At my studios in Sydney and Launceston, you will experience the excitement of technical talent—overcoming the problem of practice without progress.

• Capture intonation and co-ordination security
• Harness the natural forces of the bow when crossing strings
• Control changes in directional momentum
• Apply invention to solve technical problems
• Use physical sensations for technical ease

Discover the importance of a thinking technique, a technique of active listening, the use of causal logic. Explore the role of physical sensations and self-discipline.
