THE BOOK

"Violin Diploma Technique: Principles of Talent" is a book that draws on my long experience as a diploma examiner. Its purpose is to explain why most students struggle with their technique in the exam room and address the high failure rate at diploma level. The book defines five intuitive violin techniques that are essential ingredients for diploma success. They create rapid technical progress, and their results are sought after at conservatorium auditions.

EVAN ELSLEY

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

RESULTS

• These five techniques work at every level of development, including beginners. The fun of music is greater if students are also taught the foundations of technical talent. At the last AMEB session, I had an enthusiastic 8 year old obtain a 6th Grade Credit after learning for 18 months with only one lesson a week. 

WHY PRACTICE WITHOUT RESULTS?

• Do you struggle to progress beyond the mid grades?
• Have you failed Diploma exams?
• Are you plateauing in your performance degree?

TURN PRACTICE INTO RESULTS

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.
