SUMMER VIOLIN INTENSIVE

June 17-21, 2024

 The European Academy of Arts presents a summer violin intensive workshop, led by Gersh Chervinskiy, a graduate of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music and of the Yale School of Music. This program is one-week long (Monday - Friday) and will consist of two daily group classes:

• Violin technique workshop (11 am - 1 pm) - during this class students shall focus on improving their playing technique, and practice an etude/caprice. They will be expected to play the piece at the juried recital on Friday, the last day of the workshop, and shall receive evaluations from the jury.

• Music theory and literacy class (1:30 pm - 2:30 pm) - this class is designed to significantly advance student’s violin playing, sight reading, understanding of different styles, as well as to increase the memorization skills. 

  This course covers issues, such as:

  • How to unlock all scales in a simple unified way?

  • How to measure distances between different notes?

  • How to hear a piece of music without playing it on an instrument (emotional intelligence)

  • How to optimize memorization? (increases memory in every subject!) 

  • How to compose a catchy song, and many other questions 

  We will be studying the structures of music: 

  • Major Scale and modifications

  • Minor Scale and modifications

  • Intervals, simple and compound

  • Note values and time signatures

  • Tonic triad and its inversions

  • Dominant triad and its inversions

  • Most commonly used music terminology
