! Speaking of the study OF the violin,
Earl William Morse, the young Sag
NAV musician, who recently returned
from study in Europe and VIII give
la recital in the Garrick theater; sun
! day afternoon Feb. IL, had the FOL
lowing to say: students OF the violin
are usually under the impression that
the Joachim bowling, advocating the
I low arm, is the only correct violin
howing. A glimpse at some OF the
methods OF our great modern violin
lists would change that opinion. After
going to Chicago to further my
studies. ! was told that my method
of violin bowling was incorrect. This,
OF course. discouraged me at once. Az
ter studying months and months, |
found it difficult to overcome wrong
! habits For, perhaps, two years |
worked with the low bowling, playing
exercises every morning with arm
against the wall and trying sometimes
| To hold book while playing. After
going TO Europe, found that to study
with such masters as Ysaye, Lerato,
| Leopold, Huer, / would have to raise
my arm. Most of my teachers have
been against the old Kochschule bow
ings and have found more freedom
with the higher arm"
