"This is a very detailed and well-structured course. I liked the way the material is organised with each section building on the previous one. Every aspect of how German bow playing should feel, look and sound is well-presented. There’s a wealth of material here, and I can go back and check out very specific topics whenever I feel the need."

- Leslie Baker
"I came to the course as a complete beginner to bowing, and by the end of the course, I was feeling really confident with the bow in my hands. Well laid-out, in short sections, with all the techniques demonstrated very clearly (great camera work!). There's clearly material there for more advanced players, and I am sure I will be returning to it again and again."
- Nuala Tannahill
