"This course is great, it encourages me to review all technical details and subtleties on using the German Bow. Not only for now, but for many many years to come."

- Jacques van 't Ende

"I was absolutely delighted with the course! The instructor’s knowledge and explanations are superb. He really takes you “inside” the German bow and bowing. I only wish I had had a teacher like this years ago. Thank you, David!!"

- James Warburton

"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."

- Howard Jones

"I like that David presents the ideas and exercises as ingredients to add to our knowledge, things we can think about, develop and use over time growing with understanding of it."

- Leslie Baker
