I am 92 and I play the viola. I have difficulty with my left hand off and on. After watching Rodney's in 5ths master class my left hand has improved considerably. Thank you Rodney.
One of the best tutorials I’ve found. This method is helping to improve my playing a lot! When the left hand develops a better shape and flexibility everything else seems to fall in place more easily.
I appreciate there are already three excellent presentations from Rodney Friend on this fascinating approach, but please, if you create another one, can we have a camera angle from over his shoulder so we can see exactly the angle his fingers make to the string and how much pad he's using? These are critical details which are really difficult to study in these recordings. Thankyou.
Brilliant technical method!! I was studying the Ciaconne, decided to apply the exercises shown here and with twenty minutes (and the first time doing a full 5ths scale) I could play much better the hard passages of fifths from the piece!
Amazing help with everything from approach to practice to shaping the hand. Exactly what I was hoping to find on this subject. Going to order the book soon.

I hope to be a 92 year old viola player one day. Depends how well I play:)

I would really appreciate that, too.

Now that's a beautiful setting for a video! :D

Really great lesson! Just got the book and this helps me understand the approach.
Bravo! it's a great lesson!

Can we see the hand and the fingers please on the screen - it would be helpful instead of just hearing someone play
