Molly Carr walks violists through her new transcription of Dounis' Daily Dozen exercises, discussing the physical and mental improvements she's noticed in her own playing since making them a regular part of her warmup, with lots of tips and tricks to super charge your own warmups and use Dounis safely and effectively. You can read more about her here : www.molly-carr...

Just discovered Dounis, mentioned in Strings magazine. I have been doing Simon Fischer's warmup a year or so, and felt I needed something different. I really appreciate this video demo. It is a fine intro and ice-breaker for the sheet music. Thanks!

If it makes sense to you, you are ready. Just don't spend too much time on each exercise and skip the ones that don't feel good or don't make sense yet.
