Interview/Demonstration with Joesph Conyers

In this video, Joseph Conyers demonstrates and explains his iconic bow hold. He shares how it has evolved over time and how his approach helps him get that amazing tone. Joseph’s French bow hold is quite unusual, so we dig into the details and share how you can use his approach.

At the end of the video, there's a performance of an orchestral excerpt that features in his new course: Gustav Mahler, Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection", Movement I (mm. 1-20).

Orchestra Chops Vol. 2 features seven popular excerpts including Mahler, Brahms, Mozart, and Mussorksy! Find out more about the course here.
