Book Description
Carrying the torch of the Russian violin school that was handed down by towering performers like Jascha Heifetz and Nathan Milstein, Jay Zhong records his pedagorical findings on violin performance in A Violinist’s Handbook, A Simpler Manual to Learn the Instrument. Professor Zhong was a disciple of the celebrated violin master Elmar Oliveira and the noted Russian pedagogue Raphael Bronstein, another pupil of the great Leopold Auer. Zhong’s violinistic talent was discovered and recognized by Nathan Milstein at age 14, and subsequently promoted by concert manager Harold Shaw. Professor Zhong now holds the Violin Professor and Director of String Program position at California State University, Los Angeles.
