Li Cello School
Technique Class

"Physics is unforgiving. As string players, we must constantly negotiate with the natural laws of physics to create a desirable sound. Without great technique there can be no true artistry. That is why I believe technique is the single most important aspect to develop early on as a string player."

​​
