The series of educational videos from violinist Nicola Benedetti makes a return
The Benedetti Foundation today announced the return of the ‘With Nicky’ Series - an online series of educational videos from violinist Nicola Benedetti that provides information, guidance, and support for musicians throughout their musical and personal development.
Each video will be released on the first of every month starting today at 10am, and available on Benedetti’s You Tube channel.
The first four videos will cover the following topics:
- Bow Hold, released on Monday 1 March
- Bow Hold Part 2, released on Thursday 1 April
- Left Hand, released on Saturday 1 May
- Shifting, released on Tuesday 1 June
To watch the first video, see below:
Live ‘With Nicky’ Mini Sessions
Each month, Benedetti will deliver two live Mini ‘With Nicky’ Sessions based on the topic of that month’s video for both young people and adults. The sessions will take place on Zoom and there will be a fee of £9 but full financial support is available, and no one will be prevented from attending due to financial circumstances. Recordings will be made available to those who can’t attend live.
