:: Art of the Bow with François Rabbath ::

Ball State University Professor and President-Elect of the International Society of Bassists, Hans Sturm, has been awarded the Ball State University Creative Endeavor Award. Awarded in part for his work on the Art of the Bow DVD, Sturm was cited for being “the model faculty member who blends creativity in traditional modes of expression with exploration of cutting-edge pedagogy.”

Michael Fanelli wrote an in-depth enthusiastic review of the Art of the Bow in the November, 2006 issue of the American String Teacher (Vl. 56, No. 4, pg. 112). He concludes:
“The Art of the Bow is one of the most important treatises and state-of-the-art instructional audiovisual tools we have available in 2006 both for the studio and classroom. The scholarship and pedagogical theories rank with the works of Galamian, Flesch, Dounis, and Rolland. One waits in anticipation for the Art of the Left Hand.”
