CHRISTIAN HOWES PRESENTS A FOUR PART TUTORIAL SERIES: If you’re a violinist, violist, or cellist interested in creating your own music, these videos are designed to enrich your understanding of harmony on the fingerboard and give you a clearer sense of the choices available to you as a composer or improviser.

"The best scenario for approaching music is one in which a player has developed a harmonic ear and theoretical knowledge base. One supplements the other. For example, if you hear a chord which your ear can’t intuitively recognize, then you use your theoretical knowledge to make sense of how to treat it. Conversely, when you’re confronted with a theoretical situation that doesn’t make sense, trust your ear. The exercises in the following chapters are designed to develop both."
