Many talented violinists are skilled in both violin and viola playing and aspire to explore bass parts as well, however they don't have the time to learn the cello as it means they would have to learn a whole new technique. To support these exceptional talents, I've revived and reintroduced the Violoncello da spalla to the concert stage. This allows these extraordinary musicians to take on bass parts, significantly expand their repertoire, and experience an even deeper sense of artistic and personal accomplishment by bringing a whole page in our cultural musical legacy back to life.

After four decades in music, I’ve discovered that even top-talent violin, viola, and cello players could achieve even greater success. They possess brilliant technique, musicianship, degrees from prestigious music colleges, have produced albums, won competitions, and sent out countless proposals, only to find that there are more musicians than promoters and concert organizations can accommodate. To support musicians in achieving success intentionally, I’ve developed my specialized program, known as The Professional A.R.T.I.S.T. Pathway. This program reveals proven strategies that can help any musician unlock greater success. These strategies are also detailed in my books on Da Spalla and On Fine Violin Making.
