In this new educational series "Vengerov's Views", I cover key topics which come up frequently in my masterclasses, chosen to mirror the journey of learning. It all starts and ends with the source, the music, and understanding and telling the story behind it. And then along the way, as performers we must overcome some technical challenges to be able to bring our musical ideas to life.

The examples in these videos are chosen to complement written articles, where I explain the concepts in greater depth. It has been an interesting challenge to write for the first time some thoughts about my approach to music and playing the violin let me know in the comments what you think!

Part 2: Developing your own sound
As a musician, your sound is your identity, your fingerprint. The sound of any great artist is instantly recognisable, because it is so individual. In the same way, we recognise someone we know on the telephone because their voice and manner of speaking is uniquely theirs. Developing your sound is an important step towards becoming an artist and discovering your own musical personality.

In Part 2 of this series I share some thoughts about what "good sound" means, developing your sound and your imagination, and technical considerations for sound production.
