My initial instruction with Mozolevych involved learning to navigate the fingerboard's upper reaches while maintaining physical ease. she also incorporated visual aids on the fingerboard in the beginning stages, which were instrumental in building precise finger placement before I depended solely on auditory cues. Now, moving to higher positions feels natural and effortless.
