Menuhin Teaches

on BBC Two England

A series of classes and rehearsals taken by Yehudi Menuhin ranging from beginners to professional soloists.
People have heard the violin, they've seen violinists, but they don't know what goes on behind the sound that is made, how the sound is made, what happens in the violinist's mind when he is playing... (Menuhin in an interview)

Tonight the pupils are beginners at the violin Rosemary Furniss (aged eight) and Nigel Kennedy (aged eight).
Accompanied at the piano by Jonathan Rutherford (aged twelve).
All three are at the Yehudi Menuhin School for musically talented children, as are some of the members of the audience.
