🎻Summer Ensemble Sessions
Assistant Tutor and Collaborative Pianist - Luke Paul Attard

Luke Paul Attard began his violin studies at the Malta School of Music at the age of six and has since pursued an extensive musical education centred on performance and ensemble musicianship. He is currently reading for a Diploma in Violin Performance under the mentorship of Mr. Eric Bugeja, while also receiving advanced instruction in orchestral studies from Mr. Matteo Colombo.
He is an active member of the Malta Youth Orchestra, with whom he has participated in numerous major performances, including Foundation Day concerts and an international concert tour. His orchestral experience has provided him with substantial exposure to symphonic repertoire and professional ensemble practice. He has also served as section leader of the second violins during a Foundation Day performance, demonstrating both musical leadership and collaborative proficiency within the orchestral setting.
In addition to his work with the Malta Youth Orchestra, Luke has performed extensively across the Maltese Islands with various orchestras and ensembles in concerts, liturgical performances, and cultural events. His performing experience encompasses a wide-ranging repertoire that includes standard classical works, film music, and cross-genre collaborations. He has also participated in performances abroad through the Malta Cross Competition and has explored improvisatory performance in collaborative projects alongside Corazon Mizzi.
As part of his continued artistic development, Luke has attended masterclasses with distinguished violinists including Carmine Lauri and Marcelline Agius. These experiences have contributed significantly to the refinement of his interpretative approach and technical development as a performer.
Alongside his violin studies, Luke also studies piano with Ms. Galina Antariuk and classical voice with Dr. Andriana Yordanova at the Malta School of Music. These complementary disciplines have further enriched his musical understanding and broadened his artistic perspective.
In parallel with his performance career, Luke maintains a strong engagement with composition, particularly in the fields of orchestral and cinematic music. His experience as a performer continues to inform his compositional outlook, fostering an approach grounded in orchestral colour, structural awareness, and expressive depth.

Bow Balance 🎻

*The teacher/ guardian will touch the bow at the three main areas: a) The Tip, b) The Middle Part, c) The Frog/ Heel, while the pupil identifies which part of the bow is being affected.

This game/ exercise is beneficial towards establishing sensitivity at both the "index" and the "little" finger, to balance the weight of the bow alongside developing awareness in shifting this weight while crossing the strings.

*This feature is being uploaded with the parents' consent.

Dear Parents, Guardians/ Students,

During the summer recess 2026, we will be organizing ensemble sessions for students at the Malta School of Music. During these sessions students will develop their craft towards rehearsing, practising and performing within a group setting, and this will prepare them for ensemble and orchestral playing. During the past years our chamber sessions, nurtured wonderful musical friendships and a strong sense of community has emerged between students - such sessions provided a great source of motivation towards learning new repertoire and improving aural skills by listening attentively to our peers. Chamber sessions will be accompanied by a collaborative pianist.

Further information, including dates, schedule and fees will be announced shortly.

Kindly register your interest in participating by filling in this form.

🎻 TECHNIQUE!
Framework exercise for the descending motion in preparation for the G major broken thirds scale.

1)"Hap-py Bear" checkpoint between the open string and the first finger. (the first two intervals of Happy Birthday).
2) "Doorbell"/ Ding-dong between the 1st finger on the higher string and the 3rd finger on the lower string. The "doorbell" checkpoint is also a possible elementary tool to introduce major thirds both as double stops or broken.
3) Add the 4th finger on the lower string.

*Presented by our student Richard. 🎻

🎻 TECHNIQUE!
"Leopold Mozart/ Geminiani" grip. (Exercise to promote the interdependence of the left-hand).

1787 edition from Leopold's Treatise on the Fundamental Principles of Violin Playing: "Place the first finger on the F of the E string, the second on the C of the A string, the third on the G of the D string and the fourth or the little finger on the D of the G string, but in such a fashion that none are lifted, but all four fingers lie simultaneously on the right spot ..."

*Personally I prefer to start by placing the third finger on the D string, as the note G can be compared to the lower adjacent string, the Open G.
