Synopsis

'WHEN THOUGHT IS DIRECTED TO THE MOVEMENT OF ANY MUSCLE, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT MUSCLE IS ACCENTUATED IN CONSEQUENCE' - E. J. Pickles .......... This was my first exposure to the philosophy and practice of the Cowling System, back in the '70's. It was way back then that I saw a box ad in a now long-defunct music magazine. .......... 'FINGER MAGIC', the ad proclaimed. .......... The ad went on to explain how this system of exercise could dramatically increase the skill of a musician, maximize his practice time and take him or her to the next level, or levels beyond. .......... This did become true for me, as it did for the following musicians, read what they have to say: .......... 'Many thanks for the lessons I have received. I must say that I am highly delighted with the way my fingering has improved since I commenced your hand exercizes. Recently I became very despondent about my violin playing and almost inclined to give it up, but now I feel it a pleasure, thanks to the Cowling System.' - from: 'The Violinist' Magazine, December 1924 .......... 'I find it remarkable that such a system that made a world of difference in my piano playing as a teenager has gone down the 'plughole'. I wish someone would resurrect these exercises somehow. In 1976, my teacher gave me his copy of all the exercises, whereupon I made xeroxed pages to put in a binder. My teacher was amazed at my progress that in a year I could play, for example, the prelude 17 of Chopin. Kudos to Mr. Cowling, whoever you are. Anybody know who he was?' - rpn58, 2005 .......... AND THIS JUST IN IN DEC. 2008! .......... 'I am excited .. The Cowling system is Wow! I cannot put what I'm feeling into words. I can only say thank you for this amazing SYSTEM.
