The aim of the historical approach ("H.I.P.P.": Historycally Informed Performance Practice) is to respect the sometimes narrow limits within which the geniuses of the past found their remarkable freedom. There is always a balance between the instrument, its technical approach and the expression itself, which is the ultimate goal of all our efforts. Beyond the ancient physical postures, knowledge of harmony is brought to bear as a major tool of rhetoric.

In addition to their studies, instrumentalists can take an introduction to the baroque violin to complement their main discipline in terms of style and technique.
