Please note that I’m a folk musician and fiddler, and I don’t consider myself a classical violinist. In my experience of the folk tradition, techniques tend to be somewhat informal, variable, and flexible, so take what I say with a grain of salt :) My thoughts on fiddling are based on my own personal musical experience. If you’re looking for more formal violin technique and instruction, there are other resources out there that are geared towards that!
These videos are not intended as a substitute for the advice of a medical professional (when it comes to any thoughts on techniques such as posture, hand placement, etc).
Happy fiddling, friends!

Good video. It was helpful. You reminded me that I need to start relaxing the bow more. Thanks.

Super tutorial lovely Augustine violinist from Malaysia

[@source4magic]

OMG that brings me back to when I used to live next to people who loved nothing more than riding their mower all day 9 months of the year. Very good video, thanks.

[@LizFaiellaMusic]

lol It's always something. Either lawnmowers or fireworks, I find.

[@StidhamFamilygospel]

Really good!! Thanks, Todd

The violin can sense fear? LOL..I believe that

[@RobertShulerMusic]

A very cheerful video. Until I started practicing it. My bow does not find anything. It's ... just an inanimate object. Beginners will get nowhere unless they use one or more of the following tricks: Play on edge of hair which has more give, and widens the angle over which the double stop works; play near the fingerboard where the strings give more, which not only widens the angle but plays software and less squeaky - when playing two strings you don't need as much volume; memorize the piece and look at the strings where you are bowing (generally works only for young people); tension your bow lighter, which will increase the hair give for a fixed playing pressure; or as a last resort press harder, and just be firm and not hesitant to avoid squeaking (which is somewhat similar to the advice in the video).

Why do you hold the bow so high?

[@gailvcrawford2476]

I was wondering the same 🤔

[@robpool7814]

She loses credibility when I see that.

[@lowellirish]

@Rob Pool because she can! There's "school taught" ...and developed skills. Over time, fiddlers find their own comfort places! Notice also she doesn't always use her chin rest...I live in Northern Appalachia - there phenomenal fiddlers here. World class...literally. Ever hear of Buddy McMaster? let's move on, hope he didn't lose any credibility with you 🤣😉

[@MrPhildorado]

You clearly don't listen to folk music. I would say most fiddle players have a bow hold that's further up the stick. It affects the tone but mostly the balance. Folk music has specific bow movements that can be more easily and are historically made with a different bow hold than what is classicaly taught. That being said, some of my favourite fiddlers play with a classical hold...but most don't.

Write double stop notation on finger board like-- c d e f g a b c , hope you understood, please do the needful, i learn violin but I have no teacher,

[@AVToth]

You have good advice and I appreciate it. But, I pay for watching this and you say, at the beginning of the videos, where the music can be found to go with this video. What is common is that the music for the video is free. For additional music it is a pay for. But none of this channel provides anything to go with this lesson. I understand people are trying to make money but more and more premium you tube is becoming a way, without being interrupted with commercials, to find out where to buy the rest of what you are watching. I went to Patreon, filled out everything, then I was given the price list. This is but one oof many, MANY channels. As I said at the start, your advice is good but it also gives the misunderstanding of available music at no additional cost.
