Do this if your arm is too short to bow straight on the violin

Here's how to bow straight with short arms:
#1 Lift the pinky
#2 Don't bow straight
#3 Don't use the whole bow
#4 Push your shoulder forward
#5 (bonus) Hold your violin in a more centered way (not so much to the left), then your arm can reach the straight line of the bow easier.

Which tip was most helpful to you?

[@RedDesertFiddle]

Zlata, your teaching is absolutely wonderful! My student pointed out your 102 Bowing Terms chart, and I started watching some of your other videos. Bravo! Wishing you great success!

Aw, thanks so much for your kind words, dear colleague, I also love your videos! Best wishes for you too!

[@martatessi]

Thank you so much. I have followed your advice and I also find it very useful to place my chin rest more in the center of the violin. About the tailpiece😊

Just saw your twins- they are beautiful best tip permission on adapting straight bow for comfort

[@altolows7635]

I'm teaching myself the viola and I have long enough arms. But the bow is too long when I practice while seated. Do I need to twist around to keep the frog out of my lap?

[@violinlounge]

Playing while seated is definitely a challenge, haha, I made this video about it: violinlounge.com/violin-posture-when-sitting-down-in-an-orchestra-violin-lounge-tv-390/
