For all you Suzuki violinists out there, I wanted to produce professional level recordings that you could listen to and watch on KZbin. Listening is how your ear develops a sense of quality tone so it's critical to choose your recordings carefully. I often recommend to my students and parents that they put it on repeat and fall asleep to the recording. The brain processes and learns even while sleeping. Happy listening!

Your voice inflection is fascinating - it goes downward from a normal tone to a vocal fry. I've never heard that before. I find it quite pleasing to listen to. You should get into voice acting! Question though, you say the bicep is important to its origination - but the bicep should never be tensed/flexed, right?

[@priceviolinacademy]

That’s so nice! I actually did think about my voice inflection right when I started making vids because I felt that I sounded monotone so that’s really nice to hear. As to your question, it’s a good one. If you want to get into the nitty gritty, some element of muscle use is required for everything we do on the instrument, BUT the amount is so minimal that it’s counterproductive generally to talk about it. Usually people just have way too much tension. So the true answer is that there is slight muscle twitch in the bicep, but if you notice it, it’s probably way too much. Definitely not what most would call tension. Hope that helps!

@@priceviolinacademy Yes, that helps immensely! Another thing I need to work on, then - one of the few times I dislike playing viola, due to the size 😕

[@priceviolinacademy]

@@ab-zg8pt Yeah! It does make things a bit more challenging for sure.

Hey! I’m hoping not too much is lost in translation. If you’re finding it difficult to add the bow to your vibrato I’m assuming your vibrato is shaking the instrument. If that’s the problem, I’d recommend focusing on applying as little pressure to the finger as possible and also ensuring that you’re not squeezing the neck. Hard to give great advice without seeing you vibrate but hope that helps.
