These neck exercises are so important both for neck and shoulders for any level violin player. Thank you for posting

Tom MC conville did these physical warm ups before actually picking up the violin at his master class at Lewes. He is Newcastle but plays his arrangement of Irish tunes in a very relaxed style. A lot of fiddle violinists are tense when they play . I used to be but now realise I don't need to be. Adam Beanstock

Great! Ah, I thought fiddle players to be relaxed, but I guess all musicians suffer from tension.

Very helpful! I have bands from PT that I do a few back strengthening exercises with. Most important thing I learned in PT was NOT to move so far I was into the pain. Sometimes that means my stretches and exercises don't look like much. But as I continue I become more loose and can move farther eventually. I use Alexander technique to try to keep relaxed while playing.
