[@magicabrilavalos8635]

Omg so beautiful and it makes me feel alive they really teach me stuff I play the viola and they help me a lot thx simply three

[@kbob2854]

Amazing... All of them showed so much emotion...... and passion for their instrument.. particularly the violinist. That said, I couldn't help but notice that her bow wasn't very close to the bridge, or particularly straight. I have been taught to do this from very early on in my music lessons....

[@morganirbs2523]

It does not matter where your bow is placed. It actually is used in technic with doing dynamics like piano and forte, not pressure with the bow. The bow also does not have to be straight.. actually it shouldn't. If it is tightened too much (the stick is straight and the hairs are) then it could be damaging for the bow. Just saying xD

[@kbob2854]

Morganism Ah ok. With the bow being straight, I meant compared to the bridge, so perpendicular to the strings when looking down onto the violinist... Not the tightness of the hair

[@morganirbs2523]

Ah xD stupid me. Yes you also do not have to have it align with the bridge, though sometimes the diagonal placement of the bow happens on accident. Hope this clears up any misconceptions xD Just trying to help fellow orchestral players!

[@kbob2854]

Morganism You're not stupid; I didn't explain myself particularly clearly 😊 Ok thanks

[@isilopekel]

It is very interesting to see that you can do anything you want ONLY after you learn the technique properly. I have seen that the best swimmers does not have the 100% best technique, her small finger looks differently curved and not relaxed, best volleyball players do not hit the ball with the hands close... But they are still insanely awesome. :D I think ... you have to learn it properly then change it with your own style.

[@LouisFrayser]

[@BA-ue8lh]

Ugh.. no. That first piece was repetitive as all heck. Not beautiful. How many times did they repeat the same pattern?

[@jimmatthews5993]

beautiful- but i could grow tired of the guy in the tennis shoes

[@agm5487]

Ok. I play violin, and honestly, the violinist is not in tune sometimes. It's really sad. It would be good, but her intonation is actually terrible

[@ManualNFSW911]

she is awesome
