SMOOTH and CRISP articulation with one exercise | Collé motion

Collé motion further develops flexible fingers but in a different direction than the previous exercises. This motion makes it so we can pull the string side to side using only our fingers. Turns out this is VERY important for violin playing particularly as notes get fast.
This is part of a bow exercise series that covers all the foundational movements that your bow hand needs to get beautiful tone and execute a variety of bow strokes. Below is every video in the series and a brief description of what each exercise practices. Happy practicing!

You talk like one of those voice-over actors. Well done!

Wow! What a nice compliment. I’ve been self conscious about my voice in the past but I have randomly been working on getting a better public speaking voice recently so that’s really nice feedback. 👍

Thanks!

Very nice series! Maybe you put this video in the "Right hand technique" playlist? You refer to it in " Up and down bow stacatto", but it is not part of the playlist. Thanks again!

Hey Anton! Thanks for the catch. I just put it in. 👍

Can i ask What was the first piece in the beginning of the video?

[@priceviolinacademy]

Sure! The slow one was the 2nd mvt. of Wieniawski’s 2nd concerto and the faster one was the 1st piece in Suzuki book 4- a Seitz violin concerto. I’m afraid I’ve never learned the Wienawski and I just realized I played it in the wrong key because I was just playing by ear.😅
