Level Up Your Bow Technique: My Top 5 Exercises & Etudes

These are my top 5 bow etudes and exercises ~ for developing tone production and various bow strokes, or just for a maintenance warmup to stay in shape. These exercises are wonderful because they are accessible to/can be adapted for a very wide range of playing levels and abilities. There are many ways to practice these, whether you're an early-intermediate student or seasoned professional.
This video is just a sample of the exercises. A KZbin video won't be as in-depth or as helpful as a private lesson. I'm just a random violinist on KZbin guiding you along your musical journey. However, if you'd like to sign up for lessons or have a free 30-minute trial lesson with me, you can contact me directly here: www.violinna.live/newsletter/

hi! what is this transparent 'thing' you put after the bridge? is it a mute?

[@Violinna]

Yes - actually it's a thick straw! Works quite well for a slide-on mute.
