This is great for making a kind of checklist for postures and right motion, and in the near future just to focus in the notes and sound. Again, great video. So helpful ✨

Excellent -- I'm forwarding to multiple students -- thanks for the content!

Pretty much my daughters problem too, her teacher does not seem to care. Will force her to watch this. Thanks

One of my first lessons was to balance a large old Penny on the back of my right hand ,with long slow bows . If you like spread out fingers have a look at Alexei Korsakov .He had a perfect bow arm .His forefinger always stuck out a bit . a Seriously Russian style . For fast staccato you can forget about the small finger .

Thanks for sharing

Thanks!

[@erictheviolinist]

Thank YOU 😊 🙏🏻

At 10.57 you see the exagerated angle of the back of the hand --just like a film of Jascha Heifetz (Playing Lalo ) with his squashed together fingers. So spread out fingers or squashed up fingers . Who can tell ?

Lateral angle camera view would have made hold more clear to viewers

[@heidifundinger3369]

My difficulty is that I’m a small person and my hands are very small so it’s hard to replicate the holds I see in videos.

[@scariasebastian5347]

Very valuable lessons. Thanks.

You're welcome!

My main problem is that my thumb slips and go through the loop while playing, because you are not supposed to have any tension in your hold. If I don't press my thumb into the wood it eventually slips and my whole bow hold goes downhill from there😢
