The Violin Hold - Beginner Lesson 3 - How To Effortlessly Hold The Violin

[@FurAlyse]

I I don’t play as frequently as I used to and I noticed pain immediately within the first minutes of playing and by using your video it helped me re-introduce a better posture to prevent pain, now that I am rebuilding my practice on the violin again.

[@EudoraPrice]

NOW ITS GREAT♥

[@rajendravarma7517]

The best video on the subject.Thanks buddy from India.

Still struggling with this. As soon as I put a bit of pressure on the chinrest, I get a headache. So, I end up holding the violin up with my hand. Won't make progress with vibrato or shifting until this is solved.

[@laurapollock778]

Excellent video. Very clear and well-explained 👍

[@kamikan22]

anyone suffering with the violin hold 2:40 this is the key to solve your problems. But instead of trying to move any muscle, make full breathings expandin your cheast to make the breastbone (and collarbon) up

[@ludwigsugiri4916]

[@urwholefamilydied]

wrong... i've been fiddling (no pun intended) with my violin for a half hour... not only can I not figure out how the hood goes on... but I spent half an hour, possibly to strike frankie. I have no idea how to old this thing.

[@KyleStanley-mt8vz]

Thanks u u help me because I’m playing villon😅😊

[@KyleStanley-mt8vz]

Yes tru

[@langhamp8912]

One of my violins doesn't have a chin nor a shoulder rest. Those two things were invented for very good reasons, but this violin is still very playable. It does absolutely require a bent wrist, but weirdly enough 1st and 3rd position are easily reachable.

[@SimonStreuffViolinEducation]

Until 3. or 4. position It is playable I think! :)

[@jorisArt]

Excellent, thank you!

When I put pressure on the chin rest i got a headache

[@SimonStreuffViolinEducation]

Be careful then. I had times in my life I got also bad headaches but I could always handle the problem with doing more exercises for my back muscles and overall fitness. It is hard to say what causes the pain in the neck area, I would guess something is pinched when it hurts. You could also concider trying different chinrests and shoulder rests.

[@AmandaViolinGirl]

I use a kun shoulder rest.

[@SimonStreuffViolinEducation]

Good choice! :) Thanks for teaching me the pronunciation of the word "thumb" btw. I think in this video I did it better?

[@polluxsimracing3712]

I feel i need shoulder rest but don’t have it so is still doable

[@tasnimulsarwar9189]

Nothing, nothing but pure love and admiration I'v for.

바이올린 들 때 손가락으로 어떻게 받쳐줘야하는지 알려준 유일한 영상...

[@AirTechMechanicalServicesPSEG]

is hard ... but i will get it

[@Lemonremy]

The neck pain is real

[@SimonStreuffViolinEducation]

The violin hold is definitely an intricate one. If you have neck pain I suggest changing the chinrest and/or shoulder rest and checking in with a doctor if it stays.

[@Lemonremy]

@@SimonStreuffViolinEducation I forgot to reply, but thank you for the advice!! I fixed my posture using the video (turns out I realised I never really rotated my head to the right angle and would hold the violin by pressing my head to the side) and I'm gonna get a higher chinrest whenever I can because my violin does not stay straight. Though, neck pain is fixed, so thank you 💛

[@ebonyh21]

This doesn’t help me, my back hurts when I do this
