Violin Techniques - Know Your Bow (exercises in all parts of the bow)

[@haveanicetime]

I was very concerned about you dear Prof. Julia! Thanks for posting again! GOD bless you!

[@ViolinClassUSA]

I am sorry that my absence has worried you. I have been fine, but I did get very busy for several months.

[@haveanicetime]

​@@ViolinClassUSA Thank you very much! I really decided to leave a comment asking about you but I was relieved once I saw your recent video! I said " Thank GOD :D"

I just wish I could express to you how your tutorials are helping me. I am 52 and started violin lessons when I was 11. There were always things that didn't feel correct with my left hand, vibrato and bow arm. I studied under Eastman school of music graduates and still was not resolving some of my issues. Your method of breaking down left hand placement and the proper use of the bow arm has helped me more than my years of instruction. My teachers would say, "but you play beautifully". However, I could internally feel that something wasn't quite right and you have addressed my trouble areas. If I could give you a hug, I would. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me!!

Thank you very much for your comment. Maybe we meet some day :)

The most expressive and clear communication from a violin teacher on the internet! Absolutely superb!

[@saraa.8672]

Impressive! Most teachers they don’t teach this technique. Thank you very much.

[@onlinemusiclessonsadamphil4677]

Wonderful. I'm a violinist brought up with Sammons and Fischer and I really like your instructional videos

Kind regards as always Julia

so proud kak clarissa ❤️❤️

Welcome back professor - as an adult beginner I find your insights invaluable. If you have any exercises that compensate for double-jointed pinkie finger locking during bowing they would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much for your posts - they help my learning far more than anything else I have access to.

Thank you Pro. Julia, once again for this useful demo and exercises, especially for a self taught like me. This will add to my practice list.

[@ViolinClassUSA]

You're so welcome!

[@gustavnordin8690]

The violin was my fathers instrument, but I just fell in love with it.

[@deperonnet]

Very useful exercises, good to see you back Professor !

[@kamlopicker]

Muchas gracias por sus clases! 👏👏👏💜🎶💜🎻

[@trevormelville3633]

I find your lessons very helpful indeed. It has helped me in my practice and I am sure my sound has really improved after trying and getting the feel of the exercises so muscles are moving along the right “rails “without tension. THANK YOU

Wonderful class... Intonation on long notes improved immediately. Though still have the wispies up on highest part of bow.

[@bancholita6678]

Very helpful video. Thank you Julia. This chanel and your teaching are fantastic!

[@viviviolin8206]

Very helpful instructions I’m already hearing the difference. Thank you so much!

[@ViolinClassUSA]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gustavnordin8690]

Prof. Bushcova thank you for the posting. I was captivated by it. I never learned the violin. Thank you for taking your time to post these lessons. I wonder if would get a decent note out of the instrument.

[@juttazipfel7965]

Thank you❤

Amazing 👏

[@boromcom]

Great video.

[@jervilopez1844]

I just thought of applying this to Twinkle variation E from Suzuki book 1

[@IlViolinoNelTaschino]

Useful tips, thanks :-)

[@kenkenpuzzle667]

к сожалению у меня не было в школе таких замечательных педагогов

[@ViolinClassUSA]

Я вас очень понимаю. Я бы хотела у себя учиться. Хотя моя (третья по счету) учительница и давала нам полезные упражнения, она никогда не объясняла их предназначение, или как точно заниматься, как думать, и т.д. Я восполняю эти пробелы для своих учеников. Спасибо за комментарий.

[@amirr.s7805]

Can we use metronome and start with slow tempo in this bow exercise?

[@ViolinClassUSA]

Yes, definitely!

[@kehwa]

That's funny! I do the same exercise with my students!

[@ViolinClassUSA]

That is fantastic! The more of us do it properly, the better!

[@Ciaccona255]

Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of this exercise and how do we apply it in a piece?

[@ViolinClassUSA]

The purpose is to know the bow (as the title says). What every part of the hand/arm/each finger do in each small section of the bow is most important for musical expression. You cannot utilize the bow at 100% if you do not know how you work in every inch/centimeter of it.

@@ViolinClassUSA thank you dear professor
