ViolinClass Hello! Could you do a video on string crossings and separate bows as well? That somehow seems to be a whole different issue... Thanks!

I truly appreciate this very basic yet important lesson in string crossing. I've never heard anyone explaining it quite like this: to actually prepare to string cross, rather than just to cross it without mindful preparation. Thank you very much!!

[@Maconochiejohn]

I say too have a technique even if your teacher had a different way… do the same thing your owE WAY 😊

[@Maconochiejohn]

But I play piano and drums

[@christophe2570]

Honestly the best explanation you could get ...I was just trying to cross quickly and it was terrible

[@antonioromera8880]

What most impress me about your teaching is not only the topics you explain but the way you make me think about. Thanks sincerely.

[@TomLQ]

Finally a mentor that's well composed and professional instead of young KZbinrs making jokes with classical and pushing views. 100% quality, straight to the point, so thank you.

[@keepopenminds]

My trainer missed on all these basic trainings.. I am learning something from you now ..thank you..

[@finalform4971]

I keep commenting on a lot of videos 'cause you're just that awesome. Every video, I get so much info. You get right to the point. It's just so much to love within an instructor. ; ; tyty for putting on youtube for us. Modern time so cool. You can make one video and educate thousands

[@sophielee570]

Came across this video as an adult beginner, it's very helpful, thank you!

[@the.travellingsurgeon]

Thank you ma'am for all your excellent lessons and videos, with special focus on basic foundation, which has never been taught to me sadly. You are a teacher extraordinaire! I have been through many violin teachers in my life and yet had to begin afresh last year in my mid thirties. I am truly glad to have found you!

[@ViolinClassUSA]

I am glad to hear that!

[@lannguyenkim1317]

Thank you so much Lady Bushkova.

[@HuyHoang-bw8lz]

Thank you professor! Regarding my string crossing I've always felt something was wrong, and I couldn't get the part where the string changes as "smooth" as the notes played on one string. I looked it up, saw you video and it opened my eyes! My teacher didn't talked about this at all. He must have thought it's too basic. I've been going back to the basics and applied what you've taught, and I noticed significant improvement on my string crossing, it's gotten smoother now without the akward "accent". Thank you!

[@Chasestringsmusic]

This Channel is the best!Thanks so much for the video, cant wait to practice!

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

I love this video. Your violin instruction is so good. String crossings are what I have been focusing on of late and this is right on point and so helpful. Thank you!

[@SemyonKrylov]

Спасибо вам, огромное! Вы делитесь бесценными знаниями! В каждом вашем видео просматривается громадный опыт и любовь к делу!

[@ViolinClassUSA]

спасибо за теплые слова!

[@billbaker8685]

thanks Julia you have helped me a lot

[@verak2924]

Спасибо, Юлия, за ваши очень полезные лекции. Особенно нравится, что вы не грузите всё сразу в один урок, что позволяет последовательно и методично овладевать инструментом. Я несколько пронеслась галопом и поняла, что смысла в этом нету. Откатилась назад и учусь как это следует делать. Наблюдаю прогресс каждый день, и это радует. Спасибо!

[@aihuazhang8463]

I really appreciate these wonderful, inspiring lessons!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@simsfairytales9589]

I always love to hear the beautiful tone of your violin. Thank you for keeping the techniques simple. They give me confidence as I implement them into my practicing. I am a senior who began to learn to play, along with my grandson, whom we have been raising, enrolling him when he was a young child in the Suzuki program. He is now 15.

[@ViolinClassUSA]

You are so welcome!

[@priscwy794frag]

I have problems with lady Bushkova lessons. First trouble is her lessons are so interesting that I took my violine out of case to be ready as soon as she present them on youtube, or when I frequently take it to practice based on her lessons or inspired by. Second, her lessons, although quite basic, are obviously beautiful bases for much advaced violine techniques. Although my spare time is gone with these exercises, thank you Misses Bushkova🙂

[@batlin]

This is so helpful. I realise now that I have no idea where my elbow levels are, but now I have a good guideline and will check in a mirror while doing this exercise.

[@dayaneoliveira1122]

Your lessons are all so valuable, thank you so much!

[@wobblyorbee279]

OMG THANKS! you dont know how helpful is this to me... THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@ViolinClassUSA]

Glad it helped!

[@haveanicetime]

Vielen vielen Dank!! Sehr klar!

[@daviddobrydnio1746]

Thank you for this intro on string crossing. I have a book series by Nicholas Laoureux and he may have suggested minimizing movement with the plane of the wrist. This book is a practical method for violin and doesn’t elaborate the way you do. Your efforts go above my expectations and may help me realize the great joy of going beyond the level of a beginner even though I’m just a late adult beginner.

[@ViolinClassUSA]

Glad to be of help

[@bradykelso8682]

Such a helpful video. Thank you, Professor!

[@user-xk9go1xs8q]

[@ClasesDeGuitarraCL]

¡Excelente maestra, me quedó muy claro! Saludos desde Santiago de Chile.

[@Perfect.O]

Wow it helps me a lot. thanks!

[@ishmaelnettles8028]

Thank you for your explanation of how to use a bow for us beginners I think you so much

[@persistentviolinnoob126]

Thank you very much, Professor.

[@DieterLo1]

That was very helpful. I started while in six weeks ago and just was thinking about that problem how to solve it to go smoothly from one string to the other. Thanks for your explanations! Greetings from Germany!

[@prashantinerellapalli]

very helpful thank you!

[@rajeev6200]

Thanks madam for this good bowing training

[@soufianemgInk]

thank you so much

[@zıpkın_balık_avı]

thanks much im a newby and clean string crossing is my problem , working on it

[@deperonnet]

Anticipating string crossing and playing a tune singing the notes and working only with the bow on plain string (without fingers left hand on string)

[@ReincarnatedViolinist]

I love your videos Julia, you're so awesome! I started learning the violin just a few weeks ago, but I'm progressing really fast. It also helps that I have a perfect pitch. My only problem now, aside from tempo, is crossing from E string to Re on A string without stopping. I always need to stop. Otherwise, it screeches. Can you help me? 🙏 Thank you Julia

[@bradykelso8682]

Thanks!

[@ViolinClassUSA]

thank you!

[@coolasaarge]

Amazing. Thank you so much.

[@ViolinClassUSA]

You're very welcome!

[@PintoSixty]

Do you have a video on crossing from E to D or A to G, or even G to E??? Are these types of crossings rare? Also, thanks for posting this video. I learned quite a bit. And, you posted it on my birthday!! Happy birthday to me!

[@teddywang69]

0:40 check elbow level 1:58 4 center levels 2:28 6 near levels (preparation level) 3 double string levels (not introduced in this video)

[@gguitar141]

Thanks your video. I want to ask a question, when I play e note on A string use my little finger, the bow space (up and down) is very narrow and I am very easy to touch E or D string. How can I overcome this? Do my little finger need to slightly press down E string to avoid touch it?

[@AidanTheLoverBoyOhDwyer]

nice techniques madam a string and d string are still pretty tricky for me though

[@neseligezmeler1970]

Thanks 👍

[@viorelbadoi8692]

If we are in the lower half of the bow and play in detachment and in a fast tempo, how do you recommend the movement? Does the elbow remain somewhat stable placed between the strings and will we make the movement only from the hand (i mean from the upper part of the arm)? or how do you advise?

[@ViolinClassUSA]

I would not recommend being in the lower part of the bow in fast détaché (if that is what you meant by "detachment in fast tempo"). Fast détaché is played in the middle of the bow. But if you only have a couple of fast notes in the lower half, then it depends on the string crossing. However, the upper arm will always be involved in the lower half, yes. Otherwise, the bow will not stay parallel to the bridge. The elbow 'may' remain stable (and you do string crossings with the wrist), or it 'may' need to move - that depends entirely on the context.

[@nocturnallsnake4228]

Красив. Спасибо

[@michaelreaper666]

Thanks :)

[@zainabaly7623]

I struggle on the finger part. My fingers don’t move fast enough

[@saberanouar]

❤❤

[@philnewton3096]

some left handed players dont change the srings around from gdae to eadg and play on a right handed fiddle with the bow in the left and the fingering with the right hand?! How can they negotiate the e string high positions?!

[@ViolinClassUSA]

I have never seen one so cannot respond

[@christophe2570]

It's doing it quickly wholes playing or string crossing to play a note of 2 then crossing again that's difficult

[@philnewton3096]

They quote the Jimmy Hendrix case -

[@starise27]

I would always rather cross strings than people.

[@peterbaxter8151]

I was taught to breathe in. It looks like the same thing to me.

[@somerandomperson5924]

thank you so much
