I am so glad I watched the right hand segment. There are so many incorrect bow holds out there! Thank you, Julia! I learned so much about how vital the memory is with movement!

[@DanielKurganov]

Good information! Thanks for sharing it. Professional weight lifters/arm-wrestlers sometimes fill a bucket with rice, dunk the hand/forearm in, and twirl and twist everything around in different ways. Great resistance training!

[@ViolinClassUSA]

What a great tip! Thank you, Daniel!

[@rafa_beirigo]

These videos are great! Please do one on myofascial release. Thank you ❤

[@conniechan3280]

Thanks GOD LOVE YOU❤

[@thecatofnineswords]

Really appreciating these videos. My forearms have issues (RSI related) and while I have been doing exercises to recover, nobody has ever shown me these violin targeted exercises. Were I in the USA, I would definitely visit!

[@gabrielerolla4636]

Very interesting and helpful, it is so rare to have this insight. Thank you so much! I'd like very much to see some rehab training exercise for finger indipendente. Specificcally I can't really extend (get it straight) third finger without extending pinky (keeping it curly). I'm not sure if this is a common problem, but surely when it occurs it stops improvements. Thank you very much for you great channel!

[@ViolinClassUSA]

Do you mean, you cannot straighten your ring finger while keeping the pinky finger curled?

Thank you for this video.

Muchas gracias por excelente y valiosa información....

[@MingjiChenMichi]

hi I'm also violinist. I love your video a lot. But recently I got few questions about hearing problems with play violin. I hope you can have a video for that also. Happy new year and wish all the best❤

[@wannabecat369]

A most interesting (and horrifying) problem! The scientific evidence suggests that one should not practice too long for a stretch, and wear a good pair of earplugs, or at least stuff some cotton-wool into your ears. I actually find it painful to play without. While i am always careful about this, i have hyperacusis for no apparent reason and constantly worry about going deaf.

[@guillermomaciel3689]

Thank you for the video. Interesting.. my left pinky does not meet my thumb. My right pinky has no problem meeting the thumb as shown in the video

[@nkesify]

Thanks for this insightful video. Could you post a link to the resistance bands and putty? Can’t seem to find them on Amazon. Thanks.

[@kyproset]

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. We all have made extension exercises along our violinistic journey. Do they work to make us reach a greater distance on the fingerboard or are they just for relaxation?

[@lemarayakubova5833]

Подскажите, пожалуйста, что сделать при болях в указательном пальце правой руки? Мой друг либо сильно давил на смычок, либо пиццикато неправильно играл. Теперь ему больно держать смычок и ни один из врачей не может понять что делать.

[@saea58]

Thanks! Does this info apply equally for the left hand also? It is hard to relax the left hand thumb when the muscles are so weak.

[@ViolinClassUSA]

Yes it does!

[@Vaskaunt]

Поможет ли экспандер в таких случаях укрепить пальцы? Или навредит?
