It's easy to get caught up in overthinking which part of the arm should move first - the arm, the hand, or the elbow - and by how much.

    Nice tutorial! I find it challenging enough, however, just to keep the bow between the bridge and fingerboard when I play the violin. BTW: When I play the violin with a violin mute, it gives the strings a softer, nonmetallic sound. Which is very noticeable with cheaper violins.

    • @risingstringsacademy
      @risingstringsacademy 2 місяці тому

      I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Try playing in front of a mirror or recording yourself to see where your tendencies are. My bow usually moves forward or to the left, so knowing that, I'm consciously pushing slightly to the right. Using a mute can distort the real sound of your violin. It's better to find one that you like!

    Thank you for this. It has taken SUCH a long time for me to do any sort of 4th finger vibrato, and now, I am simply looking for consistency, which, I believe, your exercises will certainly work to help me obtain. I found that if I first started bracing the heel of my hand against the violin while vibrating with the 4th finger, it was easier to get "the feel" down of 4th finger, and then that made it easier to use it in other places. I would encourage people to try this if they are starting out!

    Of all the weird & unnatural positions a violin forces you to adopt, vibrato is undoubtedly the most difficult to get used to. And after decades of watching people make it look like it is simple & natural, the hardest thing to get your head around is just how much you need to move your fingers! But I will persevere because I know it will be worth it. Thank you for all you do.
