Dear Joy: Stuck in the house during quarantine, I dug my violin, which I hadn't touched for decades, out of the attic. Your video was enormously helpful. Thank you for the tips.
Wonderful! Thanks as well :)
I'm a beginner and shacky bow is my biggest struggle right now.
Thank you for this video!
haha i know what you mean !
most talented violinists learned this kind of bowing by instinct but we commoners need to have a teacher like you to learn how to use a violin bow . thanks for your great tips. that will save me from making lots of noises!!
I’ve been looking for an answer to this for yearssss!! 🎻🎵🙏🏽 It comes and goes for me, hopefully no more! Thank you for sharing 🎶
I'm so glad that my video can be helpful to you. You're very welcome and happy practising Jalen!
As a follow up to my previous comment, I find that the tips in this video have helped so Thankyou
Great to hear!
Youre tips and corrective techniques really helped me. Thanks Joyce you deserve hundred thousands more suscribers. 😊👍
Wow, thank you so much Sarcocytsi!
My shaky bow happens between the frog and the middle of the bow.
Thank you Joy... Seriously help me alot.
I'm so glad!
HI JOY!
ALL YOUR VIDEO ARE AMAZING!!! I LOVE IT ALL... I dont have the means to study at a music school so im trying to learn it by myself and I appreciate your videos very much
So glad to hear that Jehn! You're most welcome and thanks as well :)
Thank you so much!! I learned a lot
Glad it was helpful!
Very good lesson! I like your energy too!
Thank you so much and happy new year !
Wow! I recently started to learn how to play the violin, and have been numerous tutorials online. Your video immediately helped my bowing - thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Glad it helped! It makes me happy:) Thank you also very much Diane.
I’m trying to learn to play Cello. This instrument is definitely something you can’t just pick up and play like I’ve done with my Acoustic, electric, bass, and Piano. Thank you so much for your video!
OMG! That was a great tip ! Thank you so much ! It really did work :D
Thanks I’ve noticed at school I play fine but at home I have shaky bow
Hi Tornado, Sometimes different mental and physical conditions of our body gives a different level of control, hence we play some times better than other times. Try to observe next time when you sound good and see what other conditions you are in ( other than the location), this way you will be able to pinpoint the mattering fact and reproduce the good performance at your command. I wish you lots of rewarding discoveries!
IT WORKEDD!!! thank you so much
Bravo Isadora!!! Happy for you!

I'm a beginner violist, all the pros I watch tilt the bow. When I play it helps so much. It feels like I can pull the string better especially on up bows.
In one of your videos you showed some kind of sticky fabric you placed around your shoulder rest to help with the feeling that the violin is slipping around on your shoulder. But I can’t find that video again. Could you please tell me again what that sticky stuff is or direct me to that video? Thank you.
Hi Karen, here is a video you are searching. I don't know the exact name of the fabric, but it is one of the sticky fabric you put under the carpet. I also saw it in dollar stores. I hope you can find it. I wish you all the best! ua-cam.com/video/XvGfF8pZPpE/v-deo.html
@@JoyLeeViolin Thank you Joy and Namasté!
Gracias que gran lección. ❤
Dyarau, De nada y gracias también por tu amable comentario. ¡Feliz creación musical!
I have been following your channel and it has lots of useful informations. I'm a beginner and I still have problems with shaky bowing, straight bowing on open strings, the way to hold the bow and I guess many more. Hopefully I can pass these hurdles. Thank you so much for your videos.
Dear Ting, thank you very much for your kind words . I am glad to hear that my videos have been helpful to you. Controlling the bow needs a good amount of time and patient work. But it certainly will show you the fruit of your persistent work. I hope you get to experience it. Happy practising!
So if you are playing something very soft, romantically and very slowly the best way is to tilt then? I was told that there isn’t a good bow that don’t bounce or shake and if you have a bow that don’t bounce it’s a bad bow, better to throw it and buy a better bow. Now! I good bow bounce very easily and it’s great when you play fast doing spicato I think that’s the name of it. Maby iam wrong, please correct me if i am. Thanks for sharing. Domo arigato.
A good bow should be able to play all types of strokes including very soft/ light and fast jumpy. I think you were referring to " sautille" bow stroke when you said fast spiccato. Happy practicing Jose!
Omg, you just fixed my shaky bown. And here I was thinking I had a problem in my hand
I'm wondering how professionals like David Oistrakh, bow from the tip to the frog in a matter of second without shaky bow like how did they do that???
Dear Pink, I am sure that even a great master like Oistrakh had to work on gaining control over the shaky bow. One step at a time, and keep working on it! Happy practising!
This lesson came at the right time. Thanks a lot.
Please, i want to ask an off point question.
I just graduated from college, and i want to go back to the violin which I've left for about a year now. Please is there any prescribed way to go about it?
you are most welcome ! Scales are always a good idea for getting back into shape.
Joy Lee Thanks again.
Can i please get a book from you for practice?
Thanks so much for these tips, Joy. Your video really helped me to understand what was happening and how to adjust. Much appreciated!
You are so welcome! Thank you also Rachelle! :)
Super helpful
Glad it helped:) Thank you also William!
The firmer grip on the 1st finger on the bow really works! Thank you so much! It even works when I start moving the bow before the bow lands on the string. No more shaky bow!
Wonderful! So glad it helped Liting! Happy music making!
Hey, so is the solution a russian bow grip?
Hi Boxing Star, whether rusing russian bow grip or belgian- franco bow grip, all violinists need to learn to control the shaky bow. And this would work for both bow grips. Happy music making!
@@JoyLeeViolin Noted! Thank you so much
Certainly it's a move in that direction. After 12 months FB I switched to the hold she shows here, and my playing was immediately lots better in lots of ways, so I use it all the time now. As well as no bouncing bow, it is also kinder to my wrist when playing at the tip, and I have much better control overall. Pretty impossible to graunch a note too! There are some things that don't work so well for me - things that require lots of finger movement - but they don't concern me atm. 🙂
This was so helpful! I followed this video and the shaking stopped, Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Ah beautiful! This helps tremendously. I really have to find myself a proper teacher. Are your correspondence lessons just as effective as being in person or would you recommend that I find someone whom I can visit on a regular basis?
Thank you so much !
A little late but just to Say I've been having lessons with Joy since Lockdown. I was wirking with s/one near me (in the UK). I've made more progress in 2yrs with Joy than in the 5 yrs with my local teacher! Joy's very commited to helping her students progress. The vidéo of thé lesson means I can watch it again and again. Local teacher didn't do that.
very useful, thank you so much
I replaced my bow this summer so it's brand new and should be in top condition. I just noticed that there's a thin piece of food sticking out from where the hairs are connected to the bow (around where you hold it). I don't think my thumb touches the wood but it's right around where my thumb is placed when playing. I can't recall ever seeing this on my older bows. I don't know the words for the parts of the bow in English btw, sorry. It would be weird if I had to replace it just 3 months after getting it. I always make sure to slacken the bow hair when I finish practicing so I can't think of any reason for why this piece of wood would be sticking out? I'll check with my teacher as soon as I can but if anyone has any idea what's wrong (or if it's fine) please let me know xD
why don't you speak with the person who sold it to you?
Thank you sm! The most clear and wonderful advice💕
You don't know how much you've helped me through your videos ma'am, i admire you so much. Please never stop making these types of informative videos ❤️
Awww.... I am so happy to hear that my videos are helpful to you A Major! Thank you kindly and I wish you lots of wonderful violin playing! :)
😂
Oooo yes I was trying to stop the bow and start over instead of what you said. Very helpful thanks!!
You're very welcome Bec. Happy practising!
it worked for me!!!! the point finger one! this whole time im holding it with slightly wrong position. im putting too much tension on my middle finger...
So glad to hear that it worked for you Caroline. Bravo! :)
Dang. These are great tips.
That was all needed
Thanks 🙏🏽 so great. Good teacher. I loved it
You're so welcome!
Three great suggestions, beautifully explained. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you also Roxanne!
Thank you for this video!!!
You're most welcome Kayra! :)
Very helpful! I'm learning a lot from your channel. Thank you. :)
Happy to hear that!
Is that russian bow hold?
Great help!!
The most helpful tip for me was tilting the bow. Well, I am playing the second day 😂 but it reduced the jumping significantly. THANK YOU!!!!
Glad it helped! Thank you very much also and happy practising Xria!
@@JoyLeeViolin Does it matter if I tilt left-sided or right-sided?
Hi Xria, to prevent the bouncy bow, you can tilt the bow either way. However it would be better for the bow to be tilted while the bow hair is facing you , this way you will be able to change the angel of the bow easier with an open wrist. Happy practising!
Thank you so much! You have made my day!
You're very welcome Yuval. Happy music making!
thank u so much :)
The best! Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome 😊 Thank you also Vita!
Superb
Tq teacher 🙏
You are welcome!
Oh my gosh I've been having shaking bow issues for years and you showed me how to fix it! I'm so grateful thank you so so so much! 🥰💛
Glad I could help Sarah! Happy violin playing!
Thanks so much!
VERY helpful! Thank you!!
You're welcome!
hello Joy. I have the opposite problem. My bow bounces more near the frog, and not at the tip. I would like to know if you have any tips for this. Thanks
Hi Gary, it might be that your right arm is too heavy. You can raise your right elbow and right wrist near the frog to lighten the bow weight as well as gaining more control. Happy violin playing!
Useful tips .Thank u so much Joy
Thanks as well Jalaja :)
fantastic explanation on this technique. really helped me thank you
So glad to hear that Aaron. Happy music making!
Really really helpful, more I watch your videos better violinist I become
Happy to hear that!
Estou aguardando.. FOR SAUTILLE EXERCISE
sure, I will do it but it will take me a few months because I have a long waiting list. Best wishees !!
ok, thank!
Thanks you very much helped a lot, by the way what is the name of that technique of "spring bowing" you did in 1.43? Its spicatto? 🤔 Because it sounds me different i like how you did it
It's ricochet. happy practising!
Thanks!
Welcome Cristian!
Muito bom.
Muito obrigado Tony!
Very helpful! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome and thank you also Ellen!
how to stop bow bounce when doing vibrato?
it takes time, you are probably too tense and your entire body is shaking
great tutorial, tilting the bow minimized the bounce for me :)
Thank you so much for this video, my problem is when i do finger strike the bow starts to bounce then its all squeeks and scratches.
You might benefit from practicing in a slower tempo to work on co-ordination of both hands then slowly bring up to the tempo. I hope you can try that. Happy violin playing!
Thank you sooo much for this. I've had this problem for so long and there aren't any other videos on it. One additional thing I noticed is that when I practice I only do so with a rubber mute which absorbs some of the vibration and when it's a performance I take out the mute, thinking it's the same and I know how to play it, but now there's a lot of extra vibration which causes it to shake more. Thanks again.
you are most welcome !
I just saw the video and then I tried to play on it with first trick from you.. and now I did it ! Thanks a lot.. and don't forget the most important of all, it is "enjoy on it !" Haha, when we starting to get stressed, nervous, specially tense.. however, just ENJOY it. Love it
That’s exactly what I needed, thanks :)
you are most welcome !
Intersting!
