Thank you very much for your teaching video, which is very helpful to my daughter. My daughter will be 5 years old in August this year. She has only been learning violin enlightenment for 3 weeks but piano & sight singing & ear training for 10 months.
Thank you for this it reassured me so much! I’m only 7 months the into learning violin and today bowing seemed different. Turns out I’ve actually started holding it right! There is such a difference in how everything flows and I have noticed less irritation in my arm! (tennis elbow type thing from bowing wrong boo). I’ll watch your other videos, I like your concise speaking style and how clear your demonstrations were. It helped me immensely!
I’m glad it helped! Thanks for watching and being a part of the community 😊
I've been looking for the perfect and clearest video for the perfect bow hold for a long time. I think I finally found it. Thanks, now I'm satisfied that I'm learning it right.
Look at the photo of Jascha Heifetz bow hand . Notice the short tidy nails . Most pictures of Heifetz show him leaning backwards .That`s just a cameraman`s habit
Been playing for 12 years.....need to years for my degree to finally realise from an other teacher that my bow holding is entirely wrong.....can you imagine how i feel? 😞😞😞....i started watching today a few videos to understand how to correct it.....i feel like i start all over again... everyone has its own bow hold....i am confused...
Bow holds take time, keep at it
This pinky tip probably solved my bowing technique problems 😊
I’m happy to hear that :-)
It took me several months to get the bow grip right. My pinky finger was terrible, and my thumb was what another online violinist describes as banana thumb.
Awesome!! Very Helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
It's my first day with my new violin, this was very helpful. Thank you🎻!
You’re welcome 😉
Ill try that tomorrow 😊
Let me know how it goes 😊✌🏻
@@erictheviolinist Hi Eric , tryed it brilliant , I felt in control of the violin bow i was over stretching little finger so that's corrected using more lower bow thank you
My fingers do not slide up the bow. I am having trouble holding the bow! While practicing, my thumb goes straight; when I fix
that issue, my 2nd and 3rd fingers begin to lift up. Soon, my thumb is throbbing and I am dropping the bow. I have viewed your videos many, many times......nothing seems to work for me!
The Old Russian bow hold works best for me but can see where your advise would be helpful for those using the Franco-Belgian bow grip.
Yeah, I found that the easiest way for me to teach a bow hold is through the Franco-Belgian bow hold. Lots of great violinists use the Russian bow grip, certainly not a wrong way to do it!
My violin teacher has been trying to get me to keep my pinky down, but never said anything about the placement of the pinky as it touches the bow.
I will try what you suggest. It makes sense to me.
Try it and see if it works!
I hadn't thought to teach the bow hold with them holding it straight up. I've seen pinkies like that starting out but I just had the kids support most of the weight with their left hand holding the stick. This might be easier since it frees one hand while still making it lighter. I've seen some people have the hold a little higher with the pinky over the frog's eye instead. Is there any real difference in doing that?
I started doing this not too long ago with a fresh new beginner and seeing good results from the ground up. (Granted this student is 5 years old and is continuing to develop her motor reflexes) also, I don’t think it’s necessarily a faster way to go, but it could set a stronger foundation (and less hassle for you) in the long run. I’ll let you know how it goes! 😊
I remember having a perfect bow hold. Then I played baroque exclusively for two years and now my hand goes up almost half way from frog to balancing point unless I'm deliberately focusing on holding it right. :,)
That’ll happen 😅
Спасибо ,что есть русский перевод❤
“Right hand and particularly the bow hand”
Yeah my bad on that, haha. Still trying to get comfortable in front of the camera 😅
I guess my thumb is wrong. My thumb was like 90 degree lol
Make sure to relax the thumb when working on the bow hold. Students often squeeze into the bow which causes tension.
I watched two videos before this and all I can say is my teacher is an idiot he asked me to hold my thumb at the beginning of the winding and the pinky near the end of the padding.
My palm aches like hell and the every finger seems fatigued.
Another lousy video. On to the next...olaf will have a good video...i hope.
