First I thought my god what's that kind of behavior of this woman at the beginning of the video, but then I slowly realized the potential. Thank's so much!
The best BOW HAND WARM UP I've ever seen.
Yay, you're welcome!
Yep, me too!
After retiring from playing professionally in the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra as 2nd violinist for 18 years,i now teach full time and love your videos.Thank you Zlata!
Thank you, colleague :)
This is really wonderful! Thank you!
Great video Zlata!!!
Thank you!
I like that exercise intro. It makes me laugh. You do look healthy and athletic. Hugs from America.
Thank you :)
Hi Zlata! This is great! I tend to flap my elbow too much and tire out quickly. Much more fun this way! Thank you for motivating me as always !
You're so welcome!
Omigosh, I'm exhausted! :-0 But these are good -- thank you Zlata
Haha, a true work out!
The was fun. Now I need a rest 😂
Hahaha, yes, that was a firm warm up, wasn't it?
This is cool!
Thanks and happy practicing!
Zlata, you are great! Thanks a lot. I'm going to try it the first thing in the afternoon. Still struggling to get a good sound. Sometimes it happens, some other not. I'll have to work harder, I guess. These exercises will definitely help. Thanks again.
Wonderful!
Great video 🙂
You're welcome!
Thank you! I do some of theses but I like your approach!
Glad you like them!
Would you modify any of your bowing instructions for a violist? (I play a 5-string viola (with high E..)
I think these exercises are also helpful for the viola
Thanks for this great video! Such fun and so very helpful like all of your YT videos. Every best wish to you and your family - I reckon you have about seven weeks to go!
Thank you, Nicholas, well... it's 33 weeks now, so we're already counting down :).
Love it - great exercises and you make it very fun. Your exercises have really helped my playing. I love watching your seamless transitions between the up and down bows with those long bow strokes. I'd love to be able to keep a smooth even tone and volume like that!
Great to hear!
That warmup is so amazing! 🔥 I was wondering if you have a warmup for the left hand as well? Always feeling like it needs a good warmup as well. Greetings 🥰
You are right! Let me know if this is what you’re looking for; violinlounge.com/finger-independence-exercises-for-the-violin-violin-lounge-tv-304/
I Love your Video 😎🎊🎊🎊
Thank you 🙏🏻
Very helpful
Glad you think so!
Could you please make a vlog of Prague when you there next time
Unfortunately I haven't been able to visit my family in Czech due to Covid. They are now the country in Europe with most contaminations and several of my family members already have Covid, so I hope everyone will be healthy soon and we will be able to travel somewhere next year. Perhaps we'll see Prague...

I pray to God for the better being of your family
And stay safe teacher

Bowing is quite difficult
Sometimes I play very quietly so not to bother my husband. Sometimes also staccato and don’t hold the whole notes
How long does it take to get that beautiful sound
How long it takes depends on how much you practice, the quality of your practice and in what way your teacher guides the process :). I can't give a term as it varies greatly per student.
Thanks I’m going to try& find a violin teacher during the lock down just to hear
Still I think scratchy
The notes are fine for I be been playing and reading since 1975
Did my warmups this morning
Thanks( quiet practice)
Can you review the scales.. just learned them on the piano but for some reason seeing the piano keys helps me remember the sharps how funny is that -
I’ll have to write them down on an index card
@@stephensheridan93 yes, my program Bow like a Pro with curriculum and video exchange would be great for you. Check it out at www.bowlikeapro.com and if you’re more the type for live 1on1 lessons, check out playwithapro.com
@@stephensheridan93 the scales are coming up in my free beginner course 😊 I publish on Mondays. Also check out www.sensationalscales.com
Thank you
You’re sooooo busy!! :)
I wish you lived in New York City!
I found out they have an adult orchestra in NYC
so my goal is when it opens up 2021
I’ll try out and be placed in one of the orchestra. ( used to play in 6 th grade through College on clarinet and saxophone (& a play orchestra pit with the xylophone)
miss those performance days!!
Helpful video. Yay😎 I have a very short left pinky and playing 4th finger is difficult. Any helpful advice? Thank you. William
I think you're supposed to rotate your arm. Like swing the elbow to get your whole hand up and over the frets. I can't explain what I mean. 😥
Mainly embrace the neck of the violin with your hand. Mostly when people think their pinky is too short (mine is short too), it's more a matter of changing your hand position. I might shoot an extra video on that.
@@violinlounge I’d love to see a video on this issue. My teacher said my pinky is VERY short. Still trying to make it work.
@@cigarnationwarriors3981 I just remembered I have some tips around this in this video; ua-cam.com/video/l9gGU4_hZZI/v-deo.html
@@violinlounge Your pinky is not short. Mine is very short and resetting the hand doesn’t fix it. Thanks anyway.
How many repeats do you suggest for each exercise?
I'd say 5 to 9.
@@violinlounge Thank you for your prompt reply.
Hello zalta how are you
What are your worst fears about violin playing
Stage fright!
@@violinlounge
Me too that's the reason I never play anything in front of anyone . That's the reason I blured my video on UA-cam
🤣🤣😍 I'm like, "🤔 did I click on the right video??"

@@Borka642 glad you appreciate ☺️
Hi Zlata
Love your encouraging personality.
Remember!
My choice for the new baby's name is ZLATOR 😃
You asked on an earlier video.
If you don't like it ima think of another with your name in it.
Which I may do anyway.
🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻
It looks like he will be getting a very musical name...
Still exhausting.
But Trevor did not turn out to be a variation of a Junior Zlata
Nice exercices but my pinky keeps on sliping of the bow
Here's a video that may help with this: violinlounge.com/how-to-prevent-your-pinky-from-slipping-off-the-bow/
The more you do these exercises, the better the strength and coordination in your pinky and the better it will stay on it's place.
@@violinlounge Thanks😊
@@violinlounge when we are bow smoothly aren't we bowing legato instead? 😞
My fingers are dry and they slip a lot
I have the same problem, more so in winter, and it makes it very difficult to do vibrato. I found my own workaround, unconventional and probably frowned upon by teachers, but I don't care as it has worked wonders for me, helped with vibrato and effectively saved vibrato for me. I put a little of powered rosin on my finger tips and then run the finger tips on the the string. It leaves coating of rosin on the strings and on your fingers. If you put too much on it will be sticky, so just experiment with it. (I have a another block rosin for this purpose and just scrape a bit off when I need it). This may or may not help you, but if its stopping you from progressing or enjoying it you have to try anything that may work.
Try hand cream! (not too much) And of course doing this warm up and getting more stability and balance in the contact points of the bow hold will also help.
Why the weird background music?
It's to joke with fitness videos 🙃
And the whole world has to answer right now an just tell me once again WHOS BAD????🤟🤟🤟
Haha!
