Love your videos! A question....when you do the fourth finger. Around 3.25 (single notes) you have your first and second fingers pretty high. Because obviously you get more power to the potentially weak finger. What is your take on if you leave the other three fingers just lightly touching the string to keep the hand frame? Pros or cons?
That's also a good way to practice! Adds inclusion of the changing frame size in different positions. But personally, I would use that idea to practice octaves instead. Shifting with pinky alone, this is the most natural hand position for me. Also, shifting like this is usually practiced with only one finger down. But again, variations on a theme can be great in their own way.
@@Violinnathanks for your reply. Actually..... concerning the octaves.....the two middle fingers naturally tend to 'pop up' right? But if I encourage them to stay softly curved and close to, or even gently resting on the string my hand is more relaxed. But I don't know if this depends, in the end, on the shape of one's hand or just preference.??
Most comprehensive instruction I have come across.
Thank you.

It’s great if you focus the camera , intermittently, to your finger tips as well.
Good idea! I'll keep that in mind for future videos =)

You are using the pinky on which string
