    I think you can also talk about how to actually practice to get 90 degrees angle and play bow in between bridge and the finger board. Appreciate your pointing out of this development point for most beginner students but good to know how to overcome the issue

    Yes , thank you . Those are very good . I am a beginner and they have helped . Something I have noticed you doing while bowing is the bow was turning or twisting . From frog to tip your bow turned and from tip to frog also turned . I like that . I have tried to keep the bow straight , which has been wearing the bow hair on one side . Now I see it makes sense to use all the bow hair while up bowing or down bowing . Thanks again .

    I don't want to justify bad habits, but billy contreras plays with a pancake hand and is one of the best jazz violinists.
    What I want to say is that different ways of playing suit different playing styles and anatomies and there is no absolute rule for violin playing.

    • @illusion466
      @illusion466 Рік тому +2

      I cant find any examples of this. All the videos I looked at he plays with a straight hand.
      You should be more cautious about dismissing common technique under the guise of "style". The violin is a much less forgiving instrument than most, and it's much better to stick with proper technique until proven that it doesn't work, rather than look at a single example of someone violating a rule, and believing that it's a free pass for everyone to do what ever they want.
