All your tips here are very good! Thank you for teaching these practical and detailed but easy to understand instructions. I'm an adult beginner who studies violin on my own. I'm really struggling with my string crossings that's why I'm glad that I found this video about it. It's a good thing that I found your channel. More power to you! 😊❤
Happy New Year! I’m so glad to hear that you found it easy to understand! We just covered string crossings in my class of pre-professional/professional violinists… so you’re not alone! :)
Thanks a lot for the good lesson

Great video Dr Lynn. When do you make the string crossing at the tip, frog or middle of the bow?
Thanks for watching, Mohammed!
String crossings can happen at any part of the bow and it’s best to practice them in all types of situations.
@@violynnkuo Thank you Dr Lynn.
@@mohammedkebir8696 You’re welcome!
any tips on mastering the e string? started with viola but slowly seem to also enjoy violin, are there any special exercises that you can recommend?
Hi Ramona, thanks for watching!
I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “mastering the E string” but I highly recommend you peek into Simon Fischer’s book called ‘Tone’, which features a plethora of exercises that will help you develop bow control and sound production on all four strings.
If you haven’t already, check out my tutorial: 5 Tips to Improve Your Sound, which is inspired by Simon Fischer’s work. Hopefully, it will give you some ideas.

Great videos....but....anyway to do them in a closed setting? Between high winds, car noises etc. It's distracting and sometimes hard to listen. Background is great...but the information is better.
Thanks for watching and the comment! Yes, the wind was unpredictable that day. I’m no longer filming in Newfoundland now but I do miss the scenery though. 🌊
I appreciate the comment!
