I find myself coming back many times to these lessons and each time a new realization or small detail hit me. Talks to the richness of your teaching. Thank you so much for making this available to us. It’s treasure.
Oh, how beautifully played and how natural everything is - like the violin is part of her body and the music speaks directly from her soul. Is that your Mother? Then you’ve had best thinkable musical education from the very beginning. Thanks for sharing and for your very good, informative and helpful channel
This series has me quite wonderfully dumbfounded. Really awesome work you are doing. In a couple of minutes of watching your videos I have so many more exercises to get me going. I really hope the nice comments make their way to you all. You are doing a wonderful job for the world of music. Much love, Baltics :D
Hi, Mam, can you believe I met your brother in Mumbai yesterday , and I had my 1st lesson . I had watched your video on Vibrato just a week back . I feel fortunate to learn from you both. he helped me with Thaikovasky's Melodie in 1st lesson .Best wishes.
I totally love your way of explaining. Bow hold is what I have struggled with the most, as being an old beginner, plus with very, and I mean very, small hands and very short fingers. Now I could finally place my hand and fingers on the bow. In a natural, relaxed and yet effective way, producing fair sound without tension and too much thinking. Now I need to "fix" my understanding of arm and wrist best positioning and use. Will stay tuned with you. Big big respect to you, thanks, and hugs!!!
Thank you for this video, Ms. Bushkova! I have discovered you just recently, and have been applying your teachings to my students, and actually, to my own playing. Ms. Shihkmurzayeva is a true master of bow control and expression. I will be looking her up, and have, of course, subscribed to your channel. Spasibo!
I like to bow with just thumb and little finger, it really sets the whole posture into position. I even do this in orchestras, even concerts, to regain control, eg long quiet notes
I learned a lot from your video and hope to study with you if I can live in Texas. Russian method is great and so helpful for me. Is possible to talk about bow tip exercise sometime? Like how to make bow tip as strong as other bow parts to make powerful tone.
Thanks for the explenation prof, my down bow always bouncing and i will try practice paintbrush bow not colle, 1 more question is it ok to tilt the bow up when down bow?
Thank you so much for these amazingly helpful violin lessons. After 40 years of not playing I recently started again, and it is only possible with your help that I slowly remember how to move my left and right hands. However, I have problems with bow bouncing in the middle of the "down bow", and it feels like I have no control over the bow. "Up bow" everything is fine. It would be great if you had some advice on how to overcome that?
I'm 52 years old and on my 3rd day as a violin student, watching your videos make me want to be better at it, you have one of the strongest teacher vibes I've ever seen. I have a question, a long time ago I've suffered an accident and a blender nearly chopped off my right hand pinky. It got reattached but in the process the joint near the tip got calcified and therefore it doesn't move anymore, so I can't bend that last joint and judging by your advice the right hand pinky is pretty important for controlling the bow. Am I doomed to never be able to play well, or are there ways around my limitation?
No, you are not doomed at all. In fact, my father - who was a violinist (and an excellent one!) only had half of the pinky on the right hand. He adjusted by using the 3d (ring) finger to work instead of the pinky. Everything is possible :)
For me it's difficult to turn after the bowñ down, connect the bowl up with the starting position down. I lose the contact point, the parallel bowl and a little the finger position. :(
What is the reason professionals tilt their bow hair? Is it to prevent squeaking when starting the bow stroke or a trade secret that gives you that professional "violin sound"?
The Franco-Belgian school prescribes to tilt the bow-hair in order to have flexibility of tone and diminish the bow bouncing in the middle especially while playing a "down" bow.
Hello Julie. I have a question on bowing with the fingered notes. When I bow on the open strings the sound is nice and full. Once I start fingering the notes and bowing at the same time the sound becomes unstable, scratchy and squeaky: it goes away, catches up, turns into scratches and fades away and it goes in circles. I know they say the common reason for that is that beginners take their attention away from the bow to fingering but when I make a permanent stop on a fingered note (no attention is taken away) I still get these scratches. I keep my nails short . Is there anything else that is a common problem for scratchy sound on the fingered notes but not on the open notes at the same time? In other words it has the same effect as not enough rosin on the bow hair while the open strings suggest that rosin is there in plenty.
There are not really common causes to what you describe. The possible causes may be the following: When you press down with the finger -- Your bow slighlty changes direction and ends up in the wrong contact point for the bow pressure you are using You involuntarily press a bit more with the bow than on the open string You involuntarily press a bit less with the bow than on the open string The finger does not depress the string fully Unfortunately, there is not more to say without seeing and hearing you...
@@ViolinClassUSA Thanks much for answering! From your list above one thing looks suspicious to me: The finger does not depress the string fully. I always thought there is no need for a full firm contact of the string and the fingerboard. As you know the Chinese Erhu has no fingerboard at all and its string(s) vibrate freely in the air. Is really hard contact needed between the string and the fingerboard for strong and full sound?
Нет, ни капли стыда. В России я не только училась, но и родилась, и выросла. И в ней же выучила английский, что всем советую, т.к. иностранный язык развивает мозги. Всего вам доброго.
Thank you for sharing your "secrets" with world and the wonderful clip of your mom playing "Melody". We are lucky and honored.
I find myself coming back many times to these lessons and each time a new realization or small detail hit me. Talks to the richness of your teaching. Thank you so much for making this available to us. It’s treasure.
A million times thank you. I've been struggling so much with the bow, and almost given up, but with your advices now I can try again. Thanks again!
All the three parts are gems. Thanks a lot for sharing. 👍
Спасибо большое! Для меня именно « Мелодия» является тестом для скрипача! Как хорошо что сохранилась эта замечательная запись!❤
That lovely lady is your mother. Very kind if you to share with us. Thank you

Вы же в России учились, почему для русских нет перевода? Не стыдно?
Вам кто-то что должен?! Просто поражаюсь таким как вы ... и вам не стыдно что-то предъявлять человеку. Учите англиЦкий.
Prof. Bushkova teaches in Texas, USA, and online to the world. The international language in most fields is English 👍🏼
Нет, ни капли стыда. В России я не только училась, но и родилась, и выросла. И в ней же выучила английский, что всем советую, т.к. иностранный язык развивает мозги. Всего вам доброго.
А русским не надо учиться....
не надо, они и так всё знают :)))))
