The tips of my fingers are very small. If I play half steps with my fingers touching, it will be out of tune. If I wanted them touching, I'd need a much smaller instrument... like 3/4 to 7/8 size violin. My hands are not particularly small. It's the tips of my fingers that are a very small diameter. So there has to be a significant space between my fingers when playing half steps in 1st position. Perfect consistent intonation isn't easy. Should I get a smaller instrument?
Is it possible to get the complete Linzer exercise? My brain starts turning in circles as I continue to shift up by half step. Really enjoyed this video!

Yep, a 39 or 40 viola!! If u force your hand u can get hurt. Ask your teacher!!
No.. Stay with full size.. And work with positive do you can get consistency with your fingers
Meia posição salva nossas vidas, dependendo da musica, principalmente as com 3 sustenidos.
Yes half position is awesome
Very helpful! If you want to combine studying with scales, is it advisable to do the tetrachords before or after the scales?
It is good to do the tetrachords before during and after scales
Everything works together

"Lincer"
I'll try to write it out soon
I dubbed the technique of leaving the left-hand fingers down the "Law of Finger Inertia."
