I started this awareness since starting violin lab 3 weeks ago. I do need to keep checking, because I can revert back 😉. It sure makes a difference. Thanks for sharing this important tip with everyone 😊❤
You just made something click for me. Thankyou. I just realised, that I end up getting to somewhere near the desired position through sheer fatigue. And all of a sudden, I'm playing with less effort, and better tone. I've been kidding my self this whole time thinking it's because I'm " warmed up". It's just because my trap muscle has completely given out. 😂
I wasn’t able to lift mine as high as yours, nor hold it as long. I had surgery on my shoulder decades ago. I appreciate this, as my shoulder tires easily.
Brilliant exercise. Your violin sounds gorgeous. Could you talk about it and your bow? My violin is a very well made Mazhibin, but it has a very slow response and very little projection. It took me a few years of playing to realize that it wasn't me, but my violin and bow were just not up to what I was trying do. Thanks, Jack
I'm very fortunate to have an old 7/8ths Italian (maker undetermined) violin and a French pernambuco bow. It's worth searching and trying many instruments and bows to find "yours".
Thanks so much. The video was quite enlightening. I am stuck, and I cannot play Beriot number 9. Which books or exercises do you recommend to me? Thanks a lot!
@@violinlab I'll give it a go . I struggle. Never truly comfortable holding violin. Constantly trying to readjust. Tried every shoulder rest. A true challenge. I have considerable pain . Big kink in left neck/shoulder. Over covid times I had a horrible frozen shoulder. Physical therapy and it's better now. I pray for an answer 🙏
You are so generous with your knowledge and experience. It boosts up my heart. Thank you
I don't play violin - but even I can hear a HUGE difference in the sound! From thin and harsh to rich and melodious.
Yay! That's the feedback I most want to receive.
I love mindfulness and relaxation-type exercises for practicing! I might recommend this video to a specific student. Thanks!!
You're right! Mindfulness is the term. It's amazing how "unmindful" I was most of my formative violin learning years. 😩 Such time wasted.

Will you be doing a tutorial of The swan????
It isn't in the plans but I'll keep it in mind.
My left shoulder raises and squeezes with my chin . It's a real problem. I am trying to stop.
Do this first ting before you start to play and quickly, you're body will remember the feeling of the dropped shoulder.
