    I play viola and have been having difficulty with fast bowings. Oddly, my friend, who is much better than I am, told me that fast bowing SHOULD be done closer to the frog. She uses more wrist movement than arm movement for it and she sounds really good. I do find it easier to do it the way you show, but considering my friend does it near the frog and she does it well (nothing like how you were showing your students do it) I'm not totally sure she's doing it wrong.

    So I began playing fiddle (Irish, Scottish primarily) - that was 2 yrs ago. I've done remarkably well for not having lessons; but I should also mention that I play Professionally- Irish flute/whistle, bodhran, congas, djembe, strumstick, vocals... I was progressing well, until my motorcycle crash. I didn't think I'd play ANYTHING again! :( I viewed your vids tonight, and you teach wonderfully.. and SO pretty too! I'm hooked again! Nice. Thanks so much, cutie...:)

    This is just what I needed, when I slow down to a crawl I can hear even as small as a 1hz difference in a note,practice slow enough and it's just a matter of muscle memory, from the start bowing is what I've needed to focus all of my practice on

    • @Insomnia_tic

  • @mornayjansen4176
    @mornayjansen4176 10 лет назад

    I have never had any formal violin lessons. I only had formal lessons as a singer.
    Anyway, I started playing violin but 50 years ago I were in a motorcycle accident and I had problems in turning my wrist. But after this 50 years, I can move my wrist again and packed out my violin. I play the piano, organ, etc and I also have and play a mandolin. So where the notes are is no problem. What my problem were is the correct technique. I realized that I have got a great problem around there. Then I discovered you You Tube lessons and demonstrations. Now I am taking up your tips very seriously and I am so enthusiastic to learn to play the violin far better than ever before. Thanks to you, very very much.

  • @Loccutus28
    @Loccutus28 7 лет назад

    I call it, "Frankenstein" bowing. That is keeping your fore and upper arm straight and not hardly using your wrists. I have been at this for two years and it is a hard habit to break. If I consciously think about it when I am playing, the wrist gets looser. I will try your "Wall" exercises to try and improve. Thank you for your vids, Alison. They help.

  • @potentialpotato52
    @potentialpotato52 10 лет назад +1

    This was super helpful!!!! But is there an "exercise/stretching practice" to help move ur fingers faster or to help loosen up ur wrist or just like an exercise u can do with ur hands. I learned vibrato and it's easier because my teacher taught me to wave to my self like the same way u would hold ur instrument and then waving it to urself it helps loosen up ur wrists easily so like exercises like that. I'm going to try that on my right wrist now and see what it does! Thanks!

Sorry, i cant help, but all i can say is to ask your teacher for help and honestly, if they are more interested in telling you that they have no faith in you than trying to help you, you really need to consider getting a better teacher soon!

  • @rustykoenig3566
    @rustykoenig3566 7 лет назад

    The best way I describe "wrist movement" is watch the Karate Kid movie where Daniel learns to "paint the fence" Up..... Down.... Up...... Down..... complete with the follow through on each brush stroke. As the bow goes up/down your wrist should always be pushing or pulling the bow. Once you naturally do that, just stop the arm and use only the wrist for the "quick" bowing.

  • @KerikoMaller
    @KerikoMaller 9 лет назад +1

    I have been working on this for a few days and I keep having this problem I've never had with the bow before: my pinky finger keeps flying off. I have no idea what I am doing wrong except maybe there is a different way I should be holding it than I normally do, or maybe I'm moving my wrist wrong. I don't know if this is a common problem or if there are common causes of this. But I'd really like to fix that.

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  9 лет назад

    Sometimes I wish there was such thing as a left-handed violin! Sometimes it's tricky to move my right wrist since I'm left handed. But obviously a left handed violin would look crazy in an orchestra!

    I've been practicing this all day today. A few questions. One, the bow be tilting a little bit whenever you do that movement? Two, what can you do to make it more of a reflex?

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  9 лет назад +1

      ***** the bow will tilt naturally and it becomes a reflex if practiced enough.

    I was like "wrist move" and it was like "NOOO! NOO! You can't make me" It refused to move. I even thought my brain was failing Maybe because I was practising for hours. I can't feel my arm any more. I'm one enthusiastic beginner. :/ lol XD You're a great teacher.

  • @mattkonny9735
    @mattkonny9735 9 лет назад

    So the wrist movement is up and down, you said finger flexibility was key as well. I noticed when you were showing what to do without the bow, your fingers were curling up as the wrist goes up, and then they stretch out as the wrist went down, I couldn't really tell what you were doing during bowing. Should my fingers extend on the way down, and curl up as the wrist goes up?

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  9 лет назад

      ***** Not really. Its all about the wrist - thats the point. Let the wrist be flexible and the finger will go along for the ride.

    I think I'm slowly falling in love with you Alison :-) I played Violin years & years ago and my main instument is lead guitar, Bass & Keyboards for over 40 years. Your lessons have helped me tremondously but I do have a few technical questions and I was wondering where the best place to ask them is ...

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  10 лет назад +2

      Lance Axeman ask questions under the videos please as that way they are all in one place and others can benefit also. Plus I constantly check all comments during the day to make sure everyone gets a reply to a question.

    I'm having a really hard time bowing fast while reducing arm movement. I'm practicing crystallize by lindsey stirling which should be fairly simple. My arm just looks super shaky when i play.

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  7 лет назад

      I would need to see you for something like this in order to help - sorry.

  • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
    @TheOnlineViolinTutor  11 лет назад

    moving the fingers fast is simply down to practice. There are no tricks tips etc im afraid - knowing the music really really well so you can just concentrate on your fingers will help though. As for string crossing, Can you be a little more specific? Can you put it into context - so what i mean is, is there a particular piece you are playing where string crossing occurs that will help me better target the problem for you in a video? I understand the question, but its too general atm?

    Hey Alison, I was wondering, I haven't found a video about the correct left hand posture. I feel I'm really squeezing the neck of the violin really hard with my thumb, don't know if this is correct or not. I also seem to find it really hard to keep my fingers on the strings for a long time, especially on the G string when using 3 or 4 fingers. Love the videos btw, learned a lot already!

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  9 лет назад +1

      Denis Debacker without seeing you im not sure what i can say to help, just try to loosen your grip a little? Takes practice and time - especially if you are new to all this,
