I'm a classically trained (Sydney, Australia, Conservatorium) guitarist/teacher who took up the violin about 35 years ago, then about a decade ago took up the viola and I must say (I may have said it before) you are the best teacher I've found on the internet - RUclips. Thank you for all your help and your videos without many ads !! To all of us that makes you a real teacher who wants the work to come before the $$ (cha-ching) and that makes a huge difference to you as a teacher. THANK YOU !! It is easily understandable for all and that makes a huge difference between you and others. Again, Thank You. Might I ask you what viola you use? It must be a good one, I imagine, but would like to know, just the same. Thank you. Mark - Australia.
The hardest thing for me has been playing 4/4 where all 4 pulses were correctly played with the bow. Hitting with the bow does not always mean that you get a hit sound as sound and when you cannot get it as sound, the tone changes become unrhythmic and unclean. The change of the bow is also important I think.
Excellent
Sevcik Opus 8 is the ultimate GPS for the fingerboard.

Do you recommend practicing Sevcik with or without vibrato?
Quality practice eclipses quantity practice.
Agreed!
