- Violin and viola students at the Utrecht Conservatory describe their participation in a study in which improved their playing and comfort by changing their chin rest and shoulder rest and retraining cramped playing habits. You can see how they changed their equipment and how they trained to play more freely at www.violinistinbalance.nl. For information on how we do it now, see www.artistinbalance.org
Well I was a pro violinist a long time ago and had enormous technical problems. I had Alexander lessons with a truly fantastic teacher, I can honestly say it changed my life. I so relate to the idea of discovering that "I was not the problem" which I absolutely thought I was. I think the truth is that from a human mechanical perspective the violin is just one of the most challenging instruments, the set up and use of the body have to be pretty much perfect.
Very informative, thank you. I paid $1500 a month for 6 months to a so-called Alexander Technique lady from United States who would try online to change ones posture by different thinking habits - what pure nonsense!!
This video of yours is absolute the opposite and very helpful! Thank you very much once again! My Kreddle chin rest is on its way - A higher chin rest, sitting on the side. I trust it will make a difference especially in my bowing.
Wow great. Thank youu!
Thanks for doing this project and sharing it!
I'd really like to know the name of the piece of music Iren is palying at 3:27. Anyone, thanks! BTW, very interesting project/video. Thanks!
"Moto perpetuo" by Niccolò Paganini
Excellent! Thank you!
What is the brand of that tall chin rest?
Caleb - did you ever find out? Thanks!
I think they were custom made, all the new chin rests
High arched violins are very difficult to play. Students should play on medium or low arched instruments
