I've been playing viola for just a few years but I still struggle with this, thanks for the video 👍

Whenever I blocked my elbow my violin teacher would say "And remember: this is not a rowing club. Please use all of your arm." xD

Haha, I like that.

Eric, the black shirt made it difficult to see your arm…..until I put my glasses on.

[@erictheviolinist]

Ahh, I’ll make sure I put in a brighter shirt, still trying to get used to dark background

how do i keep my bow in the same spot? it’s straight but is going right or left

[@erictheviolinist]

Check how your right elbow is reacting to your bow changes

I can see where a mirror would be very useful here.

Indeed!
