My biggest challenge has been not squeezing the thumb and index finger against the sides of the violin neck. I try really hard to keep my thumb low and kind of pushing upward toward my fingers. At the same time, I’m trying to keep my index finger from touching the side of the neck, but the neck of the violin keeps slipping off my thumb…then I start using more of the weight of my head to keep the violin in place. If I let go of my head, how can I keep the violin from slipping off my thumb especially when playing an open string?

another problem for 'waitress' hand is when shifting. the pulse will reach the violin body before the intended and stop the hand hefore it reaches the higher positions.

Exactly! It’s amazing how much more you can accomplish with a straight wrist when shifting.

the problem i had when i played was just holding the bow, it felt so weird, I know the bow only moves up and down but using my right hand for it was really difficult esp if I had to hold it steady on one note it will quiver 😅

I'm left handed but I play like a right handed person. To actually tell the truth I am cross dominant which means I use different hands for different tasks. When both hands are required I do everything like a right handed person. When only one hand is required I do most things like a left handed person. Because when I was a child scissors were made only for right handed people I use a scissors in my right hand. Knitting needles are 2 hands so I do it right handed. Sewing needles only one hand so left hand.
