I just wish I could express to you how your tutorials are helping me. I am 52 and started violin lessons when I was 11. There were always things that didn't feel correct with my left hand, vibrato and bow arm. I studied under Eastman school of music graduates and still was not resolving some of my issues. Your method of breaking down left hand placement and the proper use of the bow arm has helped me more than my years of instruction. My teachers would say, "but you play beautifully". However, I could internally feel that something wasn't quite right and you have addressed my trouble areas. If I could give you a hug, I would. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me!!

The most expressive and clear communication from a violin teacher on the internet! Absolutely superb!

I was very concerned about you dear Prof. Julia! Thanks for posting again! GOD bless you!

Impressive! Most teachers they don’t teach this technique. Thank you very much.

The violin was my fathers instrument, but I just fell in love with it.

Welcome back professor - as an adult beginner I find your insights invaluable. If you have any exercises that compensate for double-jointed pinkie finger locking during bowing they would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much for your posts - they help my learning far more than anything else I have access to.

Very useful exercises, good to see you back Professor !

Kind regards as always Julia

Wonderful. I'm a violinist brought up with Sammons and Fischer and I really like your instructional videos

Thank you Pro. Julia, once again for this useful demo and exercises, especially for a self taught like me. This will add to my practice list.

I find your lessons very helpful indeed. It has helped me in my practice and I am sure my sound has really improved after trying and getting the feel of the exercises so muscles are moving along the right “rails “without tension. THANK YOU

so proud kak clarissa ❤️❤️

Amazing 👏

Thank you for the lesson important lesson .

Prof. Bushcova thank you for the posting. I was captivated by it. I never learned the violin. Thank you for taking your time to post these lessons. I wonder if would get a decent note out of the instrument.

Wonderful class... Intonation on long notes improved immediately. Though still have the wispies up on highest part of bow.

Very helpful instructions I’m already hearing the difference. Thank you so much!

к сожалению у меня не было в школе таких замечательных педагогов

Very helpful and great exercise. Thank you!

I just thought of applying this to Twinkle variation E from Suzuki book 1

Useful tips, thanks :-)

Great video.

Can we use metronome and start with slow tempo in this bow exercise?

That's funny! I do the same exercise with my students!

Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of this exercise and how do we apply it in a piece?
