Right and left hand
The right hand and the bow
The bow is what makes the sound and can change it. We should put a lot of care into how we hold the bow and what effect it does for the sound
Points of attention:
-
Feel a good grip of the bow, feel every finger
-
Remind yourself to relax the thumb
-
Adjust the bow grip according to how it sounds
-
All fingers most of the time should be round and flexible
The left hand on the fingerboard
The left hand has a place on the fingerboard where it enables us to play many different notes.
Points of attention:
-
Feel the string under every finger
-
Remind yourself to relax the thumb
-
Use the weight of the arm, hand and fingers to firmly place the string on the fingerboard
-
Keep all the fingers rounded
After this we jump right into the topic of the 1st position.
