Perhaps the most influential, well-known violin virtuoso of our time, and still he finds the time to share his knowledge with the world. As a musician, I have the utmost respect and admiration for the man! You are an exceptional human being Itzhak! :D
Thank you sir. I have to say, as an adult beginner, at 35(i got into violin 3 weeks ago after enrolling my 7yr old daughter in private lessons, and realized I have caught on myself), and researching modern, and classical, violinists and composers, you sir are my favorite of all the modern soloists today. Particularly, my favorite is your take on the Mendelssohn Concerto. After 3 weeks, I'm already playing hymns such as How Great Thou Art, It Is Well With My Soul, Amazing Grace, God Is So Good, Nothing But The Blood, Jesus Saves, and maybe a couple others that i can't think of at the moment. But i truly wish i could meet you in person and pick your brain. Not even just about music theory and violin, but i have so much respect for the obstacles and hurdles that you have not only overcome, but by the grace of God, you have brought them into submission. Now of course, I'm certain it wasn't easy. But that's what really shines about you. Thank you for the tip. Lately I've been looking for any advice i can get to help with my intonation. I'm so excited to see what the Lord has in store for me within the next few years with this beautiful instrument. And I'm so excited to glorify and praise His Holy Name. I understand as well that your are Jewish, and i mean absolutely no disrespect, but praise the Lord Jesus Christ, and i pray you come to a saving knowledge of the One Whom bought and saved you with His Precious, Innocent Blood on the Cross. God bless you, sir.
Mr. Perlman - I think I must speak for many people when I tell you how much those of us who struggle with the violin appreciate a person of your caliber taking time to produce these free videos for our benefit. I myself have only been playing for about a year, but I've found the advice you've given to be very helpful indeed. I look forward to future editions of your tutorials. All the best to you and yours.
I really couldn't imagine. It would be such an honor, even just to pick his brain for a few hours, not even necessarily about music theory or the violin, but just the obstacles and hurdles he not only overcame, but by the grace of God, brought into submission.
I'm 35 and just started 3 weeks ago, after enrolling my 7yr old daughter in private lessons i realized i had caught on myself. So 3 weeks ago the Lord led me to purchase a full size violin for myself, and He has truly blessed the fruits of this endeavor. I'm already playing hymns such as How Great Thou Art, It Is Well With My Soul, Amazing Grace, God Is So Good, Jesus Saves, Nothing But The Blood. And to come across tips from my favorite modern soloist is such a gem.
Watching Mr. Perlman teach how to hold a bow is like watching Newton giving a calculus lecture, or like watching Da Vinci giving an arts class. We are learning from the master himself.
Amigo! Thank you very much to God for your life. My violin teacher and I admire greatly to you. He gives me examples of how to play the violin correctly based on your way of playing the violin. He admires you. We love you, Master. Greetings from Argentina.
When I was beginning violin lessons,mother made me sit in front of our TV to watch a young man's violin performance on the Ed Sullivan Show.I have been a fan ever since. I play traditional fiddle music as a hobby but classical violin is my first love thanks to Mr.Perlman who autographed a piece of my music (Vancouver music store) left over from all those years ago as a student learning the craft.We also share a special date,August 31!
Thank you for taking the time to help out some average folks. So many great violinists only teach young, gifted musicians. These videos help out those that are not necessarily genius musicians, but we are passionate and love music so much.
This vid brings memories of my early private lessons with principal violinist from the University of Illinois Symphony--James Star. A wonderful person who taught me your bow-grip and the usual--play in the middle between the bridge and the (black string board? not sure what that part is called). He was gentle, kindly and excellent. I then got a protegee of Isaac Stern out of Europe who was demanding, critical and harsh. It turned me off to violin so I took up drums. but your kind and gentle lesson for this vid reminds me of the true quality of sharing to bring out the best in others.
I'm so excited to have this video from YOU! I teach exactly the same grip, and this video is fabulous because it confirms what I teach, explains it concisely, demonstrates thoroughly, and comes from someone as amazing a player and teacher as the great Itzhak Perlman. Just like @violinlab below. :) Thank you, Mr. Perlman!
I can't believe I just watched you giving out basic pointers on youtube - technology is so incredible and you are so generous for using it to share so openly. Thank you.
I love technology! I just got a lesson on bow technique from one of the greats, on my couch, for free. Thank you Mr. Perlman, I admire your work, and particularly admire your teaching videos. It is a fine gift you share.
Thank you very much for your impulsive talk in the film "I know that I play every note" about how to handle the violin and also have fun while playing. That helped me a lot and significantly improved my violin playing and especially the control of the bow.
You inspire me in so many ways. If I can develop the amount of talent you have in just your pinkie, I will feel like a star. You're so amazing and talented, and as others have mentioned, you share your knowledge with us and show your generosity. You're my hero.
Thank you very much for your instruction, Mr.Perlman! I'd been taught by my Master exactly liked this way. This video helps me ensure that I'm on the right track for teaching my students! Lots of them hold the bow in the other ways. With my appreciation to you, my Idol!
I’ve been learning to play the violin for almost 3 months now and I’m still struggling to maintain a proper bow grip. This video might be the one to help me. Thank you, Maestro!
I love itzhak pealman❤️ I was impressed to hear your violin performance. This is the first time that I heard the tone of such a wonderful violin. Thank you for splendid music. Thank you for telling you.
Hello Mr. Perlman, thank you for creating beautiful music for all of my life. The arts teach us to listen, to really look and to pay attention to details - the world can sure use these qualities. God bless you.
Holy smokes! A lesson from a musical legend! I am truly honored.It's a rare thing for someone of your stature in the musical world to take time out of their day and make a basic instructional video.You sir are a great and kind person.Thank you very much.
My name is Claudio Guillard ... many words of thanks on their website ... for me it is a privilege to have this way of expressing my gratitude to you directly by the time it takes to teach their knowledge ... I am from a distant land to you ... I live in a small place in Patagonia in southern Chile .. next (part 2)
I've recently been teaching this same bow hold by teaching a few different principles to remember. The 1st is the trade-off of power vs. flexibility. The other is placement of fingers by creating balanced forces that allow us to hold the bow without reducing the flexibility. I refer to this as a "Jedi Bow Hold," because it creates a "balance in the force." :) I'm hoping to do a video soon with the run down of it. I always appreciate Mr. Perlman's simplicity, straightforwardness, and general kindness. :)
Thank you so much for this video. I have been playing the violin for many years and needed tips on having more and better bow control. Looks like it has been up for years. Wish I had seen it sooner but at least I have seen it now. I'm very appreciative and, again, thank you!!!
Hi..Mr PeArlman ! ..little by little I'm learning.. in theory!..ALL the secrets of HOW to play the violin!..:-)).. and yes..I can imagine HOW grateful the violinists who watch your teaching videos are...:-) Thanks You !
I have been practicing bow grip with methods taught me and just not working for me..I was beginning to lose hope and become discouraged but with this method my knuckles did not stick up on the first try! THANK YOU, Mr. Perlman!--Sincerely, Joni
Thankyou for the explanation of bow hold, it brought some clarity to the matter for me. Being left handed I struggle sometimes in getting my head around such things.
Mr Perlman, Thankyou for your help ,there are so many ideas on this subject and at times searching takes all he energy we could be using to acually become confident in just one in which we trust.
Thank you for taking the time to do this, it will certainly be very useful to people in my situation( was hesitant to play violin again after a long break because now i am unsure of everything, but this is really helpful, just what i need to get started again ( for the fourth time in 20 years, i'm a hopeful one). Easy access to classical and gipsy jazz backing tracks will do the rest as usual ;)
Tada, Merci Maestro you explained so much as I couldn't find the different grips I had noticed that Gabriel Faure's son used the middle finger differently and now I see I think he kept it on his thumb..interesting...your generosity is so profound. Now I must solve my string ringing problem..
Excellent advice from Maestro Perlman to be sure. I've never cared for the term "bow grip" because the word grip suggests holding something tight. I adopted "bow hold" instead many years ago but was never totally satisfied with that option either. About 10 years ago, I exchanged "hold" for "cradle" because it conveys the concept of holding or supporting gently. Of course the label is not nearly as important as the concept or action it describes, but I've found that bow cradle resonates with my students. Maestro, feel free to use bow hold or bow cradle if you like. In the interest of full disclosure, I am a conductor and double bassist who has also coached violin students.
of the fingers toward the stick. it maintains a constant pressure/tension throughout the bow stroke, primarily by using the index and middle fingers. to visualize this, hold your bow in front of you, arm completely extended with the stick and hair on the horizontal axis, and notice the angle of your fingers toward the stick. also notice that with this grip the fingers do not really overlap the front of the bow but seem to rest on top of the stick, the ring finger falling somewhat behind it
I had Itzhak Perlman come to my house in Miami Beach and show me how to grip a bow. You Tube... you CRAZY! Thank you Mr. Perlman! I have a cold beverage waiting for you here on North Bay Road the next time you're in Miami Beach!
as counter-intuitive as it seems, this really works the best for me for overall tone production, flexibility of the wrist, up-bow staccato, ricochet bowing, and legato. i'm no pro but i can move through vitali's chaconne, the mozart concertos, the beethoven romances, more minor pieces like that with relative ease. everyone's bow grip will vary according to finger length, size of the hands, and posture. i'm not a professor but for anyone who has to teach him/herself i wholly recommend this

I would like to know who were that 14 people which dislike this ! Seriously! u dislike perlman video on courses about violin! I just cant understand some people!
What he didn't say went by in a flash--around .40 --how he turns the hand from the wrist to the right for power--all the rest is fluff and self-evident-- nothing insightful here except for that tiny second... that's why I dislike this.
It is so good to see how music actually rejuvenates/maintain people not aging, looking way younger than the actual age, I mean, this video is from 11 years ago, and Perlman looks the same. Also the fact that he aged soo slowly over the years... Lolll and still u see so many people wasting thousands to millions of dollars to look younger, when music does that by free...
I’m just beginning my journey down this road n living every second! Thank u for your info on how to hold the bow ! I was getting quite a few interesting animal sounds out of my violin n was beginning to think about buying a new one!! Lol of course it couldn’t be me!! Lol but of course it was! I wish I could study violin with you! Someone asked me the question who would I most want to be stranded on an island with?? I said you of course!! I’m sure I’d not want to be rescued because you have so much musical genius to share n I would be like a big sponge!! 😃❤️🎻
i taught myself bow technique through TH-cam. i picked up the instrument again at 25 but was too poor for lessons, and didn't know where to turn for advice. the russians all played better than the rest so it seemed like a good idea to study their technique (hirschorn, heifetz, seidel, kogan, milstein, korsakov, elman). Carl Flesch identified the primary characteristic of the this grip as angularity: face a mirror, execute a full up-bow stroke on the g, elbow to the body, and notice the angle
Mr. Perlman, I watched your concert at the RCM playing the Mendelssohn Octet and it was AMAZING. I'm a former student of Janet Wilchfort and am now being taught by Arkady Yanivker (not sure if you know or have heard of them). What's your opinion on the Russian bow grip vs. the Franco-Belgian grip?
it is a pity. it helped produce such clean bowing. kogan's bowing is indicative of the russian style and hold, in that his hand is really nearly resting sideways on the bow, at such an angle that his index finger draws away from the stick and only the tip of his finger appears to make contact. the majority of the pressure really comes from the base knuckle and middle fingers. anyway, you play the violin very nicely and elegantly, David. thank you for posting your videos!
We recently went to a master class with a Professor who studied with Ivan Galamian. The teacher stressed a complete re work of the bow grip with lots of pronation. Is this the Russian grip? Also, very intensive bow arm mechanics...ideas?
Hi Mr. Perlman! I also listen and relisten over and over again your videos, especially on the bow grip. I notice that many people have stiffness in the arm, mostly in the lower arm. Is there anyway to get rid of it? Thanks.
Thank you! To hear it from your mouth- rather than just mine- has great impact for my students! (I do ask them to curve their pinky- to keep the joint flexible on small hands. What do you think?)
Perhaps the most influential, well-known violin virtuoso of our time, and still he finds the time to share his knowledge with the world. As a musician, I have the utmost respect and admiration for the man! You are an exceptional human being Itzhak! :D

This is the bow hold I teach my students. Now if they doubt me, I will show them this video and say "See, I told you so".
i miss you videos :(
She's back now j.i.c you guys don't know.
I love your videos❤

Watching in 2021 and still amazed by the humbleness of Itzhak!! Thank you!!💗💗💗
Mr. Perlman, what a delight to find that you have taken the time to do some teaching on You Tube! I appreciate it!
Something I really appreciate is his kind attitude. No arrogance or condescension. Bless you, Maestro Perlman!
1:45 can you imagine taking lessons from Itzhak Perlman? That would be incredible.
I really couldn't imagine. It would be such an honor, even just to pick his brain for a few hours, not even necessarily about music theory or the violin, but just the obstacles and hurdles he not only overcame, but by the grace of God, brought into submission.

as counter-intuitive as it seems, this really works the best for me for overall tone production, flexibility of the wrist, up-bow staccato, ricochet bowing, and legato.
i'm no pro but i can move through vitali's chaconne, the mozart concertos, the beethoven romances, more minor pieces like that with relative ease.
everyone's bow grip will vary according to finger length, size of the hands, and posture.
i'm not a professor but for anyone who has to teach him/herself i wholly recommend this

Could you teach the 'flying spiccatto'? like the ones in 'Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso'?
Thank You! :D
I'm watching your Hong Kong concert :D
I love his accent reminds of my Arab dad lol
We recently went to a master class with a Professor who studied with Ivan Galamian. The teacher stressed a complete re work of the bow grip with lots of pronation. Is this the Russian grip? Also, very intensive bow arm mechanics...ideas?
תודה רבה! 🎻♥️♥️♥️🙏🔯
Hi Mr. Pearlman you are a Genius.....thanks
This is so awesome Perlman has a TH-cam channel!
Hi Mr. Perlman! I also listen and relisten over and over again your videos, especially on the bow grip. I notice that many people have stiffness in the arm, mostly in the lower arm. Is there anyway to get rid of it? Thanks.
How much are lessons from the amazing Mr.Perlman himself?
Olá sou uma grande admiradora, para mim é um dos grandes artistas que mais me inspiram.... Vejo esses vídeos e gosto muito das dicas :)
Thank you so much for making this video :D
Thank you very much 🎶 🎻
It is amazing that the virtuoso teaches us a basics !
I've thought they don't care about the beginers.
Thank you very much for this wounderful lesson.
Some does. They are twats who have forgotten what it is to be a beginner.
Thank you! To hear it from your mouth- rather than just mine- has great impact for my students!
(I do ask them to curve their pinky- to keep the joint flexible on small hands. What do you think?)
