Julia, thank you so much for your videos. I'm trying to learn by myself at 42 years old and very much appreciate your thoughtfulness in describing the technical aspects and nuances of each step. You're an excellent teacher and I'm genuinely improving and proud of it! Thank you so much.
Dear Ms. Bushhkova, Thank you so much for this detailed and valuable explanation for the function of each finger of the bow. I will continue to refer back to this video as I work on my bowing technique.
After years of learning how to refine the bridge so that it becomes a vibrating extension of the strings producing resonance and a high degree of clarity and string sensitivity, I find that it has become much easier to create a wonderful tone. The sound has actually caused me to shift certain controls in the fingers with the responsiveness of the strings. Kind of a natural development.
Thank you so much for this video. Fully educational and deeply instructive. As usual, clear explanations full of rich details to think about. It is a real pleasure!! Thanks again!!
Julia you must make a video lesson on the legs and the waste enhances the nuances in the tone .very grateful of the mysteries of the violin technique .you are teaching us .When I find time I will compose a piece for you either for solo violin and string quartet or violin and pianoforte and dedicate it to you .vaya con Dios .
When you rotate the thumb it actually looks as if the forearm is rotating along with it which seems to be a safer way to allow the movement to happen. Trying to rotate the thumb independently or focusing on finger action without the larger arm support (the rotation at the elbow joint where supination and pronation really occur based on anatomical truth) that initiates the pronation and supination could lead to injury and pain. The radius (lower arm bone on the thumb side) is doing the rotating and the ulna (the lower arm bone on the pinkie side) is not. So it is important to know where to rotate from and not exclusively think of the thumb as doing the rotation. The movement you are showing looks safe and free- you appear to be initiating the rotation from the elbow joint.
Hello Julia - greetings from the UK! I am double-jointed and was wondering if there was any way to avoid the right hand “pinkie” locking straight whilst bowing. As an adult beginner, I find your insights invaluable - please keep posting and thank you for all that you have shared so far - it is so very much appreciated.
Hi I am not an expert but I have thought about this. Maybe you need to put your pinkie on the near side of the octagonal surface at the frog. (Rather than on top of the frog). So that if your pinkie remains relaxed (there should always the ability to relax) then if would curl the correct way. Rather than slipping over and your little finger becoming straight or the bend inverted. I hope you have fixed your bow hold problem if you had one. Regards from UK
What I learned from the video: aha! relax, hold the bow lightly, glide the bow over the strings, how much easier and flowing! Much smoother and nicer sound. Thanks.
I have been told that the pinky would be better placed if it is not right at the top of the bow but slightly nearer you. So just off the top and slightly near you.
I saw bowing technique video in which the teacher states that the second finger is the "guide" and the other fingers follow it. What do you think of this idea?
Can you talk about what to do when students just CAN NOT keep the pinky on the bow stick curved and it always become straight and stiff? I have tried so hard for SO MANY YEARS and to no avail, it's driving me crazy!!! Should I use one of those bow hold aids on the market?
Are you dealing primarily with very young students (children)? There are different ways teaching younger age children. I am not against some props, but I suggest to use them for a short period of time only, more like an example. The reasons why pinkies may be straight are many. It could be that the bows are too heavy - in which case, they should hold them not at the frog but much higher. It could be that the ring finger is high on the stick and the pinky cannot curve... and other issues.
@@ViolinClassUSA Thank you so much. My students are younger but not actually that young, the youngest are around 10 but they are beginners, and then there are some older ones who transferred to me but I haven’t had a good way to break their bad habit. Thanks for the suggestion, I will pay more attention to their ring finger height and bow weight (but I don’t think it’s too heavy).
I’m left handed an have terrible bow control, but can’t really figure it out even with all the Tipps. Fingers are slipping, pinky is weak, string crossings are not clean :/
Monika, for most left-handers the bow control is much more difficult. Do not despair. You need to have the double of perseverance and double the work. The good news is many of the left-handers manage to overcome the weaknesses. Good luck to you! I hope you are subscribed and will be able to study all of my videos.
@@ViolinClassUSA Thank you for the pick-me-up :) I continue to work on my right hand. control. What seems to be more difficult ist, that i am much "further" in progress with my left hand and my right one can'´t keep up. I am subscribed and love your videos, thank you for all your help!
Все гораздо проще янкелевич об яснял действия правой руки это пронация и супинация придвижении вверх упор на мизинец придвижении вниз ведущий указательный
К сожалению, и по-русски, и (часто даже) по-английски, существует неверное замещение понятий пронация и супинация. В то время, как Вы (или сам Юрий Исаевич) верно обозначаете пронацию (мы используем ее почти постоянно, меняя только ее угол), слово "супинация" к ведению смычка вообще никак не относится. Вот обозначение этого (медицинского) термина: "Супинация - это вращательное движение конечности или её части кнаружи. Например, если происходит супинация кисти руки, согнутой в локте под углом 90 градусов, то кисть из положения ладонью вниз поворачивается в положение ладонью вверх."
OMG, this is the most useful bow basics video I have ever watched. Thank you Julia!

I am glad they are helpfiul!
I also trying to play by myself but I am onlv 68 years . I play on piano but the violin much difficult. Need more technichal
Exactly what I needed to see and hear! Thank-you!
Another outstanding and informative video that I will share with my students. Bravo!
This is the best and most useful explanation I ever heard!
This is the main problem of my daughter with the viola. As usual a great help, Julia. Thank you a very lot
This is so helpful. I never knew how to make my students do it well, thank you for the clear explanation.
You are very welcome!
Thank you Professor.
For pricise explanation. 😀😀😀

Thank you for your precise teaching. I am a beginner and I agree about the confusing 'Colle' finger movements! I am so glad I found you!
This is such a clear, concise video that everyone should watch. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for this video. Fully educational and deeply instructive. As usual, clear explanations full of rich details to think about. It is a real pleasure!! Thanks again!!
I forgot how much a role the 2nd and 3rd finger have- thank you!
Very insightful, thank you very much.
This is such a great channel, thank you for your wonderful contribution to our education

Hello, my right hand thumb hurts when I play violin, could you suggest anything ? Thank you in advance

Great video ! What kind of Violin are you using?
This is a Carl Becker violin
hi professor I always have a problem with the position of the bow that tends to be near the keyboard, how to solve ? thanks.
The keyboard???
