This episode is a lifesaver. I have been dealing with tension issues since a car accident that happened in 2005. The tension goes away for days but it comes back sometimes. I’ll work on these exercices. I’m sure it will be life changing
Thank you ! Mrs.Keys! This is excellant instruction for me. My 4th grade Violin instructor told me that I was choking my violins neck! I felt to ashamed and embarrased!! All those 40 years I let go of playing the instrument. Over the last 10 years Ive picked it up again. Thank you for this simple anti thumb exercise! Most greatful!❤❤
Wow, this is fantastic information! I’m just an adult (old!) beginner but I can tell already these videos are pure gold. Thank you very much for sharing your expertise.
Thank you. Thumb tension is a daily battle for me. Ironic, really, as it's the only left-hand digit that never plays a note, yet it's the one giving me most of the trouble!
Thank you so much for share this with us, i was just trying to get better my vibrato today with any sucess and i couldnt find out the reason why, and then this video show up for me like it was magic hahaha, now ill i have to do is to practice :)
As a child i had an accident with my left thumb, and the doctor has removed my nail on it. So when i played violin, i had pain on my thumb, because it touched the neck. I have learned, that when i do not touch it to the neck of the violin, it does not hurt and still can play… i did it for half a year. From that moment my left hand is much better.
Thank you for all your videos. I do have a tensed left thumb. I was told that it may be because it sits too close to the scroll. Could that be an explanation? I am asking because I like having my thumb close to the scroll as a counterbalance to my pinky.
I was working on my A flat minor scale and it was brutal to keep the frame. Leaning against a wall was a game changer for me. Now it is time to file for that amicable divorce.

Clicked on a random video and end up finding a diamond for my violin technique, this video should be watched by all violinists!
That last bit where you showed the difference between playing Bach squeezing with your neck and thumb and only resting the violin was incredible.
Bayla, the pain in your thumb is exactly where my pain is. That's why I'm hear learning how to deal with it! Thanks!

the thumb squeezes because the player perceives the instrument is unstable, its a shoulder/chin rest issue
wow thankyou mam
