    Thanks for this checklist during playing, amazing how simple actions can influence the sound. Also experiencing that your violin selfmis teaching you by the resonance on a good intonation. It is good to be aware of listening to the best teacher: yourself. And never trust your intonation, also a good one! 😃

    • @violinlounge

      This could be a Wolf tone. Google for it, because there are several options. The easiest option to try first is to use a different brand/type of strings.

  • @darleenlee9125
    @darleenlee9125 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    As an adult, self learning with TH-cam videos and books, I find you tutorials very helpful. I’ve been struggling with tone and realise that my bowing has not been straight, which I’m now working on, and after I wiped the rosin off my strings it did sound better.
    Something that I do notice is that sometimes I get an airy sort of note either when I do a stop or release. I’m thinking it’s the way I press on the string. Maybe I need to tap a bit harder? Do you know what I mean?

    • @violinlounge
      @violinlounge  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, it's a matter of balancing weight, speed and contact point. Bowing straight will also help. Check out this video as well: violinlounge.com/how-to-stop-surface-noise-on-the-violin-and-create-a-deep-sound-violin-lounge-tv-367/

    As an amateur violin enthusiast who has practiced without formal violin education,
    I have concerns about the uniformity of bow movements among orchestra members during performances.
    Specifically, when observing violinists and cellists, I notice that their bow angles and directions appear consistent.
    Is this uniformity a result of music education, or do musicians follow the conductor’s instructions during rehearsals?
    I am capable of playing, but I worry that my bow movements
    -specifically whether to play by pushing or pulling the bow-might be perceived differently
    by professionally trained violinists.
    Is this choice of how to move bow standardized during music education?
    I asked artificial intelligence about this point, then it replied 'there is no regulation about,
    and uniformity of bows of orchestra members are conducted by leader during rehearsals'. is AI reply right?
    ***
    AI replied also :
    'There is no universal rule for violinists regarding bow movements during violin performances.
    Just like violin masters exhibit different bow techniques, each musician may have their own unique approach.
    Some violinists maintain a consistent direction when moving the bow (whether pushing or pulling)
    even when changing strings, while others intentionally change the direction of the bow to achieve specific musical effects.
    The choice often depends on the individual player’s style, interpretation, and the desired sound.'

    • @violinlounge
      @violinlounge  หลายเดือนก่อน

      There's a difference between orchestral playing and solistic playing. As an orchestral player you need to blend and create one sound with your section and the orchestra. It's team work. Bow direction is chosen by the concert master and the section leaders. I've got a great resource with some rules on bow direction: violinlounge.com/up-bow-or-down-bow-22-violin-bowing-rules-violin-lounge-tv-467/

      clean the string eith a soft dry cloth after u ended the playing session
      too little makes your hairs go sideways too much gives a soggy sound
