    He just put his hands on the violin and perfection just happened; I’m pretty sure that’s due to a good mix between amazing talent and lots of practice, motivation and dedication.

    Short, but excellent tutorial. The focus on the "building blocks" of the initial bite effected by the index finger and efficient bow strokes is demonstrated very well, and Kreutzer #4 is, of course, a perfect basic vehicle for this that is good to return to frequently. I should say it is one thing to be an outstanding soloist (which you are!!), but another to also be a great communicator. Thanks for posting these clips!

    Love such clean sparkly sound. What is the most important thing to practice or aspect to be a good violinist please- what do we need to spend our practice time on? How to practice? I realise tone, intonation, rhythm, bow skills, phrasing musical understanding etc are all ingredients of making good music but the most basic and crucial things we should do first rather than preparing pieces(often endless repetition to overcome technical difficulty-intonation, shifting etc). Can you make a video on that please? Also how and what you practised when you were a student, thanks.

    Hey Kerson, you are a monster, I really love all your videos, I wonder sometimes if you are really human :-D
    I will very very happy if a day, you can publish a video on the good left hand frame / shape especially in first two and third positions, sometimes my frame is "perfect" and I can reach all notes I want in tune and sometimes I struggle to find this perfect balance, with this problem, my intonation become random and it's very frustrating because I have a good ear and I know instantly there is a problem.
    When I found the correct hand frame / balance, I can't explain how it happen ( I speak about purely mechanic terms) I tried multiple postures, thumb position, hand height, to change the part of the finger who landing on the fingerboard, with all these personal tests, I feel now confused and it make me very sad per moment..
    I noticed that the thumb position of Ruggiero Ricci or Shlomo Mintz in third position improve a lot my intonation but when I shift in the first position with this thumb setting, I feel suddenly very inconfortable and I have to change drastically my hand position to retrieve my intonation in the first position.. If I keep the same hand frame of my first position in third position, that's now my third position who is not balanced..
    Can you clear my brain with your own explanations because your playing is just perfect and I'm sure you can light my dark mindstate :-)
    Sorry for my horrible English, I'm french.
    Thanks again Kerson 💪

    Hi Kerson,
    Another great video, keep it up!💪
    I was kind of struggling with deciding how I should refine my staccato stroke because I was used to doing the one you demonstrated in this vid, which gets great catch and clarity but I found it hard getting the speed really fast. Do you think if I continue practicing staccato like how you show in this vid the speed will become sufficient for say pieces like hora staccato? Or will I have to learn an alternative way of doing it, say by tensing the forearm? Thanks and I hope you're doing well 😀

    Hey Kerson. Just wondering what rosin you use? Mine seems to make a good sound but I feel like the grip is a bit lacking.

      Hilary Hahn once said in one of her videos on chin rests and shoulder rests that some spongy pads that can be used as shoulder rests can be found in chemists. I'm not sure whether it's the same thing he's using, but give it a try.

      I think in hora staccato we bounce a little in starting and move forward
      Am I correct with the method?

    I ACTUALLY DISAGREE WITH YOU. YOU HAVE A NICE STACCATO BUT I DON'T THINK YOU ACTUALLY LEARN IT BY FIRST DOING IT SLOWER THEN GRADUALLY GOING FASTER AND FASTER. IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY WORK THAT WAY.
    IT'S A CERTAIN FRICTION/TENSION OF THE ARM AND WRIST WHICH MAKES IT HAPPEN. NOT EVERYONE GETS IT. IN FACT YOU COULD SPEND YEARS TRYING AND NEVER GET IT. I GOT IT JUST BY WATCHING SOMEONE ELSE DOING IT. BUT GOING FROM SLOW TO FAST IS NOT A WAY TO GET THE FAST STACCATO. PROBABLY ONE OF THE VERY FEW IF NOT THE ONLY THING WHERE SLOW PRACTICE IS NOT WORKING;
