Thanks. I went thru a phase when almost any downbow would bounce. I still get it occasionally but not so much once I started putting a tiny bit of pressure from the index finger (mostly) on the bow instead of depending solely on gravity and the weight of the bow for all contact. I look forward to your videos.
Great to see your latest video, Liz! As a non-violinist, I find it really interesting when you explain the finer points of violin technique. Here, for your amusement, is my "WRONG ANSWERS ONLY!" edition of your "How do you solve a bouncy bow?" tutorial: 1. Perch a large parrot or several small canaries on the tip of the bow to add extra weight. Train the birds to fly over to your music stand when they hear passages requiring freedom of movement... or you need a page turn! 2. Tie a bungee cord to the tip of the bow and wrap the other end around your foot to absorb unwanted vibrations. Decrease the tension as needed by lifting your foot to the desired height. Playing on one foot will be fun! 3. Line the bow with magnets and install magnets of the opposite polarity on the violin to create an attracting force. If some repertoire requires a bouncy bow, just replace the permanent magnets on the violin with electromagnets and use a foot switch to turn them on or off. Click click! There you go! Now anyone can learn to control a bouncy bow, and they don't even have to "practice" or "work hard" to master the technique. 😁 Wishing a very healthy and happy new year to you and yours, Liz! 💞

I have found that being shy about drawing the bow across the strings…the fear of bad sounds or wrong notes…caused a lot of bow bounce when I started. Also crooked bowing and super cheap bows…😬😬🤪
THAT is correct - Speaking from an adult POV - We are so concious of the correct arm movements (upper arm then open elbow - elbow comes forward - wrist chages etc) that we forget to just let it go Children play from the shoulder and bow goers crooked - but that playing from the shoulder NEEDS to be done up to the balance point, then the hand and arm straighten the bow, in fact it never really goes crooked - What helps me when I get shaky downbow at heel is to think to pull away from the shoulder - FIXED FIXED FIXED !!! :)

AMAZING how your violin playing during the intro music sounds so much like a guitar!!! ;-)

My problem is awkward bouncing if I do vibrato from tip to frog bowing.
Do you teach online students if yes then price?
