Keeping it simple is the way to go with bowing - too much extravagant movement or not moving enough both cause untold problems and the all important sound is lost. Let's explore it together... Mary

Thanks MaryV, I watched your bowing lesson just when I was aware that my bowing was scratchy and not controlled.
Hello Roger! I do hope you found the video helpful. Mary❤
Thank you very much for teaching me how to use a bow, something I knew nothing about. I hope you always stay healthy.
Hello, well thank you very much for your kind wishes, how lovely of you!
Please contact me if you have any questions, ok?
Take care. Mary💗
This is by far the best lesson ever. Extremely insightful and to the point. thank you
Hello! Thank you very much; I'm so glad you found it helpful. Mary💗
Really, I appreciate all your efforts and support ❤
Mary, You have something really very unique and special
Hello Moshir! Thank you very much for your very kind and supportive words, I really appreciate you contacting me. Let me know if you'd like to see anything in particular and I'll do my best.
Thanks again. Mary💗
For sure, your spiritual and soul makes me feel we speak the same language.
I am 59. Do you think I can do it?
I love it, but I have no chance to learn it
Hello Moshir!
I have been very honoured to hear from many amazing older people who have decided at this later stage of life to start the violin. Many say they didn't get a chance when younger and are grateful to be able to do this thing full of love and a great gift to the world.
So, yes, at 59 you can do it if you have a love of music, and have plenty of determination and patience!
Lots of people learn violin from TH-cam tutorials...but do you have a violin and bow?
Mary💗
Since I wrote to you I have ordered my violin and will receive it soon
I have read everything possible about the violin, the bow, the bridge, and the steering everything mathematical or what kind of wood.
Thanks Mary V. This was helpful!
Hello Nickie! Thank you very much! Mary💗
Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you very much for watching! Mary❤
Hola Mary! Otro vídeo lleno de detalles para experimentar. Vuelvo hoy de viaje después de una semana sin tocar el violín y mañana volveré a ver este vídeo para tomar buena nota de cómo practicar con el brazo derecho para seguir mejorando...es apasionante esta aventura! Mil gracias y cuídate mucho!💜🎶💜🎻💜🍁🍂🌰
Hello Lola!
I wonder how you will feel coming back to your violin - refreshed and rested? I hope so!
And your words are just wonderful; '...this adventure is exciting!'
Yes, I wholeheartedly agree!!
You have a real gift for expressing the best that life has to offer. Again you inspire Lola!
Thank you so much and take care! Mary💗
That what I want to learn in details...thanks...
Hello Moshir! Yes, me too...bowing is both simple and very intricate. Violin technique is fascinating because it involves turning something learned into something natural...thank you Moshir! Mary
I followed your advice and my tone has improved over the last weeks. I wish you could record a video about vibrating without a shoulder rest :) Your videos have been very helpful!
Hello! I'm delighted about your improved tone - fantastic!
Vibrato without a shoulder rest can be quite tricky because of the temptation to hold the violin more tightly, which can in turn tighten up the left hand. But we can learn techniques that really help, so I'll try to make a video about this as soon as I can.
Thanks again and very well done! Mary❤
Again, wonderul. Now practice, practice, with joy.
Hello. 'With joy' I absolutely love that; it's Inspirational. Thank you very much! Mary
This is a great teaching video!!! Thank you!!
Thank you, I'm delighted you like it! Mary
This definitely applies to me. Thanks Mary .
Hello Katie!
Exciting and wonderful as your vibrato videos are (BRAVO!) it's a shame if the sound and bowing are behind, as vibrato relies on great bowing to sound gorgeous as you know, so I hope you enjoy working as hard on your bowing as you obviously have with your left hand.
Keep going, Katie! Mary💗
@@violinstudiowithmaryv Thank you Mary and for watching . I’m definitely going to work on my bowing now and take on your pointers .
@@katiemartin2428 Your response is delightful, thank you ! I know you'll do really well when you put your mind to it - you always do...Mary💗
Thank you Mary!!
Hello Marta! Thank you! Mary💗
And Marta, how is your tendonitis now? Still having to be patient? 😒Mary💪💓
@@violinstudiowithmaryv Me duele 🫤. Y no dejo de tocar, entonces, me duele más ☹️
@@violinstudiowithmaryv I think I'm going to have to rest for a week. It is very difficult for me to stop practicing. Thank you Mary.
@@martatessi yes Marta, I'm so sorry, but you're right, you have to wait until the pain has really gone. How frustrating for you. 😪 You could still practice bowing on open strings, I suppose... Anyway, take care. Mary💗
Hi Mary, Thanks for this video and I hope all is well with you. When you get a moment can you discuss the pesky bouncing bow that intermittently creeps into playing. I have a new bow that I like very much but I believe sometimes its a bit bouncier than my other bow. This is an old bow and I tighten it a bit more than my other bow (slightly more then the recommended pencil width between bow wood and hair). It feels more comfortable at this wider width, but I would appreciate your views on that as well. Cheers John
Hello John! Yes, i agree the bouncing bow is really pesky!
There are two reasons for it; one is that the bow is made rigid by being too tight and becomes an untameable bucking horse.
The other is muscle tension in the bow arm, usually just above the elbow during the crucial hand-off or transfer between the upper arm and the forearm in the stroke, resulting in bounces in the middle of the stroke. Most people will start to notice this when they examine it.
Normally the bow is adjusted for different types of playing and even during a piece it is tightened and loosened. So I would forget the pencil- width idea and base your bow hair tension on your own judgement based on what you're playing; your own judgement becomes far more accurate, if difficult to describe to others, it's so personal...it becomes very obvious that whatever works is best!
So long as the stick isn't making a scraping sound on the hair, or the bow isn't bucking like a bronco, or your elbow isn't locking or reluctant to move freely in the middle of the stroke.
Tame the talents of your bouncier bow!
I could make a video on this topic, so thank you very much for the idea John.
Take care. Mary❤
Hi Mary, Thanks for the response. I'll start concentrating on the arm issues. One thing I forgot to mention is that I notice the bouncing on the A and E strings, not the G and D. Have a great day. John
