I needed this video, thank you! I’ll sleep better at night, when I can finally bow straight.
Yay 👏
This tutorial was very helpful. Thanks!😃🙌
OMG this is so good and convinient. I've been learning the violin (mostly self learnt) since July 14 excerising my left hand so much, my right hand is able to be flexible, put enough force yet tends to not be able to keep the bow straight, might be because I'm focusing on the left hand too much and especially with faster notes, string crossings where it changes pressure points or cresendo that the bow seemingly "just suddenly slides".
Reading article also helped a lot with understanding the bow better but it is hard to visualize what "bowing in an eight" is since I do want to try that out to see maybe I can get used to it better than bowing straight
Wonderful!
Wonderful, Violinist Zlata!! 😀 Seriously, many thanks indeed. I've been playing for 6 months now, several hours a day every day (in shortish sessions). Learning and playing the violin makes me feel really happy and destressed - I don't know why, but I'm glad it does. (I already play piano and organ to a high level. Also flute).
I'm 54 so I didn't have high expectations for what I could achieve when I started the violin, but I'm really happy with my progress. I've got very much further than I ever hoped - including a consistently good tone and even double stopping! (I'm certain that playing the organ - musical multitasking - helps a lot with this. Maybe that's why Bach put so much double stopping in his partitas?!).
Until today, I thought I was bowing straight (perpendicular to the strings) but today whilst on holiday, I found a mirror at the right height to see my bowing, and discovered that I really wasn't!! Such a strange optical illusion: everything looked completely fine looking from my playing position. The one giveaway that all was not well was that my bow tended to drift / skid away from the bridge slightly when playing F# on the A string (first note of Thaïs méditation), and that note didn't sound right either.
From your wonderful video, I discovered that the visual illusion is quite normal, and I also discovered that there's a whole lot more to bowing than I realized!!
Certainly lots to learn and master here. And very timely too!
I will take your advice, and work at each aspect carefully and progressively, resisting the urge to rush ahead.
Thanks again.
😀
Glad it was helpful, John!
My congrats🤩, excellent explain action.
You’re welcome
Zlata, you are a genius at the BOW!! I recommend BOW LIKE A PRO paid lessons with you!!
Aw, thanks so much!
Love your channel hope to work with you one day
You’re so welcome ☺️
These are great tips, thank you Zlata! You don't happen to have these as a printable or an article, do you? Otherwise I'll forget as soon as I close this tab. 😀
I want to try the toilet paper roll technique. I think what I'll do is buy a dowel rod that's the same length and thickness as my bow (CodaBow Diamond GX, based off of your previous videos) so I don't mess up the hair.
I've got something like that here: violinlounge.com/how-to-bow-straight-on-the-violin/
When you are doing the "pencil" exercises, are you "rolling" the pencil up and down or what?
When I try to move the pencil up and down by flexing my fingers nothing happens.
No, the pencil moves by curving the pinky. It's like the thumb is underneath and it's a bit of a see saw.
@@violinlounge thank you for the reply but it is still not working.
Went back to the drawing board.....I think it is working better now. Thanks for your assistance

Can teach me?
Sure 👍🏻
