I never heard it called "the harmonic highway " lol I love it.

I played violin from 6th grade through 12th. I was even first chair in high school. After graduation, I rarely picked it up. Fast-forward 30 years through marriage, kids, career, etc., now, sadly, I can't even remember how to read the music. My fingers can still play certain songs but by their memory only, if that makes sense. I'm ready to re-learn. This is a great beginner instructional. I'm hoping I can regain what I've lost quickly as I realize how much I miss playing.

I know right? they should play this as elevator music in all professional buildings, especially so musicians can practice in between floors when riding.

Chris, I want to see what your bow hand does withyour fingers, wrist and all. My wrist is so stiff I cannot get that loose look when coming towards the frog and going up to the tip and coming down from the top again. I have a rigid stiff hand with 4 fingers while the thumb holds on to its place as the bow wants to fall to the ground.

Hi Eugenie, Please check out my video about Bow Control Exercises for Smooth Change & Strong Sound kzread.info/dash/bejne/pIOG08OLoqXdd7A.html Happy Practicing 🙂

Long bow strokes are so critical for practice. I tried practicing Jitterbug Waltz with a bunch of short strokes on my 5 string, then increased the length until now it’s just 2. It didn’t start sounding good until then.
