Amazing. I am not a violin player but do play pieces written for violin, These videos help a lot to achieve stuff like harmonics that is not peculiar to my instrument. THANKS A MIL! I wish I came across with your channel before I played Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy.

Thanks Professor Julia. This was an incredibly helpful lesson!

Beautiful educational lesson video! I will have to try out practicing some of those harmonics. Thank you! I always enjoy your instruction and your very talented violin students.

I am practising these artificial harmonics and this was helpful! Thank you so much.

Polly is a pro.

You are welcome!

I appreciate your videos so much. I am currently working on Saint Saens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso and am struggling with the long upbow spicatto (or is it upbow staccato). Would you address this in a video to help me and possibly others? It would mean the world to me coming from a knowledgeable professional as yourself. 🙏🙏🙏

Thinks 👍👍❣️❣️❣️

Hi :-) Could you please make a video about sound production? I would be interested to know your thoughts on how a good forte sound should be made in your opinion - through adding a vertical weight to the index finger or using a flat wrist and pulling/pushing the bow (more of a horizontal weight)? I have found there is a different kind of sound in the US that is more direct and penetrating and seems to be made with a low wrist and arm weight. In Europe, sound seems to be less direct, lighter and a bit more flexible but not usually as loud… would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks 😊

It is a very good question, thank you! I have to think if making a video would be feasible, though, as I do not think that the sound is good enough with the clip-on microphone that I use...

@@ViolinClassUSA thanks for your reply! I think even a video with the different ways/styles of sound production would be interesting. For some reason, I feel sound and sound production isn’t addressed enough. I studied at NEC in Boston and then later in Germany/Switzerland and I found it soo interesting how different both places were in terms of sound preferences!

Sometimes I have the impression that when playing the fourth finger light during an artifical harmonic is a little bit higher than when playing just that fourth finger as a single stop (just normal note). Is that right?

There is a slight change in tension when you stop the note making the placement a little wider than with a natural harmonic.

Thank you for a good question! My answer would be both yes and no. There is actually a 'margin of error' - or leeway - as far as where precisely the 4th finger touches. It will sound just a bit brighter if the 4th is exactly in the spot of the regular note, but it also will sound if it slightly sharper. And some of it would be our personal perception as well.

Your student is so pretty ❤️🤗

Sometimes notation is confusing for me. Some excerpts examples would be appreciated.
