There are so many things we need to do all at once when we first start playing. We have to hold the bow correctly, keep our wrist straight, maintain consistent bow pressure, etc. And that’s all before we start reading notes and making music.
So I think it’s helpful with any aspect of our playing technique to break it down into easily achievable (and remembered) steps. That’s what I’ll do in this video lesson. We’ll get your left hand positioned correctly in a few easy steps, which you can repeat every time you practice, until proper left-hand position becomes second nature. And trust me, it will!
