thanks, same room, same setup with camera (phone). The first clip is my 15.5 viola. The second video is with the 4/4 violin. I see where my bowing is off. I seem to adjust fingering for the smaller instrument, but not my bowing. Of course, my sound is good when I’m not wincing in pain (If you watch “Poker Face” on my YouTube channel, you will see…[Read more]

Love this tune https://youtu.be/GvFOiig5RKM?si=2utqlHhSLbGoPK5T
Need to work on proper left hand mechanics and smooth out movement. Intonation improving since I’ve been using drones.

Curious if I want to (or should I?) Add double stops to notes I play on the G string can I use the open A (or open G on Vla) or do I need to add fingering to that higher string? Thanks

I watched your first 4 videos on the series for chords before I subscribed. I really want to jump ahead and get right into the thick of it but worried I may get myself in trouble. Working on double stops pretty good. Can’t wait to be there.

I love this tune. I can hear your intonation improvement from the first video unless it was just the drone (which I love now that I learned about doing lessons this way) that was distracting me.

I can play all these tunes if not by ear but find myself struggling with some of the adaptation (Hoe down eek). This is helping. Started a journal (a tip from your office hours…[Read more]
