Bring your violin, some music, something to take notes with, and an open mind.

You may find your bow touching other strings, going sideways, or wobbling when you're aiming for a clear, resonant tone - and you may feel tension in your bow arm, shoulder, or bow hold without knowing how to fix it. 80% of your sound comes from your bow. In this video, I'll show you 5 steps to fix your bow hold and bow arm, gain more control and flexibility, and make your bow feel natural and effortless.
