Hi, thanks for your interesting videos, these are very useful lessons and information not only for violin students but for teachers as well.

[professorV]

Hi mojamal, I did try to present the information in a way that would work for the teacher or the student, That's for your vote of confidence!

Hey Prof,

I have been looking for a video that accurately describes this technique for a while. I can honestly say that yours is by far the most helpful. I have come across other videos that explain this technique, but not in such wonderful detail as this. Thank you so very much! This will come in handy, as I am working on Mendelssohn now.

[professorV]

Thanks, BarrageHero. Good luck with the Mendelssohn!

Todd, your lessons are so informative. I have been watching them for quite some time now and surprised to find out today that your teacher was a student of Paul Rolland. Small world. We just purchase his CD "Action in String Playing" along with the companion book from Mr. Rollands son. My husband and I are novice students and are have been taking lessons from Mr. Rolland's son who is amazing... Thanks for the the video and the simplified instructions you teach.

Hi bailezz, thank you for your note. Please give him my warmest regards and best of luck to you with your studies!

That was amazing. You really should have shown an example at the beginning of it.

Yep. With a new bow that actually bounces and your video, I'm finally getting the arpeggiated passage in the Saint Saens Intro & Rondo Cap. Thanks muchos.

[yonyue]

Finally getting it! Thank you.

Woah. posts like this one remind me just how much scope for learning and development there is with the violin (at least for me). I can either get completely depressed now, or totally excited that I picked such a rich, complex and infinately beautiful instrument to learn. Before I finished the sentence I had already opted for the latter. Thanks for the inspiration.

I like this video. However, I was looking for "Saltando" bowing that is used in Prince Igor Violin II No. 17 at the Presto. It would help if I could see a demonstration for that.

[armonici]

any advice if the apreggios begin on the E string, not the G? Like E A D G G D A E E and so on? Should it starts down bow perhaps? Great vid by the way.

@zec2006

Do you hear 8 notes in each cycle? It's very clear. If you can count the 8 notes, then he must have hit that D string. What else could it be? If he didn't hit the D clearly, you'd hear 7 notes.

excelent :)

[thekidwhocameback]

professor V, Could you explain what "Viotti's style of bowing" is? This came up on Sevcik. Can you tell me where I can find this example? or could you post a video about it? Thank you for all your videos. Very generous of your time...
