Hey, ProfessorV, I've just seen your videos for the first time. This one is a great explanation of martele bowing, but I am curious: you didn't mention anything about bow speed. When I was working on this several years ago, my teacher was all about getting a good bow speed, especially on the up bow, so that I would have time to prepare for the next stroke (especially in trying to get to the frog). Is that something you left for another lesson, or is it just a given?

Hi fiddler927, Good point! Yes, bow speed is a very important element of martele. The release after the bite should be made with bow speed and relaxed bow hold. Thanks.

Hi Todd, great videos. I've had this little "glitch" with my martele bowing for a really long time. Almost always, when I am trying to do multiple marteles in a single bow, there is fuzz between notes on my account of the bow slipping. So intead of start stop, mine's more of a start stop slide. Do you have any tips to help me with this?

[professorV]

Well... Do you mean the bow slips towards the f.b. or bridge? Perhaps when you prepare the bow for the martele, i.e. squeeze the index finger and thumb, you actually cause the bow to pull towards you. Let me know if that sounds right, or if I am way off.

hi.. you teach well.. but i wanna ask if when I'm gonna use that martele bowing or how could i identify if the note must play in martele bowing? waiting for your answer thanks

[maryam0psy]

is there a sign or symble on on the note sheet that indicates the need for a martele? or is it just something one chooses to do or not to?

Hey... that's incredible. Now I can start to make songs sound alive rather than the flat boring tunes I've been playing. I haven't started vibrato yet so I need all the tips I can get.. ha ha!
