i heard we're not supposed to use our left hand to prop up the violin while playing the notes. so does that mean we use the shoulder/neck grip thing to counter the pressure when we press down on the strings with our fingers?

do you have to have a shoulder pad?

very helpful thanks. Could you do a video on how to get vibrato by using the correct holding position. I can't seem to get my fingers to do vibrato it is like i am holding it wrong.
