The Violin Beginner Arm Should Learn To Relax Naturally
Nervousness is the most common obstacle in the violin learning process, so understanding and practicing relaxation is the first lesson for everyone who wants to learn the violin. Try to shrug your shoulders up and be very nervous. We can find that as long as the shoulder is tense, then the whole arm will be tense. How to solve: first put the shoulders down, naturally droop, in a state of complete relaxation, as long as the shoulders are relaxed, the whole arm will naturally relax, "the left finger raised very high will slow down, the finger raised too low, the sound played is often not clear." So we have to find a balance between the two, and we have to use different heights of the left finger when playing phrases of different natures. Finger movements should be low when playing singing phrases, and higher when playing technical phrases. "'Use the same bow speed before and after the bow change!' But let me tell you, sometimes we need to consciously increase the speed of the bow in order to keep the same sound, especially when

playing the lower bow, in order to keep the sound low when we reach the tip of the bow, which is the same as the draw I said above, but it is a completely different thing in substance. "You need to carefully experience it in the process of practicing, your hands are clenched into fists, and your fingers are in a tense state at this time. How to solve it: When your hands are naturally opened, your fingers will relax. The so-called tension is to see whether the whole arm and fingers have reached the conscious exertion, and after exerting the strength, there will definitely be tension. Due to the natural form of the bow itself (the tip of the bow is light and the bow root is heavy), there is a natural tendency to become lighter when playing the lower bow, and there is a natural tendency to become stronger when the bow is up, and this natural tendency to move the bow is not always consistent with the musical intention to be played.
