the foundations of violin playing ARE technique

It REALLY is best if students and parents take time to set up posture as well bowing hand and violin hand. If we don’t, we will end up spending MORE TIME later CORRECTING it.

As a Suzuki mom myself to a violinist kid, I am seeing this play out right now. We are correcting alignment in my kid’s left hand in relation to the fingerboard. It is taking a long time and is requiring a lot of patience and humble, deliberate, attentive work.

If only we had slowed down a little…

It IS worth spending the time. Take a deep breath and enjoy the adventure! 🙂
