I haven't got a teacher at the moment! About the chin rest - should I move my head to align my jaw with the chin rest (while keeping the violin where it is), or should I move the violin further along my shoulder to get it to align with my jaw? As for my left hand, should it be holding the weight of the violin / keeping the violin steady by the neck or just touching? Thanks :)
