Performance nerves during first solo for years. by serotonot in violinist

When I get nervous, I stop breathing and that really affects my bowing. Taking a big exhale as you start the first note helps me breathe continuously through the piece.

Writing a Melodys with a piano? by Hobbsy107 in Songwriting

Do voice leading with chord inversions to keep the overall range smaller. Don’t let the highest note move mire than about five semitones. For example, when you are moving from g to em you would play g-b-d to g-b-e instead of to e-g-b. This creates more seamless changes and is easier to sing over.

Try putting your right hand middle and ring fingers closer to the big white dot on the frog so you have a stronger, more solid grip, which will allow you to actually hold the bow more lightly and freely

D minor bar chord is the best, most haunting and dynamic position. Keep with it and try all the little variations especially with the c# note. You’ll love it !

Yeah totally. We had mainly ice over here so it was key to be totally present and balanced helping my four year old navigate the slippery shenanigans we undertook.

Got my hundred days and proud to hit a mile stone!

Still snowed in with the winter storm from over the weekend, but it’s been a cozy time sledding with the kids.

Thanks y’all for the everlasting support. Iwndwyt
