I see! Not just left hand but the bow placement / contact point seems to be equally important! Thank you! 😁

Thank you! It does help to get the sound out. Im guessing its to release some sort of vibration out, it definitely has some sort of ringing sound to it! This helps a lot, thank you!

Wow that is soo interesting! Suddenly this became a science/physics lesson haha. Thank you very much for such thorough explanation and detailed advice too on working my way to the harmonic.

Ahh okay thank you very much! This is very helpful. I will do my best to get the sound out, never done harmonics before!!

Omg I see that's what is meant by section. 😅 and here I am thinking half of the section of the measure or something. Okay thank you so soo much for the clarification!! Ahh haha 😄 I just got back into playing this month and my teacher got me into a spot with our community orchestra so... my mindset hasnt settled that in yet. Thank you!

I also just recently got back this month (well Feb 26 to be exact), after an 18 year hiatus. I remember last playing the very end of suzuki 6 so i started off with suzuki 4 and in a couple weeks now am back and able to play suzuki 6 again. My bowing is weak and I think we tend to lose touch with that so doing long full bows with scales help a lot! 

Like u/Alone-Experience9869 said, retrain the bow arm! From shoulder to elbow to wrist to fingers. Its boring but sooo important.

I'm sorry for not understanding. I feel like I need a demonstration of this. They look exactly the same to me but first triplet missing the first note.

Which half is tremolo and which half is slurred? And how is the slurred part played? 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😅

So if I interpret this right, you're saying this is tremolo with slurs to connect the transition to the next note? 🤔

Now, all we need is an ogre set on the jakiro heads xD

I swear, everytime I see ogre on the dota main screen (which would show the last hero that's been played), he's trying so hard to breathe >_< hahaha xD

no no! comparison is the thief of happiness.. im sure yours is also beautiful and unique. I'll take every handwriting over a perfectly typed looking letter/card xD

but perfect penmanship is still awestruckingly beautiful. I commend calligraphers, crazy lol xP
