I’ve been recording my rendition of both “Lightly Row” and “Song of The Wind”. What’s really helpful about taking video of myself playing these beginner songs is realizing how much attention I need to put in my bowing. The videos reveal that my bow placement is not centered and my bow hold is a little messy. As a result, I tend to get squeakiness here and there and a lot of bow trembling.
Since I was able to identify this problem I looked up several tips on YouTube on proper bow hold. I will practice some techniques and drills and hopefully by the time I record “Go Tell Aunt Rhody”, I would have improved my sound a bit more. I’m excited! Below are the drills I will put to practice.
