Practice Tips:
- Challenge yourself to find and identify different characters in the music
- Observe the differences in technique required to achieve the charaters – however minute they might be
- When changing between positions – remember to travel with your left hand thumb and to release any pressure or tension between the thumb and the violin when playing – and especially when shifting to new positions!
Happy Practising!
