tonebase Violin Course

Left Hand Relaxation

Taught by renowned violinist 

Augustin Hadelich

In this "Ask Augustin" video, he answers the question: "How do you keep your left hand relaxed even while playing lots of fast notes?" We build stamina over time the more we practice relentless left-hand passages (and take breaks), though Augustin has found certain technical movements to be critical toward this end.
