Thanks to Tomplay for this great arrangement to play along with. I’ll leave in the description below if you’d like to find out more about Tomplay and how you can play along with White Christmas. Ciao.
Bow Wrist Movement, Mid-bow
In the middle of the bow, we want to have wrist flexibility. In the middle of the bow, it’s a very subtle motion but it is there. We don’t want the wrist to be locked up. If the wrist is locked up, the tone will sound very beginner-esque.
For the most part, violinists feel pretty comfortable in the middle of the bow without too many issues. It’s when we get to the extreme parts of the bow that the wrist has more influence on what’s going on than in the middle of the bow and this is why a lot of violinists are very uncomfortable at the frog or the tip because the wrist really does need to change in a dramatic way.
