WHOAOAAAAAAAAAA DO IT YOU GUYS

FLYING WITH YOUR INSTRUMENT

“Excuse me, would you be able to check—”

“Can you move your instrument out of the way? I don’t have space for my roller bag—”

“Why didn’t you just check—”

“Your instrument takes up too much space”

“Why are you traveling with your instrument?”

reblog if u understand this inspirational message

I read it in bass clef and spent too much time trying to figure out what the hell was so inspirational about ecddcbg.

hauntingly beautiful.

woah there, that just hit my feels real hard.

lmfao it sounds so beauty on violin„,

I just got super confused cause I was reading the comment about reading this in bass clef so I automatically started reading it in bass but then my violinist instinct kicked in and so I read the second half in treble. Whoops.

GOTTA BE A STRING PLAYER

gonfal asked: I'm thinking OP with the vibrato problem actually has a tension problem. My advice: sans violin, stand as comfortably as you can. Take your left hand, and touch your thumb to your second finger. Everything should feel loose. Take your right hand, your left hand shouldn't resist. Use RH and move your LH in vibrato motion, make sure you're not resisting. In slow motion with the violin, rest your LH third finger on the string, and relax your wrist back, and then move it back up. Check for tension.

exploringaesthetics asked: I agree with the last post. My advice for vibrato is to chill, both physically and mentally, and make your sound as characteristic (grotesque, gorgeous, brilliant, pale, earthy, etc.) as possible. Work on vibrato as for variety needed but stressing out about it has the opposite effect. Different bodies and different set-ups have different natural preferences for certain types of vibrato. Musicality is the primary objective. Happy Music Making!

Exactly this!!
