Lori Jean Smith :Sure! That's awesome just keep good contact with the string in the middle of your bow, less bow is more in this case good bow speed (energy) in each stroke, while keeping the amount (length) of bow you are using under control. Also, be sure to work with a metronome!! Hope that helps!

Me:I feel like I need to play into the strings more to keep good contact and avoid slipping, is that accurate?

Lori Jean Smith :Yes! That is a good assessment. It also helps to tilt the stick of the bow away from you by bending your wrist and bringing your arm to a position over the bow. Just keep your elbow lower than your wrist. This helps the bow to avoid slipping toward bridge or over fingerboard. Best sound comes from 'sweet spot' in the middle between the fingerboard and the bridge.

Little! Have your slurs all worked out if you're doing some. The faster I play the more I slur generally. Be aware of the bow pressure
Remaining constant. I must join fiddle forum. Good luck with it.P-
