I think I made some real progress with this today, I wanted to carry on but my hour for lunch was up. Probably just as well really because my bowing arm was getting pooped. 

I think I had my elbow too low before, my fingers weren't really hanging from the wrist over the bow if you see what I mean. Elevating my elbow slightly (respectively for each string of course) made it much easier to flex my fingers. I didn't worry too much about exaggerating the up and down bow holds but just concentrated on finger flexibility in bow changes. I managed to remove most of the bounce again once the movement started to feel a bit more natural.

I could have sworn my bow change started to sound less scratchy. I may be imagining it but I think the adjustment to my bow hold has improved the tone of my notes in general also. 

More practice tomorrow and a new video on the weekend I think!

Overall a much more encouraging session today 

Sorry Terry I Don't quite follow, I am using forth finger and it is the source of most of my poor intonation one way or another. But that's how it's supposed to be done so I will struggle on.

Now I am more comfortable with my bow hold, this week I really want to work on my left hand/wrist especially my string changes!

Any tips peeps? My wrist always looks really bad to me of late but I don't really see how to keep it straight and reach all the finger positions.

Also my first bow (stroke)? On a new note often sounds a lot squeakier than subsiquents ones, any thoughts there?

Many thanks as always!

Thanks Naska, which hand are you talking about by the way?
