In order to achieve control over our dynamics we need to work on three key elements with our bow arm. Bow speed, bow pressure and contact point (position between the bridge and fingerboard).
To play louder play closer to the bridge, draw the bow slower and apply more pressure. To play softer, play closer to the fingerboard and apply less pressure. Experiment with these 3 elements to find the ideal combination for what you are trying to achieve. Be your own teacher and ask yourself what makes you sound better and what makes you sound worse.

Are you aware that you can post a video or audio file in the party room that does not show you playing, if you are not after a badge. We are after participation, so if you want to add to a party and not show yourself, feel free. I added an mp3 audio file to Stringy's Spring Plant Party. After all, it is a party room, be creative if you wish, have fun! You must be the one playing, though.Mouse
