I do not know if there are any discussions, however I can offer up a suggestion or two. I can assume you and an amp, or a pa-system and you would like to amplify your violin.

Hi Aysha!
Whether you are classically trained, learn by ear, or watching someone play the song (note by note, bow by bow). Bow direction is important. Would I be overly worried about it, No. ** Do you need to be mindful of it, Yes.** Bow direction helps you move from one musical phase to the next. It also helps define the style of music being…[Read more]

Good idea, thanks so much, I watched the vid and put them in, if I get it wrong first time it tends to stay that way forever – not sure why it seems to take me longer to un-learn!
