How to read sheet music. π
I got these little guys to help my youngins make a game out of keeping their violins/violas up on their shoulders - instead of letting them droop in front of them. The poofs rolled easier, whereas the dog beany didn't want to slide very well.
PSA for string players: How to straighten your bridge if it's starting to look like the Leaning Tower of Pisa - especially due to the pegs pulling the top towards them: Anchor both hands underneath the black parts (fingerboard and tailpiece) and use one thumb to gently push in the general direction you want to go and the other thumb is to act like a safeguard so you don't push the bridge over. In general, aim for a 90Β° angle from bridge to the top of the instrument on the tailpiece side. Look for gaps at the bridge feet in case it's telling you something different. When I fit a bridge to a top, it will fit seamlessly. There will be no gaps if it is standing up straight where it is supposed to. ***I have seen some rental violins that have the bridge carved at a lean and in order to get it straight - the feet don't fit. I pull it as straight as I feel comfortable, which usually means not all the way. Get a new bridge if yours does this. The bridge will fall over more easily and pitch recognition might be off compared to a well fit bridge.*** If the bridge isn't moving, make sure there is pencil lead in the grooves to help lubricate the crossing of the strings. When I was in college as a player, I am aware that I probably broke a bridge because of letting it lean when I was trying to tune my violin after a peg popped due to humidity. π³ I thought it was a fault of the bridge, but now I'm pretty sure it's just because I let it lean for too long and it eventually folded under the pressure of the strings - equaling a broken bridge. It was startling and I'm lucky I didn't cause more damage from the tailpiece hitting the top after the bridge snapped in half. π Bridges don't generally wear out. They might warp and eventually snap due to leaning, but if taken care of, I've seen well maintained bridges in action over 30 years old.

Why do you guys make the two violins double each other in octaves and have cello and viola do either stagnant whole notes or the prelude to the first Bach suite I don't understand

Violinist/Violist Problems
When people think you got the hickey on your neck from a passionate night but itβs really from practicing for 2 1/2 hours straight.
pictured here: - rubber band that was on my violin - bobby pin I found in my purse - bobby pin I found on the piano
Grabe kanina, paiyak na ako kanina kasi ugh ang hirap nung tinutugtog namin. G- clef siya so syempre magshishifting kami. Eh ang weakness ko talaga eh magthird position at fourth position. Syempre, struggle is real kanina kaso hindi naman kami sanay magshifting. Ampp so yun, paiyak na ako kanina huhuhu nasa point na ako na gusto ko magquit nung mga oras na yon hahaha saklap talaga kanina amp :-((
