On the question of violin kneading, the correct way to knead the strings of a violin

Upstairs is talking about the performance of the erhu.

Here's a question about you.

1. Why do my fingers always move left and right when I practice by myself I see that the fingers move back and forth at the concert, which is very strange

Your hands are too stiff, don't use the strength of your arms to control the movement of your hands, your wrists must be relaxed, and kneading the strings is not an independent movement of your fingers.

The most common phenomenon for beginners is that the kneading is slow and large, and the problem is mainly that the finger joints are not flexible enough. Generally speaking, when the hand is exerted, the wrist is the axis; Push the lower arm, with the elbow as the axis. But whether it is hand force, lower arm force, or wrist force, it is to drive the movement of finger joints.

Therefore, the point of activity of kneading the string is fundamentally in the knuckles. Obviously, the forearm is the most intense when the strings are kneaded, and the hand is softer.

It is important to note that no matter how you knead the strings, make sure that your fingers do not press the strings too hard, that your thumb is in the correct position, and that your left hand and forearm feel soft and light.

The correct direction of the fingers should be to shake from side to side in the direction of the fretboard. No matter how you move, you have to think that you are shaking in the direction of the fretboard, and the first movement is to start in the direction of the headstock.

2. Should the left thumb touch the piano when kneading the strings?

Yes. You can experience the position of the thumb according to your own physiological conditions.

3How long does it take to learn to knead the strings?

Personally, I think more than four years will be better, I don't know how much you have learned now, generally speaking, to learn three positions to change the handle, and then start to learn to knead the strings, otherwise you will get twice the result with half the effort, and it will cause bad habits such as nervousness when the left hand kneades the strings. In fact, it is emphasized that you should learn after changing the three positions, just for the naturalness of holding the piano and the flexibility of the fingers. Therefore, if you can't hold the piano relaxed or your fingers don't have a certain flexibility and toughness, you should learn later.

Of course, starting to practice kneading the strings in the third position, the position is also the most appropriate.

4How long does it take to knead the strings well?

Practice for two hours a day, about half a year.

The kneading of the strings comes from a strong need on the part of the player, at least the need to master the technique.

Send you a small information:

Kneading the strings and doing freehand exercises will be learned in three days".

1. Finger. With the palm of your left hand down, place your five fingers flat on the table, and swing your index finger from side to side, the faster and longer you wiggle, the better. Then practice the middle finger, the name finger, and the little finger in turn.

2. Wrist exercise (if you are not opposed to kneading the strings with your wrist). Hold the piano with your left hand empty, relax your fingers, keep your forearm still, swing your left hand back and forth, the faster the better, so fast that you can hear the wind. The longer the better.

3. Small-arm exercises. Hold the piano with your left hand empty-handed, relax your fingers and hands, do not move your big arm, swing your left forearm back and forth, the faster the better, so fast that you can hear the wind. The longer the better.

First, it is estimated that the saddle is too high, resulting in a large distance between the strings and the fretboard, so that it is difficult to press the strings.

The second is whether you put the piano on the tiger's mouth, or if your thumb and index finger clamp the neck, then you will definitely not be able to knead the strings.

The correct way is to clamp the piano with your chin and left shoulder, and gently support the belly of your left thumb on the neck of the piano, and use it as a fulcrum to knead the strings, which will be very easy.

When kneading the strings, the strength of the strings is about the same as that of the strings, and the fingers do not leave, and they are shaken. If the joints of the fingers move slightly, the sound of kneading the strings will be better.

Pulling a harsh sound on the E string is usually caused by the arm using too much force, so there will be this sound. Sometimes, a bad string or harp can also lead to a very harsh sound.

The hand that pressed the strings may be too nervous, so it will be very uncomfortable. Practice more, relax and relax. I used to do the same, hehe, just relax slowly.

If your hand is not relaxed, it is not realistic to learn to knead the strings, because the kneading must be very relaxed to sound good.

Don't use your thumb too hard, just put it on gently, but it must stand up, not fall.

If the position is not accurate, practice the basic syllables, only do the practice of changing the position, do not knead the strings first, and after a long time, it will be accurate, and then add the strings. Practice from slow to fast when kneading the strings. There is also the fact that kneading the strings must be done with fingertips, not with fingertips, and the sound of kneading is not good.

In addition, when you have nothing to do, you can practice listening to the sound by yourself, and practice your ears sensitively, which will help you find the right sound when changing positions.

Practice according to the correct posture, and you will be able to become proficient after a good habit is formed kneading the strings to move your wrists, and the fingers are not moving correctly, and the sound is not good.

The first is to do the knuckle back and forth flexion. Practice on the table first, practice each finger joint lying back (not completely attached to the table), then stand up, and then shake from side to side. From fast to slow, practice with the last five fingers.

The first thing you need to do is to learn how to knead the strings at your wrist. The method is to first place the arm on the thigh or chair arm, then relax the wrist and shake it back and forth, striving to be even, and then put it on the fretboard to practice after the movement is comfortable. Also pay attention to:

When the wrist is rubbed back and forth, the joints of the fingers are driven, and the touch points of the fingers cannot be displaced with the kneading of the wrist. When practicing kneading the strings at your wrist, start with three fingers. Because rubbing with three fingers can make the movement more relaxed, then practice two and one fingers.

And when practicing four fingers, you can also put three fingers close to the four fingers to help knead. This practice will make the effect of the flutter more free. On the basis of wrist kneading exercises, you can gradually learn and become familiar with arm kneading and finger kneading.

The purpose is to better enrich the expressiveness of the performance and adapt to the needs of various dynamics and emotional changes.

3.There are also big arms kneading strings and finger kneading strings. The big arm kneading is mostly used for long heavy bass, which mainly reflects the richness and sadness of the music, and the finger kneading is mostly used for the high notes of half beats, which can show the cheerfulness and beauty of the music, and if you want to learn these well, the premise is to master the arm kneading strings proficiently.
