Should You Use Stickers on Your Violin or Viola Fingerboard?

On one side your muscle memory should get the chance to develop and learn the right positions...

On the other side you have to learn to play with your ears and not with your eyes...

Position markers are never exact as intonation is far more complex than just placing your fingers on one spot...

Watching your violin while playing can ruin your violin hold...

Everything is true, so you need to find the right way to use position indicators.

In this video you will learn how to use position markers in a way that they help your technique, intonation and hearing development without ruining it...

Buy your Don't Fret position indicator here!

Love,

Zlata
