Harold asks:

My left thumb hurts after playing. Especially with the viola. What should I do? I've been playing violin for almost 2 years and viola for six months.

In this video I will share 4 tips to solve this issue and play without pain:

1) Check the size of your viola
2) Do my FREE workshop Weight vs Pressure, click here to subscribe
3) Check the place of your thumb
4) Check tension in your thumb and if your thumb is doing to much
