What To Do if Your Fingers are Too Stiff to Play the Violin or Viola

Do you sometimes feel that your fingers are too stiff to play a certain piece of music? Maybe some fast notes?

I've been working a lot with students who learned the violin or viola when they were young, stopped for years, are retired now and want to pick up the violin or viola?

Is it possible to make those stiff fingers smooth and flexible again? Yes!

Watch this video and I will give you some exercises, tips and etudes.

This is Hand Sitt’s etude book I recommend in the video: click here to buy!

Is this video useful to you? Please let me know in the comments!

Love,

Zlata
