How To Really Hold A Violin Bow / Paganini's Greatest Secret

why did u delete the funny comments, i came back here to laugh, only to be dissapointed

I didnt know tim heidecker was such a skilled violinist.

That is one nice-sounding violin! I was literally gobsmacked the first time I tried a really good bow. I was not used to the bow having a shared resonance with the instrument. It was like discovering a whole new world, right in my hands.

This was PRICELESS! May the violin gods bless you!

This guy is very entertaining! Can’t wait to light some black candles and get romantic with my violin!

Love the idea of getting a music appreciation lesson as well as a major lesson in technique. I feel as though I’m really learning from a Master of bow technique - to perfection! (This guy reminds me of an undertaker. 😅)

This man feels like a super villain and I love him for it, I would follow him into battle.
I will take his teachings to heart and bow! :)

i'm 56 and bought a violin, now i need to learn EVERYthing. . . thanks for going so slow and passionately about each step. it helps

But the greatest violinists such as Zibulkin used the Russian grip!

I am neither a beginner nor a virtuoso

Love it!!

I love you...your passion...style...thanks for these gems. They work!!!

The right pinky sits against the bow, not on top..

As a beginner I can definitely admire that his hands flow"like silk" as he described! But this video is so far the best I've seen in regards to developing good bow technique and it's something I'm going to keep practising and practising

Wonderfully thorough demonstration! And your dramatic style is very unique, love it!

Brilliant lesson for bow grip. At last my grip feel light but secure.

This guy looks like Q from Impractical Jokers… quite the punishment

When I started watching this, I was like "Eeeermmm....".

Then I started really watching it, and I was like "What the fffffffuuuuu......"

And now I'm totally mesmerised and going to watch the rest of your videos because I'm literally hypnotised and I need this amount of passion in my life. Sir, I thank you. 👏

Me when I first read the title before watching the video "ain't no one gonna attempt to hold anything like paganini mans hands were the size of an elephant" 💀

Great video though, appreciate the tips 🥲🙌

Elaborately explained

Thank you so much for your deep dedication to the art and study of the violin. Your generous spirit of sharing honestly is noteworthy. Although perhaps misunderstood by some I interpret your vocal style as consistent with any fine performance. Your delivery is with stature, grace and great elegance, and in itself must be considered performance work or fine art. I have spent years exploring the basics of bow holding and I believe your description was indeed refined. As an interesting note about Paganini. I've noticed quite a bazaar hold in the oldest know deguerrotype photo. Just wondering if you have any information. Seems odd for a pose when one consider the correct way to hold a bow, but his pose represented something quite different. Just wondering. Many thanks, again.

Yeh, he's like a really cool bond villain. He's brilliant though.

Become one with the metronome

You are a great and wonderful Teacher. Thanks .

Thank you for your lessons in how to improve the playing of the violin. I have been playing for many years and wish I had seen your videos when I was young. I learned to play without a teacher, so I had many bad habits. However, it's never too late to improve one's technique, which is why I'm so grateful for your video lessons. They not only show me what I've been doing wrong, they also show me what I'm doing correctly. I can't thank you enough!

Very Informative! Thanks for posting this video.

Paganini had a tini weeny

This guy is truly a romantic -

thank you so much for this wonderfully crafted, super helpful video!

How about attaching a frog to a pencil??

I was not allowed to play any other way, from the beginning, by my teacher Harry McCord, of Corinth, MS so I had no problem learning the correct position.

This is how I was taught by my teacher who was an orgnaist. He actually played the organ at Notre Dame Cathedral and many other throughout Europe when he was a medic in the army in WW2.

Does the Romantic School of Music have any actual students?
(no basement jokes please)

Super informative and entertaining! Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! This helped so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The pencil exercise might be the hardest but most effective though, thank you so much for the video

Everyone's a critic. Lol

I'm an adult beginner, perfect time for you to turn up on the scene Kevin. Thank you, your tutorial was a gem.

He had me with "little finger," instead of "pinkie."

He has the elegant of a male from the 1850s lol

Must have been a good friend to Paganini himself to know so many secrets from him huh?

I love the absurd drama of these videos

Well, according to the Ancient Alien Astronaut Theory:

This made my night. 😄🌹
