I like this slightly different format where you're showing a student how to do the technique. It's useful to see someone who hasn't quite got it yet improving with your advice.
Thank you for sharing such knowledges, especially on the example of a student. That helps to see the whole process of getting it! Hope to see more tutorials on advanced techniques on your channel!
Hey Ms. Bushkova, thank you for the very informative video. I love your videos, you're such a good teacher. I also love your violin. It's so powerful and bright. It projects so well. I bet it costs a fortune.
A very well done video, though I'm fairly sure that the student is already adept at the stroke. Not mentioned was the role of the pinky in modulating the bow height during the stroke. With a purely horizontal stroke and no pinky support the ricochet could not be sustained. At least that is my personal experience.
Thank you for being a subscriber and for your comment. It was during her lesson earlier that same week when I taught Clarissa the ricochet; she had no inkling how to do it. She went home to practice; I called her to do this video 3 days later, and yes, she already got it by then. In that sense, she 'had' the stroke.
Apologies - I haven’t noticed your follow up question until now. I teach the pinky function much before we get to this level of playing, so there hasn’t been the need to explain it in connection to the ricochet - at least, in my experience. So, in this case, with Clarissa, I didn’t have to say anything about it - not in her lesson, and not here.
Julia, your are an amazing teacher! I would like to study with you. Where do you gives classes? I'm advanced student and the last concerto I've studied was Brahms, but I feel that I need study a lot more about right hand. Thank you and congrats!
