Mastering 'elbow steering' is key to improving finger placement and reducing discomfort while playing the viola. This instructional video demonstrates how subtle adjustments in elbow movement can enhance finger reach and hand alignment. Incorporating this technique into your practice routine can lead to more efficient playing and a more relaxed posture. Ideal for violists seeking to refine their technique and prevent strain.
