Thanks for checking out my BestPractice series, where we look at ways of practicing smarter and building the artist's technique. This video is a intro into tricking your brain and gaining better hand independence on the violin. I use this exercise all the time, and it doesn't take much time practicing it to hear improvement. Let me know what you think in the comments, and don't forget to ask a question to be featured in my upcoming Q&A video!

Today we’re looking at 3 versions of a favorite violin exercise of mine. I practice this everyday to warm up my technique and expand my abilities. It’s incredibly helpful for honing vibrato, shifts, sound production and more. The idea of playing only with 2 fingers at a time is game-changing! See which of these 3 variations (by Hrimaly, Yost and Gola) you like the most. By the way, most of my videos have accurate Spanish captions available now thanks to my student Rocio. All videos will have captions soon.
