About Diane Allen
Rolling Elbows Exercise
A stringed instrument is demanding in that the left and right hands are doing completely different things. You may as well be typing with one hand and washing windows with the other. Of course you're doing it simultaneously and with coordination!
There actually is one movement in playing the violin and bow that the left and right hand share: rolling elbows for string crossings. This exercise explores this amazing phenomena where both the right and left elbows get to swing and dance together!
This exercise should enhance your coordination for string crossings, provide clearer intonation (left hand fingers will be at the same angle for each string) and awaken a graceful flow in both arms.
Clarisse Atcherson shared this with me. She believes she got it from John Kendall. Now I'm sharing it with you! The sharing that goes on in the Suzuki Community is heartwarming!
