You have solved my octave problem. I've been struggling to consistently get the opening octave of Der Schwanendreher (I'm violist) in tune, but I tried using my third finger as a gauge for the octave, and now I'm hitting it in tune. Oh my god thank you.

Ben... Would you consider making a video about the different etude/ scale books that are out there, and which you find to be most important? As you know, if one did everything that everyone says is imperative, then the stack of books would be too large to manage. As soon as young kids commit to practicing, some teachers discourage younger students by overwhelming them. Maybe they can play the material and want to practice a great deal... This doesn't mean they have the temperament for long theoretical explanations and 5-6 books at once. Where are music parents supposed to learn how to manage violin teachers who say "So you want to practice... Then here you go" (insert tons of sevcik, whistler, etc, etc). There is no way small children can fulfill the purpose of all this material without a full time practice coach multiple hours per day.

You've become such a great teacher! I just started teaching violin lesson in January and I still feel like I can't explain how to do anything well. I typically resort to demonstrating rather than butchering another explanation. Does anyone have any tips on Pedagogy?

viojoe11 Ivan Galamian has an awesome technique book that I've learned a lot from about teaching. Otherwise, keep demoing for your students and you'll adapt over time - it's a grand adventure that you and me are lucky to be able to experience!

I bet the way you taught him was actually helping him, but sometimes its the way you hold the bow. My teacher taught me to hold the bow so that you use near to no effort to play well.
