Hello again all!

A number of my violin students were asking me how I learned to hold the violin comfortably without a shoulder rest or pad! Here are some quick tips, tricks, and methods for trying it!

Admittedly, I DO NOT think it is necessary or even "better" to hold the violin without a shoulder rest; I do it simply because I find it more comfortable. If you do NOT prefer playing without a shoulder rest but still struggle to feel comfortable, please feel free to look at my video on playing comfortably WITH a shoulder rest!

HAPPY PRACTICING! :)
