Mimi Zweig's Short Story of Fingers Wrist Arm

In a Short Story of Fingers, Wrist, and Arm, renowned violinist and teacher Mimi Zweig emphasizes the importance of the joints remaining flexible and mobile at all times. Through a series of bowing techniques, including colle and bow wandering, Mimi demonstrates how flexibility in the bow hand, wrist, and arm is essential for achieving a smooth and sustained sound. Exercises are practiced at the frog, middle, and tip of the bow, ensuring that joint flexibility is maintained throughout the entire bow. As always, Mimi’s passion for both playing and teaching inspires us to explore new ways to improve and refine our sound quality.
