Posture

Alrighty all! Firstly, I want to remind everyone that there are group classes on Monday.

Secondly, take a look at the pictures below and see if you can find out what is wrong with each player's posture. More pics will be added tomorrow too. All images are taken from Google images (hopefully that's okay!).

Can you find at least 3 things wrong in the above picture? (I bet lots of you can find more than three....that's even better!)
(Some things I think she could improve are: have a straight left hand thumb, relax the left wrist, left hand fingers on their tips, right hand pinky up on the bow stick, bent right hand thumb, head turned differently so the jaw is moreso in the chin rest, and violin up on her shoulder)

Can you find something wrong with the way this lady is set up?

(Her right hand pinky should be round/curved.)

What is different about this girl's posture?? (She has her violin on the other shoulder (and her bow in her left hand!)

What is wrong with this violin bow hold? (The pinky is not round and up on the stick like it should be for a violin bow hold.)

How could this player improve her set-up?

(Her head should be resting on her violin to hold it up. Also, her bow hold looks like it could be softer.)
