Hi folks,
My daughter recently started working towards her grade 3 violin exam and is tackling 3rd position. She's finding it really difficult and no amount of encouragement seems to help. ;o( Can anyone suggest any ways I can help her to regain her enjoyment of playing and/or any 3rd position tips? Thanks Maz *edit* sorry, I think this is probably on the wrong forum but I can't work out how to move it to the strings one! |

I agree that just practicing it with some simple pieces is the key. My violin teacher has now taken me right back to basics. I'm working on grade 4 pieces, but am still scared of shifting, so she has me playing nursery rhymes etc in 3rd position.
To be honest though, I would much rather stay in my comfort zone and play everything in 1st position!! |
