| Holding Your Fiddle |
In this lesson, Emerald gives you advice on holding the fiddle and positioning your body in a relaxed way to avoid injury and tension. She talks about starting with good posture, so you have a good foundation to add your fiddle to; using a shoulder rest; positioning your fiddle on your shoulder and collarbone and your chin in the chin rest; resting the neck of the fiddle between the base of your thumb and the first knuckle of your index finger, etc.
