It strange. The more I practice bowing and finger technique (Ševčík) and scales whilst watching the bow i find that the sound gets narrow.
Alternatively if I practice studies and enjoy myself the sound gets lose and lost.
If I use a metronome i get physically restrained, stressed and limited.
If I don't use a metronome i don't progress perhaps...
How do I move towards more freedom without a narrow sound?!
At the moment it seems as though watching the bridge, if a little uncomfortable, is working wonders on my awareness of myself, the sound and my ailments.
Agressively focusing on the bridge not only causes neck strain. It also causes eye strain. Focusing on something so closes creates problems for the muscles in the eyes. TAKE IT EASY.
