Minute Masterclass with Ray Chen: Smooth bow changes

What’s up guys? Thought it would be interesting and fun to do a quick video to analyze what exactly happens at the moment of a bow change and today we’re doing it with the help of a paint brush.

Enjoy and let me know if this video helped in you or others in any way! Have a great week!

Nice action! And just blessing people by a short visit from your world to ours bringing in the fundamental - 'art' of music.

Thanks for the tip! great exercise to visualise the hold and decompose the movements, especially when you're a leftie :) and a great excuse to get painting too!

[abrilgomez]

Beautiful paintings!
Could you please, talk about bow grip and right hand technique in general?:)

[jocimar]

Oh classic Ray with his dad's jokes!
Btw I thought about this technic but didn't knew it was a thing so I didn't proceed to continue, I'm going to try! Thanks Ray 😌😎

Interesting video. I will think of that when playing...just did my initial violin test 🙄.
Also mama Chen's paintings are beautiful..I was drawn in by them.

Me seeing Mr. Chen holding a paint brush as if it were a pen:
