Left Hand Articulation (fundamentals, finger lifting and dropping exercise, Kruetzer no. 9)

Back to basics! Crucial fundamentals for the foundation of violin playing. Watch carefully and take notes :)
Good left hand articulation is the gateway to fast, clean playing as well as a myriad of other benefits. Don't worry if these skills need time and practice to absorb; I'm still working on them and I will continue to as long as I play the violin. I hope this video was helpful and that you enjoyed it!
