Ask Augustin 13 - Question Time 2

It's time to answer more questions! I picked some that I thought I could give pretty quick answers to, and still some of the answers took me a while. I talk about looking at your hands vs closing your eyes while playing; about that cloth attached to my chin rest and what it's for; about how much you should practice, and whether you rely on your teacher or on yourself to make improvements (spoiler alert, you have to make the changes yourself!); I talk about the importance of playing contemporary music, and my recent experiences playing Bach with a baroque bow. I mention two subjects a little bit about which I want to make Ask Augustin videos soon to go more into detail: ways to break three-note chords, and tips harmonics tips. I'll also make upbow staccato and spiccato videos soon. Stay (in)tuned!
