Many thanks to ~kkplum for letting me post this journal.

Hi, I'm *Charlotte-P-Utton, I'm 16, and like many of you, I play the violin.

I've created a chat where musicians can get together and chat about the instrument(s) they play and about stuff in general. It is also there for people who have questions about playing, buying or learning instruments, or have something to discuss about instruments, to find people who might be able to help them.

There are six privclasses:
-Percussionists – for drummers, pianists, xylophonists, etc.
-BrassPlayers – for trumpeters, trombonists, buglers, etc.
-WoodwindPlayers – for flautists, saxophonists, organists, etc.
-StringPlayers – for violinists, cellists, guitarists, etc.
-ManyTalented – for people who play several instruments in different categories, e.g. drums&guitar
-TheAudience – for people who don't play an instrument but would like to come and chat (you will automatically be put in this privclass when you join the chat if you are not already in a different one)

Just tell me which privclass you belong to, or if you're not sure, which instrument(s) you play, and I'll put you in the right one.

Please come along and chat :) - [link]

Does anybody have any tips wrist-wise for Sautillé bowing? It's sounding right, but my wrist doesn't look and feel fluid enough for it...
Thanks!

well. Something that most people don't realize is that sautille requires a lot of flexibility and fluid movement from the fingers. You should be familiar with the colle stroke before you start sautille. Assuming that you do know colle, a good exercise is to lift your ring finger and pinkie off of the bow (keeping a light grip) and then try playing one note with sautille. once you feel that the stroke is light an springy put your ring finger back on the bow and repeat the steps with out your pinkie. and then try it with your pinkie on the bow etc.

Hope this helps!

Hello there,

I am leaving deviantArt and am collecting points to see if I can fill my donation pool before Thanksgiving. I will give away all my 500 points as soon as the pool is full! If its not full, well, that's alright, I'll still donate, I just wanted to see if dA would return the love I've given it. It's a wonderful community and I will miss everyone.

Einstein says that the reason he was so smart is because he played violin. Obviously that's not exactly the case for me..

Do you mind if I share my chatroom for people who play musical instruments here? It's called #TheMusicStand ([link]).

If you'd rather this wasn't posted here I won't complain if you hide it.

Mine's Vivienne... interesting how three of the four people commenting here have given their violins names beginning with 'V'!
