Recently, a couple of new beginning students told me that they'd tried to figure out how to rosin their bows prior to starting lessons but couldn't find any good rosining videos. I was surprised, but hey, I've never recorded a rosining video either. The little, but critical things we take for granted once we're even just a few lessons into our violin, viola, or cello journey! I hope this video helps demystify rosining for you! Let me know if you have a rosin question not covered, or questions about other aspects of violin or viola playing, technique, and repertoire.
