I don’t know, this just hurts after a while. So I just don’t think that I should be doing it. I also find that it’s not hard to straighten out my body, but I have to fight it.

I’ve found that I squeeze the bow a lot. I need to stop this. I think it stems from trying to play louder or more violently.

I have to watch out for this. Sometimes, I over do it, and I sound scratch and “ratty”. I’ve noticed that I actually sound better in rehearsals sometimes. Damn. Calm down . . . .

This actually goes against its intentions such that it forces my shoulder to go backwards. I’m watching this, and I notice that it’s much easier to just relax and stand straighter. Plus, this habit puts a huge a strain in my lower back.

I’m not too worried about this, since I’ve rarely seen this as a problem. But I did notice that only happened when coming into first position from higher positions.

This hurts my neck. Closing my eyes corrects this problem really easily, but I need the music memorized in order to do that. I also noticed that closing my eyes and allowing my posture to correct itself, I was able to play better.
