3. My neck and shoulders hurt after I have been playing for
a short while.
4. I can't hold the bow for very long before my hand seizes up, particularly
in fast passages.
5. My left hand fingers collapse when I press them onto the strings.
6. My left hand feels tense and aches when I play.
7. My wrist aches when I have been using vibrato for only a short
time.
 8.
How do I gain confidence in shifting position?
