I forgot to bring my shoulder rest to tonight’s string practice! For those who do not know what a shoulder rest is, it’s a little device that you place just under your violin or viola, to create a comfortable distance between your shoulder and the base of the violin or viola, so it makes a lot of difference when playing through 2 hours of difficult pieces!
A typical shoulder rest
Can you imagine vigorously through three pieces for 2 long hours with a piece of metal biting into your jaw? If that’s bad, I couldn’t stop playing…sigh…
