Is using the TV clicker a good way to get my fingers in shape for playing violin better?

Question

I just replaced my old violin with a much better one, and I want to play it better too! (Also, TV clicker = remote control.)

Answer 1

I'm no violin expert, but I can tell you this: if you click it while moving your elbows and your shoulders too, (to work out the biceps and the triceps) then it will help I guess.

Answer 2

No,

There is no sense of pressure on a clicker, no sliding just the same button over and over again. The effect is always the same on a clicker, on a violin it is not.

Try to put emotion in changing channels....maybe that will do you some good.

Answer 3

You know i'm not really sure it sounds like it could be. But if it really isn't you can say that it is just to be an excuse to watch tv. lol how long have you played the violin.?

Answer 4

I think you should stick with playing the violin to become a better violin player!!

Answer 5

If there is no trouble in your fingers and also you told that you use remote then the two things are different, you know also, guiter playing is a creatively one then think the difference between the twos- then come to the conclusion

Answer 6

listen to me, ok?

according to your avatar, you have 3 chins, which would allow you to play 3 violins at once

Answer 7

Answer 8

Depends on how much clicking you're doing
