Another day has passed. Oh my God! Why did I felt like this early in the morning?? I had a stiff neck that day! Plus my collar bone was a 'lil numb too! "What will I do?" That's what I thought that day. So I searched and searched the caused of my pain. Answer? The position of my violin on my shoulder. Tsk! "Is there a solution? I asked to myself. So I hurriedly texted my friend who plays violin for almost years already. Then he suggested that I should buy some shoulder rest. "what's that?" I asked. It's an accessory for easy carrying violin on your shoulder and to feel much comfortable.

I’m glad that you found a way to ease your discomfort while playing the violin. But then, it also helps if you take a break every hour or so to stretch your neck and shoulder. That way, your muscles won't suddenly flare up due to the prolonged position you have to be in while playing.
