Everytime I play the E string, the notes really sound squeaky and well, terrible. What can I do about it?

I myself am having a similar problem, but I dont know the solution =(. After my next lesson I am going to bring it up and I'll let you know what my mentor tells me. If you get any info before than, let me know too =)

Try using lighter weight on the string and a faster bow stroke.

Maybe there is too much or too little rosin on the bow??

Kierra:

My instructor also told me to use lighter pressure and faster strokes, and it works for me. Hope this helps you out!
