How do I play just the A note with the bow on the violin?

My bow keeps hitting the E note at the same time I try playing an A note. I%26#039;m attempting to teach myself, by the way.

try lifting your elbow a little higher. If you%26#039;re hitting the E string but lightly, it%26#039;s not that big of a deal. Actually my teacher said that an audience will not hear the mistake.

is your bow tightened? (and then you loosen it when you have finished practicising)

Reply:find the right angle i guess, it%26#039;s not noticable once you get used to it. use a light touch, try and mute the strings on each side by lightly touching them with your fingers but not pressing down. this might help you now just to get the feel of it. Practice just bowing the different strings back and forth and changing strings. You might need to give up in frustration and try on different days.
Reply:Practice just long tones on your violin...that means use the whole bow and do it slowly. Look at the bridge while you are playing, that is the best place to watch the angle of your bow. It is true that an audience will not be able to hear that if you are up on stage, but you%26#039;ll be able to hear it and that should be enough motivation for you to want to fix it.
