I'm 57, bought my violin 12 years ago but didn't get near it. Now I'm getting the chance to and so happy to find such great content and so many other beginners. NEVER TOO OLD!!!
@@FAM_40d40n I hope your violin journey is going well. I just started mine today, and that feeling of bowing your first open strings is just great. Good luck!
I'm so excited to be learning to play the violin at 64 years old!! I'm realizing lately that the stories we tell ourselves determine our destiny, and it's never too late to rewrite our false narratives. I've always loved the violin, and I appreciate your teaching style - you explain well, you're very methodical and calm.Thank you so much.
I am i same boat at 58 years attended first session of weekly violin class last week in Mumbai starting with how to holding bow. Very lucid video presentation for beginners like me.Thank you teacher.
I beat you! I'm 72. I had two old violins that my Dad owned and played. I took one in to be refurbished and re-strung. It had not been out of its case for about 50 years! I don't think I'll be playing in an orchestra, but I'd be happy learning simple tunes. One thing the man in the violin shop told me was to NOT touch the horsehairs on the bow -- it might pick up oil from your fingers.
After having cancer 4 times in 2 years, and twice being given 6 months to live, I retired so I could enjoy what time I had left (that was 2018-2020). I am now in remission, and feeling reasonably well so decided to take up a new hobby. I have been playing piano since the 1960’s, so I already have extensive musical knowledge, but always fancied violin. Before this week I had never even touched one! It took me 2 days to be able to hold it correctly. (I have small and slopey shoulders so I now have a shoulder rest. As I am on benefits there is no way I can afford lessons, so thank you so much for doing these! You are doing it at a sensible speed too, but not in a patronising way. I am so looking forward to being able to play a few tunes. Thank you
My wife and I, both in our early 70's and competent on various other musical instruments, decided to take up the violin this week. We found another TH-cam site which after watching it for about 20 minutes very nearly made us give up! Then we found this site - what a difference! We now feel much more confident that buying a violin was a good move and look forward to progressing with your lessons. Thank you.
I guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
I'm also in my 70's and prior to Covid, had private online lessons, but then stopped. I want to take it up again. . ..so hope these videos will help me.
I'm 24 years old and I just bought a violin. I come from the beautiful country of Vietnam. I was surfing Tiktok and saw your video so I came here. I just finished watching your Day 1 video.
When I was 16 I was 2 pieces away from finishing book 1 of the Suzuki Method, now I am 35 and got my old violin from my parents house. I’m gonna start again following this 30 day course. Thank you so much, I’ve been trying to find the right method in the vast youtube universe and I find your teachings best for me. Thanks again!
i had that book as well !! i began learning violin in around second grade, but had to stop due to moving to a different school. now i'm much older and figure this is a good way to reminisce on good old memories :3
I'm 58 years old and have always been fascinated by the violin, but never had the nerve to try to play one. Enjoyed your video and am excited I purchased my first violin.
I’m unbelievably excited to learn how to play. I’m 30 years old and have been fascinated since I was very young. I long await to be able to portray my emotions, as I feel that they are so intense only music can express them. I plan to let the violin show me the way! Thank you for your teachings!
I bought a violin 4 years ago but didn't play it because of a busy schedule. but thanks to lockdown and your online lessons, I spend my free time playing the violin and cope it with my sadness.
I'm 63 years old. So far your instructions on the violin has been great. I love trying to play and I love a wonderful violinist. I can't wait to do more lessons!
I'm so excited to be learning to play the violin at 42 years old!! My siblings are musically gifted, but I thought that gene had passed over me somehow. I'm realizing lately that the stories we tell ourselves determine our destiny, and it's never too late to rewrite our false narratives. I've always loved the violin, and I appreciate your teaching style - you explain well, you're very methodical and calm.
I'm so shocked to see a few others with my story. I played for 2 years in Highschool and finally have the time to try to get back into it. My mother also housed the instrument and I finally got it back and fixed up. I'm 58. I'm so happy to find you. I think it will come back but it was discouraging not to remember even how to put the chin rest on. Thank you!!!
I took lessons for 8 years as an adult then life got in the way 13 years ago. I’m picking it back up now and I think starting from scratch is best. Thank you for putting these online! I live in a small mountain community and we no longer have a violin teacher.
I am a beginner and I found this video extremely helpful.I have been looking at various videos since last 2 months but didn't find anyone as suitable for beginners as this one. Well done!
Yesterday I bought the violin to learn it, but I was very afraid because I would learn it without a music teacher, but now I feel that part of the fear has gone, thank you.
I'm nearly 78 and just bought my first violin. But music runs in me and my family. My cousin Reba Nell used to sing with Elvis before he hit the big times. On Saturday nights back in the early 50's Elvis would come down to Little Rock to a musical get together they held at the Robinson Auditorium. My cousin Reba (who was older than me and drop dead gorgeous!) and Elvis would sing duets on stage. My great uncle Ray Winkler owned radio stations across Texas and Arkansas. As a result he rubbed elbows with many country artists. One of these was "Gentleman Jim Reeves" of country music fame. Uncle Ray Co - wrote the country hit "Welcome to my World" with Gentleman Jim. He also wrote over a hundred others some of which made modest hits across the South. I've been wanting to play the violin forever but am just getting around to it even though I've played harmonicas all my life. As a boy there was a younger kid, friend of my kid brother, that lived down the street from us on the outskirts of Little Rock. His older brothers loved music and even though they were dirt poor, had many friends in the rock/country music genres. Guys like Roy Orbison would swing by to jam with them every so often. The kid's name was Richard Shook who went on to form the group "The Merging Traffic" and sing the one hit wonder "Bit by Bit". Well guys I've overstayed my welcome but look forward to sawing away at my soon to arrive violin! Carry on dudes and dudettes! 👍😎👍
i become more interested in playing my violin again after a year . the way this madam teach violin is the best way for me. i understand and catch up easy.. thank you so much madam. love from qatar..
Thank you for your calm & professional teaching presentation. As a new beginner, I searched the You Tube, and selected you to follow. I hope thru your teaching and my desire & effort, I will be able to play my violin adequately. I am 68 now and goal is along with learning guitar on my own, to rock on by 70. Thanks again!!
A month before Christmas I bought a violin. I love strings! I played piano as a kid, I may go back into that. I'm glad to have come across this channel.
I am 43 years old and suddenly playing the violin is an skill set I want to have to enjoy it. First time trying and I feel this method and your teaching is super clear to me. I am learning and supper happy. Thank you. Much appreciated. By the way, I am left handed, so I am using a left handed violin and it is fantastic.
Thank you for such a well done video. I haven’t seen a violin lesson yet on TH-cam that mirrored in person training until I seen your videos. Thank you!
I used to go to class as a kid and even finished vol.3 of this book which i barly remember,but then I havn't touched my violin for almost 10 years.I'm hoping i can start over with these videos so thank you for putting the time and making them❤
Awesome. I had been looking for an inspiring video like this that really teaches how to play the violin which is one of the most beautiful pieces to create music .
Very helpful. I looked for some TH-cam channels for learning something about violin, but this is the most useful one. Thank you so much for your efforts.
Thank you for this video. I am heading into my 50 years and lately developed a deep longing to learn the violin and move away from the guitar. I am left handed, so I am literally just going to hold a right handed violin upside down and place it on my right shoulder. 40 years ago when I learnt the guitar, I just turned it upside down and started playin it straight away, so I thought, I will do the same with a violin and just see how I go. I will keep you posted.
Thanks for the very helpful lessons. I am 68 years old I play on piano and I decided to start learning violin. My question is: if I am left handed on which shoulder side I put the violin ? Thanks for all. If I
I bought my violin last week and my suzuki book volume 1 to 8 just arrived yesterday. Due to having busy business trips until End May, I am forced to delay my first class until June. Now, i am kinda of relying on these classes as warm up to practice before attending to the actual classes. Bc i just can't stand a minute doing nothing with my violin in the case for a month.😂😂
Yay. Use to play when I was much younger and just treated myself to a violin. These lessons are incredible and I’m just waiting on my Suzuki book. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you, I am 23 years old and I have not one musical bone in my body but the violin kept on popping up in my head, I started doing bunch of research on it caz I wanted to know more of this instrument that wouldn’t leave my mind… one day I dreamt about me playing the violin at church for the Lord and that was confirmation. I bought my first violin last week Friday and I’m so excited. Thank you for your videos, I’ll keep you updated on my progress. God bless you
thank you. im 66 yrs old in a few days. my dad played the violin and i just want to learn how to play and then be able to play the songs he serenaded us with (5 sisters and my mom) as a way of paying tribute to him. learned a lot today but m having difficulty tuning it with the piano as guide. thanks much again .. will be following you,
Hello I found your channel today and decided I'm going to go through the 30 day course. I am in the process of taking a violin I've had for over 20 years into a fellow to put new strings on it and hair on the bow. I don't know how to play it but I've wanted for as long as I've had it. It's a German violin and has a French bow which I'm told is one I shouldn't let kids play with. lol I've rented a violin a couple of times over the last 10 years but I'm not a note reader and have no desire to learn. I learned the guitar when I was young most by ear but started with a few basic cords. My dad used to play guitar at home all the time and I've always been wanting to play music especially the violin and piano. So wish me luck I just subscribed and hope we can all walk away proud to be able to play this instrument with a smile.😉
Hi Hiker X, thanks for your comment. You will, just keep going. Any questions please ask and if you can, come and join us for the live class this Thursday at 10am. Good luck!
I am so excited for this. I really love your channel and am so grateful to you for taking the time to do this! Thank you Thank you! Bought my violin yesterday, have a new shoulder rest, rosin and couple other things on the way then i will start my string practice! I watched day one even though i couldn't participate...lol
Bless you for sharing your talent! It is very much appreciated and I so enjoyed your lesson (#1). So far I like it the best. I am happy to be starting in-person lessons this week. Will keep following you. I am 63...never too late to learn! Makes me excited to learn a new instrument (I grew up playing the clarinet). Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I'm 68, never played music before and want to try violin. But first need to get a violin. I will start by following your courses. So what beginners violin to buy? Also a Suzuki book? What else? Any recommendations?
After All for Strings 81, 25 Crickboom, 4 Play along and 2 ABRM I lots of time and working on 3rd position and Tonalization by Suzuki I start a Challange 1 month Suzuki I did the Second
Greetings from Ukraine! Have just saw your video, everythig is so amazing! I'm a piano tech and music composer, song writer and multy-instrument player, love music and singing. I's my childhood dream to play violin, so I've started to learn about 19 months ago and arter while from my start i've heaard about Suzuki method, mut I had never try that. Thank you so much for such a great explanation. It's a brilliant videos to me and I'll practice in just a way you showed here. My first 3/4 violin was gived to me since I've started to learn. After a year or something I got another 3/4 violin with better sound. But it became broken at violin neck and the violin itself doesn't feets all the measurements, so it's immpossible to use it. :( It's war in Ukraine and me with my family had to move to other town for about 9 months ago. I'm searching daily for any order of composing and producing music and I understand that I have no budget to just buy a nice sounding violin. I'm not sure the one I have can be fixed or repaired. But I would love to practice a lot and then (when I will learn to play vibratto) to use the violin in my music compositions. If you or anyone you know have any violin (3/4 or 4/4) and doesn't need it, can that be possible to ship it to Ukraine? I would love to buy a good one, but we are struggeling to survive here and the violin music helping me to take my attention of the war and the news and to find some peace to my soul. Please let me know if you are interrested. There's some music on my channel, please welcome to watch. Thank you so much for taking your time to read my comment. Kind regards...
In another video they told you that when you rosin your bow after that you can use a toothbrush to carefully spread the rosin in the bow for a better sound
I am brand new to the violin. It is an instrument that I have always loved and wanted to play. I played the guitar and piano as a young person but have never taken the opportunity to learn the violin until now and I am 68 years old. My father who is 92 gave me his violin and challenged me to learn to play, so I found your course and I am giving it a go.
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you so much for these wonderful videos! It is a blessing beyond measure! I’ve always loved the violin but never played it before but would dream of pouring my heart cry out through the strings of this wonderful instrument! You give me such confidence and I’ve only started on your first lesson for beginners! I am 32 and am finally fulfilling my dream! And it’s even more possible because of your wonderful teachings! Thank you so very much!
I am a 66 old and decided that I would like to learn to play violin. It is my understanding that the Suzuki method of learning to play is more based on learning to play by ear than reading sheet music. My intent is to learn to play for my own entertainment/satisfaction. Let's just say that I have no plans to audition for any symphony! Is this a method that you would recommend for someone like me? Many thanks for your input.
I'm having trouble with the E string. I set out to use my bow on it, and it doesn't make a sound, I did all the usual checks, but I think I'm doing something wrong since when I use the bow on that string, the sound that comes out doesn't match yours, and I'm assuming, it's my technique. Anyway, thank you for the lesson. I enjoyed it.
Thank you for the video. Regarding tuning, what do you consider way out of tune? A semitone? Whole tone? So I can know to use the top knob or the bottom. Thank you in advance
Hi Justin, for any out of tune note more than a tiny bit out of tune you can use the pegs. Provided that these are easy to operate, which is not always the case. Fine tuners are literally that: to fine tune the notes and no more than that.
Welcome! Good to see you here.
wow amazing thank you!

Yes just after I bought my violin My dad became ill and moved in with me. No matter how slow the going is just keep at it right?
Kaden, ... bless you! I've kept your response in my email notifications ~ to remind me to stay-the-course. Right now, needing consistency ...
@@FAM_40d40n as long as you pick it up everyday and tune it that's enough. And then you can wipe the strings and give it a kiss

I beat you! I'm 72. I had two old violins that my Dad owned and played. I took one in to be refurbished and re-strung. It had not been out of its case for about 50 years! I don't think I'll be playing in an orchestra, but I'd be happy learning simple tunes. One thing the man in the violin shop told me was to NOT touch the horsehairs on the bow -- it might pick up oil from your fingers.
After having cancer 4 times in 2 years, and twice being given 6 months to live, I retired so I could enjoy what time I had left (that was 2018-2020). I am now in remission, and feeling reasonably well so decided to take up a new hobby. I have been playing piano since the 1960’s, so I already have extensive musical knowledge, but always fancied violin. Before this week I had never even touched one!

Hello I found your channel today and decided I'm going to go through the 30 day course. I am in the process of taking a violin I've had for over 20 years into a fellow to put new strings on it and hair on the bow. I don't know how to play it but I've wanted for as long as I've had it. It's a German violin and has a French bow which I'm told is one I shouldn't let kids play with. lol I've rented a violin a couple of times over the last 10 years but I'm not a note reader and have no desire to learn. I learned the guitar when I was young most by ear but started with a few basic cords. My dad used to play guitar at home all the time and I've always been wanting to play music especially the violin and piano. So wish me luck I just subscribed and hope we can all walk away proud to be able to play this instrument with a smile.😉
Hi Hiker X, thanks for your comment. You will, just keep going. Any questions please ask and if you can, come and join us for the live class this Thursday at 10am. Good luck!

@@violinclasses Thank you 😊
Bless you for sharing your talent! It is very much appreciated and I so enjoyed your lesson (#1). So far I like it the best. I am happy to be starting in-person lessons this week. Will keep following you. I am 63...never too late to learn! Makes me excited to learn a new instrument (I grew up playing the clarinet). Thank you!
That’s wonderful to hear! Good luck with the violin 🎻
I just bought my first violin and your calm way to presenting your knowledge is really helpful, thank you.
Thank you for that first lesson.
My pleasure!
Thanks for this video. I'm 68, never played music before and want to try violin. But first need to get a violin. I will start by following your courses. So what beginners violin to buy? Also a Suzuki book? What else? Any recommendations?
There should be a video about how to choose a violin. Check the playlosts
There should be a video about how to choose a violin. Check the playlists and my Amazon shop. Link to shop in description below.
I had just purchased a violin 32 and excited to learn from you madam

I like this video and will continue to learn with this. Very helpful :-) Thanks for your efforts
Thanks, and best wishes for your playing from the UK
Thank you for this beginning!!!! I am proud of myself
What’s different about the Suzuki method please ?
Greetings from Ukraine!
Have just saw your video, everythig is so amazing!
I'm a piano tech and music composer, song writer and multy-instrument player, love music and singing.
I's my childhood dream to play violin, so I've started to learn about 19 months ago and arter while from my start i've heaard about Suzuki method, mut I had never try that.
Thank you so much for such a great explanation. It's a brilliant videos to me and I'll practice in just a way you showed here.
My first 3/4 violin was gived to me since I've started to learn. After a year or something I got another 3/4 violin with better sound. But it became broken at violin neck and the violin itself doesn't feets all the measurements, so it's immpossible to use it. :(
It's war in Ukraine and me with my family had to move to other town for about 9 months ago. I'm searching daily for any order of composing and producing music and I understand that I have no budget to just buy a nice sounding violin. I'm not sure the one I have can be fixed or repaired. But I would love to practice a lot and then (when I will learn to play vibratto) to use the violin in my music compositions.
If you or anyone you know have any violin (3/4 or 4/4) and doesn't need it, can that be possible to ship it to Ukraine? I would love to buy a good one, but we are struggeling to survive here and the violin music helping me to take my attention of the war and the news and to find some peace to my soul.
Please let me know if you are interrested.
There's some music on my channel, please welcome to watch.
Thank you so much for taking your time to read my comment.
Kind regards...
You seemed so nice and friendly - thank you for a wonderful lesson!
You're very welcome!
If Lisa Kudro had a violin and this level of patience. 😅
I love your method of teaching. Thank you
Very good video. I have just started Suzuki Book 1. I have been playing 🎻 5 months.
Kelly L Davis Hi Kelly, glad that you are enjoying this video. Do let me know you are getting on! Wishing you happy practising!
This is really helpful , as a beginner I really love your teaching thank you ❤
Very informative! I'm a new violinist and can easily follow your instruction. Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Thank you!
In another video they told you that when you rosin your bow after that you can use a toothbrush to carefully spread the rosin in the bow for a better sound
I have never heard of that or tried it.
i learn violin and practice my english at the same time =) thank you and greetings from Argentina
Couldn’t be better!
What method is best to learn for a beginner who doesn’t know anything about a violin. I would like to learn. Thank you!
This one!!!! You have found it
@@violinclasses Thank you!
I am 60 year , I am so thrilled to learn Violin
Good luck and have fun!
Thanks so much for that useful video i won't forget it Baucus i thought i never can be able to learn play violin and make that dream become true
I am brand new to the violin. It is an instrument that I have always loved and wanted to play. I played the guitar and piano as a young person but have never taken the opportunity to learn the violin until now and I am 68 years old. My father who is 92 gave me his violin and challenged me to learn to play, so I found your course and I am giving it a go.
Go for it!
Really appreciate your effort.. Thank you 👏
It's my pleasure
Love that enthusiasm
You explained better than my teacher. Could even have.
It's really helpful started learning violin from age 20 😊
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you so much for these wonderful videos! It is a blessing beyond measure! I’ve always loved the violin but never played it before but would dream of pouring my heart cry out through the strings of this wonderful instrument!
You give me such confidence and I’ve only started on your first lesson for beginners! I am 32 and am finally fulfilling my dream! And it’s even more possible because of your wonderful teachings!
Thank you so very much!
Hi, thank you for this lovely comment. Best wishes for your violin playing 🎻🎻🎻
Excellent work Dear. 👏✔
thankyou
I am a 66 old and decided that I would like to learn to play violin. It is my understanding that the Suzuki method of learning to play is more based on learning to play by ear than reading sheet music. My intent is to learn to play for my own entertainment/satisfaction. Let's just say that I have no plans to audition for any symphony! Is this a method that you would recommend for someone like me? Many thanks for your input.
Go for Crickboom violin method. It is a better approach to self-taught violinist enthusiasts.
Go for it! Certainly
Très bonnes explications malgré mon Anglais insuffisant .
I am 60 years old august 1rst and pretty happy about wanting to learn ow to play the violin ..i think its a bad ass instrement
It sure is!
Very good teacher
Thank you so much. My 🎻 journey has begun
Good luck! 🎻👍🎻👍
Thanks a lot, our online violin teacher !
Thankyou so much 💓
I wish you also had a course like this for volume 3 and 4. Your teaching is the best I have found online. I have/am learning so, so much from yiu.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I'm so excited to learn that
I'm having trouble with the E string. I set out to use my bow on it, and it doesn't make a sound, I did all the usual checks, but I think I'm doing something wrong since when I use the bow on that string, the sound that comes out doesn't match yours, and I'm assuming, it's my technique.
Anyway, thank you for the lesson.
I enjoyed it.
Thank you for your great videos, there really helpful!
You're very welcome!
Thanks
very informative video thank you so much!
Thank you for the video. Regarding tuning, what do you consider way out of tune? A semitone? Whole tone? So I can know to use the top knob or the bottom. Thank you in advance
Hi Justin, for any out of tune note more than a tiny bit out of tune you can use the pegs. Provided that these are easy to operate, which is not always the case. Fine tuners are literally that: to fine tune the notes and no more than that.
@@violinclasses makes good sense. Thank you
