Alison, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the inspiration who have given me. I started playing violin at age 13 but unfortunately I gave up at 16 years old. February this year I decided to buy myself a violin so I can play again but since I live in the country(well away from many cities and people), I have no one teaching me. That’s where you came to the rescue! Your videos have helped me get back into playing. I still have some trouble reading music and remembering every note but I somehow have gain a little confidence with the help of you. You’re amazing Alison! Never stop being you and keep up the awesome work! Xx Love from your Australian fan Courtney!
Same to me! I started playing violin at age 12 by a private teacher but I stop practicing after about less than 2 years cause I went to boarding high school, so basically I didn't get any violin lessons for 3 years. I felt like giving up once I graduated from high school but I tried to convinced myself to start learning again by watching your videos and other violinists. Now I'm 18 yo and currently a first-year uni student and I don't want to waste my time again. Thank you for inspiring me!!
Alison, thanks for the massive effort you have put into your online teaching videos for violin, and making these freely available. I started watching these lessons a couple of years back, and decided to start learning violin in February 2022, using a loan violin. I just turned 68 years of age (just retired from full time work), and your videos have been great. Just started these “beginner” concertos, and thoroughly enjoying the challenge of these beautiful pieces. Thank you so much from Australia.🎻 🦘
I loved your concerto that you wrote!! I was dancing around the kitchen with my air violin and whistling along to the tune n I wish I could put in a picture here of my dog n cat as I turned around and saw their look of astonishment because I realized I had my ear buds in and they couldn’t hear the music so all they saw was mommy prancing around playing an invisible violin n whistling this really jazzy tune!! Lol ❤️😳😘👏🤪 thank you for starting our day off absolutely amazing!! ❤️😃 and again you play superbly!! Proof that hard work pays off. I’ve only been playing for a month and I probably shouldn’t have come on here on this particular video because it is for more advanced players but I am always so curious to see where I could possibly be in a year or so because I am dedicated and have always wanted to play the violin. I hope and pray I am able to tackle this in time. ❤️😳
I really appreciate this video! Ive been watching your channel for a year and a half. I played violin for a year in public school when i was 11, and decided to pick it back up when i was 36. From that point I've been self taught. This channel has made that possible. At the moment I am studying vibrato, third position, and some of the more difficult scales with flats and sharps. It has been challenging to find pieces that fall into the advanced beginner category. I will abolutely get all of tbese pieces! Thank you for taking the time to put up so many helpful videos. I realize it must take a lot of time and thought to do so. You are so genorous! 😊
I've been following about 7 months as a patron and been taking private lessons for 6 months now. Progressing pretty quick, working on shifting exercises to 3rd position and developing vibrato. Will be trying these pieces for sure!
This is exactly what I need! I want to learn classical. My violin teacher in the 70’s had me play from the Seitz booklet. I thought it was hard. I love concertos, and want to learn the concertos you have written, as well as the others. I love the piano with violin. I also watch intently your technique while playing. I do want all of the concertos, and your songbook 1. You have made my day, as I have been so bored, and missing playing my violin consistently. I need the structure of your lessons, which I think I have saved on IPhone, and not sure if I have your songbook. Your playing classical is smooth and mellow with sweet tone. I can only wish to play that well. Thank you for this video.
I’ve been following you since January, but only got my violin 2 weeks ago! I used to play when I was around 8 years old (haven’t played in over 10 years, but glad to be back!)
I have been following you for 2 years, thats when i started playing violin! Havent seen a single teacher in person yet because i feel your books and videos bring me very far :D The only thing that i cannot do is vibrato with my ring finger, because of an accident when i was younger so thats too bad. But this video came at such a great time! i wanted to start learning more classical music and Concertos. Anyways, thanks you SO much for all your work and always answering questions!
I've been following you since April of this year and started your ten lessons in May. I am taking it slowly and I'm on the 3rd and 4th fingers. I am also doing your piano book and I'm on the lesson 9 part 1. I don't know if it is a good idea to do both, but I am enjoying both. I think my main goal at this time is to learn music. I am also reading a music theory book and plan on taking a violin making course, which starts next week. Thank you for your courses, which have taught me so much. I love learning, even if I never make it to an advance level.
in 4 days, i already play the first concerto but only the 1st mov, and now i will play the piece you composed and i really like your piece, thankyou very much, keep on composing awesome piece😺
I found you when I first picked it up about 7 years ago but had to stop and here I am years later and i'm back! I just started Twinkle Star after working on technique for 3 weeks but I'm hearing fast improvement, helps I have a teacher but we are already looking for pieces that I can challenge myself with in the future.
Been following you for 15 minutes! I just bought my first violin today. I’m a clarinet and piano player. Enjoyed playing it so much. Let’s see how it goes. Thanks for the great video. It’s interesting to see if one day I can play some of these 🎻
I have been following you since about one year now 😄 and I have literally started talking with your accent🙈 I'm an Iranian so I LEARNED English, and my accent is American and since I watch you most of the time... İt's kind of changing 😅 thank you for all you help, unfortunately I can't become a patron to download some of the things like the MP3s or stuff but your videos are sooooo helpful thank you so much for helping us learn music ❤️
Hi Alison, I've been following since end of May and completed your first 10 lessons. Still working through your first songbook, taking my time. I had an enforced break of 6 weeks, but hope to get back on track now to continue both as a student and Patron. Thank you for all your wonderful tutorials - I've come further than I'd expected, and without your lessons I'd vhave no way to learn. Very much appreciated 🙏
I've been following you since you did a Bach double with Benchan. The Kuchler is gorgeous! Definitely will add that ro my repertoire and I can't wait for the intermediate selections ☺️☺️
I've had violin lessons for 5 years but I feel like its time wasted because i should at least be intermediate level but i can't even play concerto in B minor. I feel like the teachers I've had weren't good enough for me to become better and better faster. Or as they didnt put enoug pressure. I feel bad because she said 6-12 months should be playing this, 5 years, this should be easy for me... how much did those persons practice
I have had 7 surgeries in my hands and elbows from practicing guitar hours a day for decades. Bach, Paganini, Shostakovich and all that. I have always wanted a violin ,and I just ordered my first at age 53 . It may be easier on my old hands to play . I have a mandolin ( same tuning ) which will help me a bit. Wish me luck
Concerto purchased. Five bucks for music, backing tracks and demo? That is an amazing bargain. And it is a very pretty piece indeed. I'm stoked. Must practice 40 hours a day so I can play the Sparrow Concerto!
Ohhh I played concerto n11 with my lovely teacher but not the 3rd movement it was so difficult to me, I need more practice with that part. is a very nice piece. Love this video, thanks Alison.
Thank you so much for this video! I have violin lesson books, piano lesson books, and short piano pieces that I have been playing for a long time. However, I have been wanting to play performance pieces specifically for violin that were manageable for my skill level; but was never sure just which ones and where I should get them. Thanks again!🌸
I have a question: How I choose sheet music? When I looking for new music to play I always find many diffident sheet and is hard to select one. How yo decide which note is right and original? Example right now I should start learn Two Grenadiers by Schumann and note are various in different book.
really lovely songs, i'm definitely going to buy your concerto, i really liked the sound bite. the first one (Kuchler) is actually in my RCM level 3 repertoire book, it's really pretty, but the first time i tried it i was like, wth is this doing in here, this is easier than almost every song in the level 2 book, and even many in the level 1 book... i guess its because they make you do a very small measure of it in third position.
bought it. although I think that will be far to advanced for me to get through. still struggling with acceptable intonation. But I really like the idea of having piano accompanying as a violin too. I hope by having the right tempo and tone I get this immediate recognition and positiv feet back of having hit the right tone... as getting the right feeling for tempo...
Thank you for this video! I've been watching your channel for about 6 months (got my violin 5 months ago). I've tried playing Kuchler's op 11 but it's still a bit above where I am at.
I have tried to go to that website to buy your book, but it crashes my computer every time I open it. Do you have another avenue I can purchase your music from?? a great video by the way sooo helpful!!
Which link specifically? I have tried all 14 links under the video and they are all working fine. I dont have any other links as those are the links to where they need to go. Have you tried using a difference device or computer?
I'm self taught and just play irish tunes on the fiddle (nightmare? yes), just a question. Why do you use the fourth finger to play notes which are avaiable on the next string in classical music? E.g. playing e on the A string instead of open e
Excellent Allison, so helpful. You have nailed it once again. I will check these out on your website. Thanks! Just a quick question, you had mentioned that these repertoire concertos should be started after completion of your Songbook #1. Should I wait to complete your Songbook #2 before starting this or perform them contemporaneously?
Yes - I would. You will struggle to much without the extra knowledge as you will only have just been of very . basic playing. Although these pieces are for beginners and are quite rudimentary, you do need to be more of an advanced beginner (if that makes sense?)
@@TheOnlineViolinTutor Allison, excellent advice. I will adopt this approach accordingly. This gives me an excellent roadmap and pedagogical curriculum which is near and dear to my preference. Thanks again.
Hello Alison I've been following you on TH-cam for about three years now and your channel is great :) I play the violin now for nearly two years and finished playing the Bach double violin concerto. Now I'm starting to play the Meditation de Thaïs from Massenet now in my private lessons. What would you say how difficult this piece is? With kind regards :)
I purchased the Mini Concerto you composed from your music shop. I noticed when you were playing a snippet of the 1st movement that you were slurring the notes whereas the sheet music has no markings? 🤔
Hello Alison ! Thank you for sharing this beautiful pieces with us. I was looking for pieces to learn but there is a problem. I want to improve my intonation, it is still bad. What can i do to make my intonation better ? Thank you !
SUCCESSFUL LESSON CONCERTO IN G BUT NOW TRYING TO PURCHASE FURTHER 3 BEGINNER BUT ALAS UNABLE TO FIND SALES PROGRAMM / ORDER / CHECKOUT AY HINTS PLEASE?
Hello, can you clarify what exact piece you are after and I will see if I can link it for you. Having said that, all the links to everything I mentioned in this video, is underneath the video. This is the easy/beginner Concerto in G in case that is what you were referring to: www.amsmusicshop.com/mini-concerto-in-g-major-for-violin-download-only/
I'am just a beginner never even handle one before. I love watching you cause you explain things simply, easing to understand and that's a very good thing., i need all the help i can get. Do have a question. when I'am trying to tune the violin the pegs keep moving back losing up the string how do I stop that and also does the hole bow have to filled with rosin?
If the pegs won’t stay in turn after you turn them and push them in a little, then it might be time to upgrade. You apply rosin on the whole bow. I have a video on this.
Thanks for the suggestions. I have just finished the Suzuki 1 book and am about to begin Suzuki 2. Do you think that's about the right level to start learning these pieces?
The Seitz concerto, is in suzuki book 4. By that stage, you'd be doing 3rd position (= moving your left hand down the neck of the violin), which makes it a little harder than the first position she talks about here. So I'd wait till I was near the end of book 2/starting book 3 with these.

Hi again, I have a problem in the concerto No 5. I don't quite understand how the first, second, and third movements are separated from each other, could you help me here?? The Reiding Op. 35 B minor has written numbers before the start of each movement but the other two don't.....I could find out how the movements were separated in the one by kuchler. But the conterto no. 5 I searched in TH-cam for it's different movement it literally didn't have movement three😔
@@tara7328 This video was for pieces beginners should play. It may not be full concertos, but just pieces one should play. Sometimes thats a whole concerto, sometimes we play 1st movements and sometimes we play 3rd movements. I have simply provided the sheet music to those pieces. if you want to play the whole concerto or not, then thats up to you.
When the basics are firmly down - which is a MINIMUM of a year. Even if you have the basics sooner than that, it still takes that amount of time for things to become a natural process and time is something you cant buy or accelerate.
@@TheOnlineViolinTutor my dad used to play when he was a boy and he had never forgot it but he plays just by ear and I want to learn proper music sheets. Itsna work in progress.. But will the music still sound the same played if i cant do the shakey finger thing for a while? X
About three months ago I could proudly say that my violin playing sounds JUST like Paganini ... when he was three years old. You know, that screeching sound babies and toddlers make a lot. Now I can proudly say I no longer sound like that. I mean ... that's progress too, right?
@@TheOnlineViolinTutor okay. Thank you. And one more doubt. How to find the 1st position of the 2nd finger and 2nd position of the 2nd finger on the staff notation ? Or same with the 1st finger ??
Hello madam...I am from India...and learning Violin in Indian classical style.....i want to learn staff notation so i able to play western style violin...will you please teach me staff notation fully...
@@TheOnlineViolinTutor i have to start from beginning...i have no knowledge about staff notation....from past few days i am serching for online course...
Because Im recording professionally to get the best sound from the microphone that you see on my violin, the backing tracks need to be only coming through the headphones because if i let them play out in the room itself, my microphone will not only pick up my violin, but also the backing tracks in the background giving them a 'double' sound which isnt good.
Whats wrong with that? I play to provide inspiration how I would usually play - why would I take out vibrato and not make the pieces sound as they should be? Not only that, even if you are an intermediate player, going back to these and working on making these sound awesome, is something one should definitely do.

3 weeks in, still kind of sound like a cat getting eaten by a badger but there is improvement.
Just keep going, five months in, open and first strings now ok, the rest is dubious, but the improvement obvious
Took me like one year to stop sounding scratchy and extremely out of tune, it’s normal, but don’t let that discourage you!
Same here 😂
that's normal 😊
Thats normal, dont give up!
I just bought my first violin can't wait to start and get that good!
@Taylor Dronenburg i was about to ask them too aHa
You only need to be a ling ling

I purchased the Mini Concerto you composed from your music shop. I noticed when you were playing a snippet of the 1st movement that you were slurring the notes whereas the sheet music has no markings? 🤔
You can do either. I didnt put any in as it was written for beginners so it makes it harder and more complicated.
Can't find the link for the music downloads, is it on utube. Cos it's not under this video? help pl
All links for all my videos on my channel are always under the video itself.
Hello Alison ! Thank you for sharing this beautiful pieces with us. I was looking for pieces to learn but there is a problem. I want to improve my intonation, it is still bad. What can i do to make my intonation better ? Thank you !
Scales and being aware of the notes you are playing .
@@TheOnlineViolinTutor Thank you!
SUCCESSFUL LESSON CONCERTO IN G BUT NOW TRYING TO PURCHASE FURTHER 3 BEGINNER BUT ALAS UNABLE TO FIND SALES PROGRAMM / ORDER / CHECKOUT AY HINTS PLEASE?
Hello, can you clarify what exact piece you are after and I will see if I can link it for you.
Having said that, all the links to everything I mentioned in this video, is underneath the video.
This is the easy/beginner Concerto in G in case that is what you were referring to: www.amsmusicshop.com/mini-concerto-in-g-major-for-violin-download-only/
Thanks for providing these arrangements, do you offer the accompaniment piano in sheet music form instead of just the mp3?
I dont have them, but you can probably find the sheet music for a lot of them online.
I wanna buy a violin,so can you recommend me a type,please?
Note:I am a semi-beginner
I have done lots of violin reviews on my channel: bit.ly/2sRagQ8
Stetnor 1 is amazing. Super chuffed with mine.
I love my Stentor after watching Allysons’ video on it. Also, google the making of Stentor violins on you tube.
I got a Stentor II, relatively affordable but decent enough
I'am just a beginner never even handle one before. I love watching you cause you explain things simply, easing to understand and that's a very good thing., i need all the help i can get. Do have a question. when I'am trying to tune the violin the pegs keep moving back losing up the string how do I stop that and also does the hole bow have to filled with rosin?
If the pegs won’t stay in turn after you turn them and push them in a little, then it might be time to upgrade.
You apply rosin on the whole bow. I have a video on this.
I’ve been a subscriber for a long time 2014-15? But I’m just starting violin though I’ve been busy doing other things currently on lesson 7
Thanks for the suggestions. I have just finished the Suzuki 1 book and am about to begin Suzuki 2. Do you think that's about the right level to start learning these pieces?
Unfortunately I dont know as im not familiar with the Suzuki method. I can only speak for those following my courses.
The Seitz concerto, is in suzuki book 4. By that stage, you'd be doing 3rd position (= moving your left hand down the neck of the violin), which makes it a little harder than the first position she talks about here.
So I'd wait till I was near the end of book 2/starting book 3 with these.
i have zero experience with any instrument and reading music... where should i begin??

MMM CHALLANGEING BUT NOT TOO MUCH AND SOUNDS GOOD. I TAG IT EASY LISTNENING, GOOD WORK1
Hi again, I have a problem in the concerto No 5. I don't quite understand how the first, second, and third movements are separated from each other, could you help me here?? The Reiding Op. 35 B minor has written numbers before the start of each movement but the other two don't.....I could find out how the movements were separated in the one by kuchler. But the conterto no. 5 I searched in TH-cam for it's different movement it literally didn't have movement three😔
Sometimes thats just how the composer writes them.
@@TheOnlineViolinTutor So you mean the concerto no. 5 only had the first movement in the pdf??
@@tara7328 This video was for pieces beginners should play. It may not be full concertos, but just pieces one should play. Sometimes thats a whole concerto, sometimes we play 1st movements and sometimes we play 3rd movements. I have simply provided the sheet music to those pieces. if you want to play the whole concerto or not, then thats up to you.
@@TheOnlineViolinTutor I understand🙂thank you so much for you help❤️
Hey, I would like to know the difference between a beginner and an intermediate violinist...
An intermediate player will sound better all round with more technique and more polished playing.
@@TheOnlineViolinTutor so a person in honor orchestra would be intermediate...right?
At what stage do you learn the shakey finger thing? X
When the basics are firmly down - which is a MINIMUM of a year. Even if you have the basics sooner than that, it still takes that amount of time for things to become a natural process and time is something you cant buy or accelerate.
@@TheOnlineViolinTutor my dad used to play when he was a boy and he had never forgot it but he plays just by ear and I want to learn proper music sheets. Itsna work in progress.. But will the music still sound the same played if i cant do the shakey finger thing for a while? X
About three months ago I could proudly say that my violin playing sounds JUST like Paganini ... when he was three years old. You know, that screeching sound babies and toddlers make a lot.
Now I can proudly say I no longer sound like that. I mean ... that's progress too, right?
i almost completed the first movement of concerto in g major by kuchler
After which of your lessons we will be able to play these pieces?
After book 2 and possibly song book 2 depending on the individual (so after lessons 11-20).
@@TheOnlineViolinTutor okay. Thank you. And one more doubt. How to find the 1st position of the 2nd finger and 2nd position of the 2nd finger on the staff notation ? Or same with the 1st finger ??
These questions are covered in my lesson course which I assume you are following :)
im working on concerto in g major rn.. (rip fingers)

Title : This is for beginners.
First thing said "this is not for beginners"....
Thanks lady....
Hi
i ve been playing for four years and they sound slightly complex
i am noticing people wearing headphones while playing and i dont know what its for???
Because Im recording professionally to get the best sound from the microphone that you see on my violin, the backing tracks need to be only coming through the headphones because if i let them play out in the room itself, my microphone will not only pick up my violin, but also the backing tracks in the background giving them a 'double' sound which isnt good.
I have gotten better than my brother on the violin
Says beginner does vibrato lol
Whats wrong with that? I play to provide inspiration how I would usually play - why would I take out vibrato and not make the pieces sound as they should be?
Not only that, even if you are an intermediate player, going back to these and working on making these sound awesome, is something one should definitely do.
I got to the making good sound phase in like a week but then im stuck with my left hand🫠
