Thank you so much for this brilliant tutorial! I am an adult learner / returning from learning as a child. Despite years and hours of practice, I still sound dreadful! Your advice has taught me things I have never heard before and is so helpful! Especially about bowing more from the elbow and less big arm movements and the index finger! Please can you do another video about the index finger and how to do this for beginners as I am struggling to apply this technique! Many many thanks 😃🙏
Thanks for all the tips,you hit everyone I need to work on.I bought the violin years ago ,like 20 years ago.Then my life fell apart,so ,it's been lonely for 20 years.I just started a Month ago an can play Amazing grace, Sound of Silence, O Holy Night ,and now working on Shallow. I'll be.back ,your very informative, more than other websites Thanks.
I think it's incredibly hard to get into the habit of using the full bow, being a guitar player first, since there's only a quick strum and you are trained to alternate picking. Getting it in your head that you can get more note out of one bow is hard.
Thank you so much! This is super helpful! I've been trying to figure out how to explain things to my new student, and these drills are great! I look forward to seeing more.
So, I have a problem I can't fix that I believe makes my tone poorer... I bounce like a pendulum while playing (even scales and exercises). It's like the movement is coming from the body, not the bow. I can't get rid of it, I can pay a lot of attention and stay super stiff and not bounce (beacuse I get so tense), but as soon as I get focused in the music I bounce again. I am specially tense, maybe bouncing is a way of trying to release it... Perhaps you can address excess of body movement in some lesson? Thank you so much for this video, it's clear, straight to the point, well structured and very, very instructive.
You are left-handed!!! Me, too. But when I asked the music store if I could buy a violin for my left-handed practice. I was told that they don't exist.
Hi my friend Keith is left handed and plays left handed, he has had the sound post moved to the other side and the base bar moved to the right side, strings are obviously reversed, e on the left g on the right, sounds great! I play the melodeon (Well I try!) , never seen one played left handed but it can be done, high notes at the bottom low notes at the top, chords with right hand,cheers John.

Thanks for the tips, I'm doing many things wrong hehehe

The image is a mirror: what shows left is actually right. Notice the trademark on the shirt.

if you watch to the end he attempts to play left handed. I am left handed as well and it only took a few hours to adjust 😁
I am 18yrs and I love violin which type of violin tutorial book will I buy please??
Bitrus Luka Ijiptil the Suzuki violin school! So helpful! Check it out :)
So if I have had multiple wrist and hand injuries, there's no reason for me to pursue this any further. Thanks for everything, and thanks for nothing.
