RECOMMENDED VIOLINS:
Fiddlerman violins are the only violins I currently recommend. You can choose the violin to suite you depending on your budget. Remember the cheaper you go (buying rubbish from Amazon for example), the worse the violin will be (garbage most likely) and the HARDER it will be to learn - which is why Fiddlerman violins are an excellent beginners choice:

    Hi Alison! You are my Violin Teacher by choice! I have had my violin for about 5 days now, and I’ve been following your tutorials about holding the bow, how to bow, how to hold the violin, and bowing the open strings. I make sure I hold the bow the way you show us, but sometimes, as I’m bowing, I catch myself moving my fingers some… then I just stop and go back to the basics of holding the bow. I want to get to a point where my fingers don’t move when holding the bow… it will take practice… thank you so much for your expertise and excellent teaching! I have been a teacher all my life, and I know a great teacher when I see one. You are one of the best!

I have listened to so many of your videos and will continue to do so! However, I believe as a beginner having never played a violin, that I should start with a good teacher that is coming to my house and i am doing just that. My first lesson is April 7th. I can't wait! My violin I should receive today!! I also have been learning the flute for about the last year with lessons off and on, due to health reasons. Keep up the great work you are doing !!!!! You are wonderful!!

    I support all music students learning in any way they can and I support online teachers who transfer their musical knowledge in the best way they can, but with all the subtleties that playing the violin *properly* requires, nothing can replace a teacher in person, and good teachers take you along slowly for a reason. There are more to playing violin than just making the right sounds. One extremely important thing is to make those sounds with total relaxation of fingers, hands, and arma. I for example can play Gounod’s Ave Maria with “good” intonation and vibratos and all, but my Juilliard trained teacher is returning me to doing basic scales with fingers “between” the string producing terrible scratchy sounds and all just to train the hands to relax and not clamp on the notes, something that I would have never figured out on my own. That and tons of other subtle techniques that can only be observed, taught, and learned in person, otherwise one would forever remains a “hobby” violinist. So keep on playing and do your best, but do get a good teacher in person if that’s an option for you.

    First of all I want to thank you for putting out all these vidoes. I still remember that about 3 years ago when I was planning on buying a violin I looked at your vidoes and once I got it I continued to watch your videos to teach myself which I must say were very helpful. For a while I was teaching myself but eventually I found a violin teacher. I'd say that for the first year of learning was when I tried the most but around my sophomore year in high school I started slipping up and I wouldn't practice at much. It was only not practicing but my grades weren't the best and I wasnt interested in a lot of things I used to like. Anyways now I'm a senior in high school and I guess you could say that Ive been playing the violin for 2 years and some months but for about a year I wasn't trying my best. Right now I haven't practiced for almost 2 months and it's because I've been busy with school but today I tried playing and I feel like I have not accomplished much that I wasted so much time because I don't even know how to do simple things and now I don't even know if I should start playing again. I don't really know what to do so I wanted some advice

If you have lots going on and can’t practise, then there isn’t much point as you can’t learn by playing for a few days then nothing for a month. Start again when you feel ready to commit

Selfimprovemend is so important and everybody should agree, that progress takes time. We all want to skip to the part we actually get Pros and get disapointed when the next reachable step is just a small one. But that is how it works, right? Building up skills and not rushing trough.

    Hi Allison, I've been watching some of your 'how to videos' for a while now and I just started learning how to play the violin with weekly lessons. Is there any advice for what I should be doing or looking out for. I'd like to play the violin well as soon as possible, thank you so much.

    What i would find quite helpful would be if you had an app of some sort where the sound of each fret of the violin is displayed correctly. It could be a simple video too. I am saying this because i always find myself practicing where the frets are before practicing the pieces themselves. Some people would say to place stickers but i believe that once you take them out the ear would still need to understand if the notes are played correct and also you don't have stickers for 2nd and 3rd position(i mean playing all the notes of first position higher in the violin). I always find myself wanting to practice all the first position notes before i play the pieces in your book so i go to another video just to hear and play the basic notes and get that ''feeling''' of how the note sounds right on my fingers. Cause you know that each violin is slightly different and each human's fingers are unique so the player himself would have to ''well tune himself on the violin :P''. I am saying all this because if you build an app that would include the correct sound of all the frets notes ,the # (etc. etc.) of all positions, we online and with tutor players would have a solid point of reference to train and build strong habits each one with his own way.

    I've been subscribed for a bit planning on picking up the violin for a while and may finally have the chance to really soon. My one problem is that I still haven't decided between violin or viola. Which do you think would be better to start with? How transferable are the skills from one to the other? I've heard that many do violin at a young age mostly due to the size, but size shouldn't be an issue at this point. I also would love to perform in groups or orchestras at some point however I also would love to learn some solo pieces for my own pleasure. The problem with that is that it's easier to do violin in an orchestra and the like (or so I've heard) but I prefer the sound of the viola for many solo pieces.

    I would forget about everything and just learn what you want to learn or you will always resent it. It doesn’t matter where you want to play as in an orchestra for example as that may never happen for example, so play what you want to play and just be happy. Sounds like you are leaning towards the viola...

    At 54, I decided to learn Violin. Bought an inexpensive Mendini from Amazon and started last Spring...kind of put it down after a couple of weeks, but picked it up again about 3 Weeks ago and am now on Lesson 8. I have become a bit practice obsessed. Not setting particular time goal just playing as much as I want, which on weekends seems to be all day on and off and every evening when I get home from work. Can you practice too much? Also, I ordered the Fiddlerman Artist (a Christmas treat to self) to replace my $100 Mendini. Thank you so much for your lessons and for the Violin Reviews!

    This video? Bow hold and open strings are the basics and as I said in this video, I can only speak for MY videos and my books and this is what I teach and when and also when professionally, I think you should be learning these things. Colle bowing would be learned a good few years into playing as it’s a very advanced technique. If you go to another website, they may tell you differently.

    I am a concert level pianist just starting out on violin, most of these lists assume you know nothing about music. My main problem is just working on a path to playing the music I want. I don't quite have an understanding of what the 'easy' pieces are outside of the Suzuki books. The lists I find usually start of with those and end with them.

    An electric violin should be bought in addition to a good acoustic violin - not to replace one as they are not quite the same as acoustic violins. You should not use them to learn on.

    The supplementary electric is the one you would use for recording in home studio right? I have both, and have put a cheap, stick on piezo pickup on the acoustic, and it's fun to add effects like vibrato and reverb with, but not good enough to record with I don't think. The electric is less scratch with better effect result I've found.

    I'm getting a violin soon and I'll learn to play myself. With the help of your videos of course! While waiting to get my violin I've been playing the guitar and my left hand fingertips hurt because I played too long and the thinnest strings. It's probably gonna happen with the violin too so what should I do so it doesn't hurt? There's no marks or anything it's like the nerves that hurt. I only feel it when I press my fingertips on something especially on the strings if I try to play again. It's a bit better now but a few days back I couldn't play at all.

It feels really sad that I didn’t get enough chances to learn it or play it and I was like thinking that this won’t be happening for me. It’s been only 2 months since I came to notice your videos regarding violin and all of them are too good and really helpful. Now I have decided to learn Violin no matter how hard it may be because now that’s the only things which brings my happiness to the highest.
