I was searching “how to play twinkle twinkle star on violin” and your channel popped up. And I watched your first 5 Suzuki method video in a row. You teaching is so well-organized, instructions so clear and effective! And the best part is the sweet smile on your face after every demonstration!! I’m 36 and this the 11th week since I started to learn Violin. I feel so lucky to find you. I will follow you all along. Thank you so much!!

Brilliant, no dithering or messing just excellent learning.

Thank you so much ma'am for providing everything for free! I don't have enough words to express my feelings and gratitude for you❤️

Sie sind so charmant und sympathisch, da macht das lernen der Geige richtig Spaß 😊 . Ich bin aus Deutschland, mein Englisch ist nicht so gut aber sie sprechen sehr gut und langsam und mit dem Zeigen der Übungen an der Geige, kann man alles auch so verstehen. Vielen lieben Dank und Grüße nach Großbritannien. Alle Länder sollten in der heutigen Zeit nett und friedlich miteinander sein und ich finde Musik verbindet über die Ländergrenzen hinweg.

You are really amazing! I started violin from 0 and now i can play a song. Thank you

Thank you so so much. I've only been learning for about week but only today did I discover your lessons. I've watched videos that have me using stickers on my violin, fret board stickers etc. I struggled to get my finger on the dot sticker to sound like the note a chart was telling me But now I really feel like I'm learning by ear. I'm not always spot on but I'm getting better. Thank you. I feel so much better and less stressed. Off to buy the bookd 😁

Hi B Hinchcliffe, that sounds good! Best wishes for your learning. 👍

I've played the guitar for 50 years and I'll never give up until they pry it from my cold, dead hands... Oops, that's for gun nuts. Anyway, I'm sticking around until you get to adding vibrato to a note. For some reason the seemingly effortless vibrato on a violin just destroys me. I'll be happy with that! Rock on! 🤘

Hey teacher❤ When do i start from the heel of the bow , and whem do i start from the point?

I will do! I am planning a ‘Read music for beginners course’ after the virtual violin practice playalong!

This is great Henrietta! We got our outfits yesterday! I'm happy I watched many of your lessons prior. I didn't end up getting a 5 string; after much research I decided on the 4 string Glasser carbon composite, and happy for that. I must ask, I'm trying very hard to not place any pressure on my thumb while fingering, but to no avail, it wants to squeeze no matter what I do; this must be where practice comes in; are there any other tips? And the couple weeks that we were waiting for the violins, I built up calices from an acoustic guitar, but I've noticed the calices are larger than needed now and it affects pizzicato; should I trim them with nail clippers and rebuild them? Oh, and thank you!!!

My struggle is switching between strings in an unclean way. Working on it. Still sounds scratchy.

Thank you so much for your channel. Enjoying every bit of your teaching. I am having some issues with fingering the D string. Seems like the hair want to touch the adjacent strings when I try the F# . Any suggestions other than keep working on technique?

@violinclasses

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Todd, is it the hair of the bow that touches the adjacent string or is it the left hand finger? Please stop exactly when that happens, freeze in your tracks and analyse what happens. If it is the bow, try tilting that hair so that it gets flat on the string, perhaps adjust the level of your right elbow, so that it steers the bow more towards the D string. If it is the left finger, try placing it more in the middle of your finger tip on the string. Let me know if either of theses suggestions work. Good luck! 🤞

Hello, thanks for your question. Yes, you leave your fingers down once you have played each finger, and then when you play a lower note, take your fingers away one by one.

I've been practicing, just playing the open strings now. But, starting to fret the notes without a shoulder rest is tough, should have one in the next 5 days from Ebay. I feel like I need to control the instrument more with my head and neck, and keep less tension in my left hand, when fretting notes. Can't wait for that shoulder rest to arrive.

Hello and many many thanks for putting this lessons together in such a nice and well structured way. I have a question (not sure if you will be able to answer here but I will give it a try anyways lol). When I play the G string in a open position I am able to get a good full sound and I believe I am following your guidance in positioning my elbow properly as it works well with the open string. However, when I try to go down the scale (A B or C) pressing the string with my fingers the sound is awful and almost unrecognizable. I am able to produce a good sound in the others string so I don’t believe it is due lack or pressure on my fingers. What could I try to remedy this? Thanks much!

@violinclasses

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Mencio, without having seen your playing position, I am guessing that it might be something g to do with how your fingers are placed on the string. It your top finger knuckle vertical? And if so, are you pressing down the string with the pad of your finger tip and not with your nail?

I can see Theme on pg. 9 but the violin part is not the same - it has B, C (sharp), D in the music. Gavotte is on pg. 26. Still happy playing along with the video, I just really should have checked the full details before ordering. 🙄
