I'm 70, and just starting on my violin-playing journey. I doubt that Andre Rieu or The Royal Albert Hall will ever call to invite me to make a guest appearance and I doubt that I will ever play in a rock band. Irrespective of that, your advice is excellent! I use CENS ear defenders for other activities (shooting) - they are superb. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this. I've played many instruments over the years, and I'm now returning to the fiddle after two decades of letting it lie fallow. I used to get a lot of neck and shoulder pain and tiredness, made worse by busking, playing in a folk rock band, and in cramped pub sessions, and it's starting to return. I just found this channel after looking for left thumb, shoulder, and chin rest advice, and those videos already helped me. This kind of advice is gold dust to a self-taught player of my age (66). I'm very lucky (in many ways) to be married to a professional violinist, who is helpful and supportive, but simply doesn't have time to teach this kind of thing, (and in any case, it's just too weird to have a partner as your teacher, especially as she doesn't play folk/traditional music). A few years ago she became unable to play because of her right shoulder, which at first was treated as bursitis, but in the end turned out to be a build-up of chalky deposits on two tendons, causing excruciating pain. Luckily, there's a microsurgery sonic treatment that worked extremely well, and she recovered within days. However, she was told that this problem is not uncommon for violinists to develop, so worth bearing in mind if you start getting chronic shoulder pain.

As a necromancer of old long-neglected violins I have a huge collection of rosin that has come along to my possession in the cases they come in. I have read some people saying rosin deteriorates and "goes off" with age. I have never found evidence of this. My daughter prefers the ancient black rosin . I've loads of it in little old Victorian cardboard boxes - giving her a lifetime supply. It would be interesting to see what happens to black rosin in a tropical climate.

Thank you!
Thank god, greatly explained... Thank you ever so much.
Lovely tone💥👍🏾
Thank you
A great lesson. (I bought and used the clear plastic bow straightening device. It works).
isnt a type of wax for violin bows? well you did ask!
In your opinion, what percentage of the sound of the violin comes from the bow?
What do you mean? The sound comes from the string vibration cause by the friction of the rosined bow. The string vibration resonates within the violin itself
@@theviolincoach will an expensive bow create a better sound?
hello
i dont even play violin, i dont wanna buy rosin :(
🤣
As a necromancer of old long-neglected violins I have a huge collection of rosin that has come along to my possession in the cases they come in. I have read some people saying rosin deteriorates and "goes off" with age. I have never found evidence of this. My daughter prefers the ancient black rosin . I've loads of it in little old Victorian cardboard boxes - giving her a lifetime supply. It would be interesting to see what happens to black rosin in a tropical climate.
I smawk eet
😂
5:46 thanks you it's help me
I think sitar o banjo are really hard to master,maybe i'm wrong...
Thank you. Very helpful. I realized the bow needed to be lifted but didn’t understand the mechanics of how.
Orangey-yellow-brown coloured is exactly how I would describe it, too.
Unless it's a green or black one... They are less common
Love your tutorial beautiful Lady😊
Would you make a video about the left hand? Mine is a bit slow.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZaiE2M2kmc--m5s.htmlsi=meI9PvwcdfdXOHlu Let me know if you still have questions after this video I made in 2020
@@theviolincoach thanks very much! So helpful.
@@theviolincoach I’m lifting the knuckles above the finger board and it’s made a drastic improvement. My fingers are moving freely and I have more range! My fingers are moving down instead of sideways. Thanks so much for this tip!!!!!
