    The violin I am using now is a Fiddlerman Master Violin.
    I bought this one during Black Friday. I also made a video comparing my first violin, around 120 euros, with this Fiddlerman Master Violin. Check it out: • Violin € 1200 vs. € 120
    Thanks for watching !

    Great job! For several years I taught myself violin as well. In 2019, I sought out lessons with a teacher, after about a year of barely touching my violin due to depression.

      Hello thanks !
      Actually I want to find a teacher but I have to find a job for me firstly 😅
      Good luck with your violin journey!

    LESSGGGOOOOOO. This is so good. I resonate with this so much because I've been playing guitar for about 8 years now (not self taught), but I wanted to go through the learning experience again, so I bought myself a lefty guitar and started self learning. Still on day 42, but its nice to see people on the grind likewise.

    Great progress, it's nice to see your tone improve as the months went by! I posted my 3 years progression recently and it's nice to see other adult beginner's journeys 😁👏🎻

      hello Peter, thanks for your comment ! I just went to your homepage and watched your progress video. I have to say your tone is way much better than me in the first several months 👍

      Thank you so much! I had a slight advantage as I've had years of piano knowledge before hand which really helped my violin playing. You're doing extremely well and I hope you keep up your wonderful journey. Looking forward to more videos from you, subbed! ⭐

    Your progress is great! However, I believe that your progress will be much faster with guidance from experienced violin teacher.

      Yes, I do agree that having a teacher would be better. But it is financially difficult for me to hire a teacher 🥲. I will find a teacher as long as I can.

    I’m very impressed by your progress..though I’d recommend you get a teacher when it’s possible for you to do so…they can guide you with your technique better…because I do think during these months you sometimes chose pieces a bit too hard for you…I think the violin you used from the start to end of month 3 was also out of tune..but it’s really nice to see your tone and intonation improve through 6 months!!! Good on you…and keep going!!❤

    I think you have placed the sticker for the 4th finger a little higher... That's why your third position sounds out of tune... Please check with a tuner.
    Also try to curve your right pinky on the bow.
    Great progress👏👏. Keep it up!

    • @Claire-wonderfulland
      @Claire-wonderfulland  2 місяці тому +1

      Hi thanks !
      I had some problems with my first violin. I checked with a tuner but still it sounded out of tune. But I changed to a new violin in the 4th month. I think it is better.
      For the bow hand, yes my pinky was straight all the time but I changed it in the 3rd or 4th month.

      Hmm how about checking the tempo with metronome help? :)
      It works wonderful to me as a beginner playing strings in her 30's :)
      加油!

      Hello thanks for your comment. Yes I am right now practicing pieces with metronome for sometime to be in tempo.
      谢谢你!

      Very glad to hear, keep on going!
      但是.. 我覺得您是否經常感到焦慮、緊張或精神緊繃? Because it's right there when you draw the strings. It seems to me you feel anxious and unsure 😔
      My previous teacher would recommend practicing open strings as a daily warm-up and distribute the weight of the bow evenly to make an even sound.
      Attack the note with more confidence as if you were singing!!

    Great try! You may still need to check your tunes and rosin. I feel your rosin on the bow is not smooth.

      thanks for your comment ☺️
