Thank you, Lora - SO helpful, as always! BTW - if anyone out there is looking for an online teacher, make it Lora!!!! She's amazing!!!! Thankful to be on of her "students"!!!
From south korea, as a beginner, this video is greatly helpful for fixing my weird bow habits, you are such a great teacher teach us how to build perfect basic steps! Will wait for additional updates!
Blair Kim and Marry Christmas, thank you for those comments. Teachers who blame students for being "untalented" have no business teaching. HARD WORK is more important than TALENT. But having a good teacher to guide us is essential! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, and you will succeed!
Thank you for you explanation of Detache! I'm a (very) adult learner and my teacher is even more adult than me. He is an awesome violinist and teacher, but he DID forget to tell me these things. Your videos have been a great supplement!
I love students who supplement their learning on UA-cam. My own students sometimes share little tips they found on youtube with me. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your knowledge!!! I'm played for 4 years many moons ago and I'm 37 now and learning all over again with your help!! You're a WONDERFUL teacher!! :)
Thank you so, so, SO much for this! I'm a 34-year-old "lapsed" violinist/violist, getting back into playing after a rough diagnosis and several years' break. This is incredibly helpful!!!
So happy, Sarah. If you have a good detache', you will have a GREAT foundation. Glad you are back with your violin. Music can help you with your troubles. Stay tuned, I'm here to help if I can!
Thank you! I am an adult beginner violin student muddling through the “99 things” I need to put together in order to play! This was extremely helpful 😊
For a beginner, focus on your bow hold, getting comfortable holding the violin, and keeping your bow straight in the middle lane. After that, beautiful tone production! Good luck, and keep up the great work! Oh, by the way, detache' is a good start....because a good detache' means straight bow, good bow hold, and will lead to beautiful tone!
So scary how basic skills get thrown under the rug sometimes. I was working on a violin excerpt from Glinka's Russian and Ludmilla Ovt. and my fast detache strokes were not as clean as they should have been. This video helped point out my excessive colle attempt. Thank you so much!
On a small note, I would recommend on investing in a small audio interface and a large diaphragm condenser microphone. This year I got for myself a AKG P420 and it's an amazing mic but it may be a bit on the pricey side. A good microphone, a mic stand, position it well and this videos will be magnificent!
Thank you, thank you THANK YOU! I love to watch your videos to review my techniques and this was an outstanding review of basics that helps me to clarify and articulate just what the heck I'm doing in the first place! Being unable to currently afford lessons, I appreciate you GREATLY for making and sharing these videos!
Your videos are amazing and so helpful. I'm a violin teacher as well and I always come away with a better way to teach something. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you so much for your videos. I haven't been able to practice with my violin this year because the bow "hair"? xD Broke so I can't get a replacement in this city :/ (I live in Veracruz Mexico) the stores have only bows available and well, I'm not buying another cheap bow and there have been other expenses on other instruments I use more often but, regardless, your videos are amazing and your playing is beautiful. Again, thank you so much!
Oh, ArSa, it pains me that you are prevented from practicing because of missing bow hair. It's a choice you have to make between buying another cheap bow ($40), or paying for a professional re-hair ($50 plus shipping to a good luthier). Frankly, I would purchase the cheap bow so that you can start making some progress. But I know it's hard to juggle all the needs, repairs, supplies, etc. It's TOUGH!
Laura , this is another informative video in addition to all previous videos, but i think it would be great if you can make video about "good bow and bad bow differences" , also would like to know what violin brand you recommend for a new beginner ? Thank you
I absolutely LOVE the Yuan Qin violins from Southwest Strings. They are $600, and they will take you up to ADVANCED. (so...you could start with something cheaper, but if you want to give yourself every advantage, this is a small investment for a HUGE advantage. As far as bows go....I do not like carbon fiber. Get Pernambuco. Southwest has really good bows for $125. Get one with a FULLY LINED FROG. They tend to be better qualitiy.
Hey Lora, I like very much to see you again doing what you love more: teaching and playing violin. I wish you a happy Christmas and a healthy New Year. Teffy-
As an absolute beginner I love your videos! I have one question: How long does it take to master the straight bowing approximately? I know it will depend on so many things. So let's say: With a daily practice of 30-60 minutes, should I be able to bow straight after 6 months or more like after a year or will it take longer? Thank you in advance!
Hi Paprika Yes, it's a mixed question. So, practicing 30-60, you would definitely be able to bow straight BY FEEL, (not using your eyes....or just briefly checking) on EASY SONGS. But when you start playing harder songs, the bow will go crooked, and your sounding point will slip. If it doesn't, then you are the exception. So, students learn the skill of straight bow and sounding point, but then they have to constantly reinforce the skill or it falters on harder stuff. When working on straight bow, also be sure to focus on maintaining your sounding point (the highway). That will help your tone a TON! Good luck!
Great question. Bow strokes are such a confusing thing, because we all call them by different names. That stroke, specifically in La Folia, would be considered a "elongated staccato". Galamian does not show that combined articulation in his book, "Principles of Violin Playing and Teaching". So we are left to just describe what it is asking for. You want a space between the notes, but you want big broad strokes.
I have a question about my bow. When I am playing especially bowing on the E string or the A string, I noticed individual hairs from my bow are breaking off but only when I play on those two strings. Have you ever come across this? 😳 thank you and I appreciate everything you are doing for folks like me who are just beginning. I have only been playing or should I say learning the violin for about three weeks and I have already learned two sings and I am working on my third. I am also learning how to read music slowly. The songs I have learned r happy birthday, are you sleeping brother John, and now I am working on the happy farmer.😃❤️
I love a good mystery, Life with Jimmy. So, tell me: is the hair breaking in the same spot? If the hairs are always breaking about 6-8 inches from the frog, I can confidently say you are pinching the horse hairs between your bow stick and the violin string. 6-8 inches from the frog is where the curve of the bow brings the wood and hair closest together, and pinching the hair is very easy to do. So, tighten your bow, or ease up on your pressure, or don't tilt the stick too much. (those 3 things will solve this issue). Let me nkow if this solves it!
Hi Dipa Das, Visit this link. It is my website. If you scroll down, you'll see the Suzuki Book 1 class. I highly recommend that you start there. I also have a FREE membership (you will also see that) So you can sample a few things before you join. Or you can email me: lora@reddesertviolin.com.
It comes down to personal preference, Jimmy. But electric players tend to gravitate toward steel core strings like....oh, Prims for example. But my classical tastes DO NOT LIKE steel core strings regardless of what I'm playing. I prefer the response, complexity, and warmth of synthetic core strings such as Pro Arte or Infeld Reds. But as far as the equipment goes.....I have not found any reason to limit your choices on an electric. (I play on an electric occasionally, and I use the same strings on that as I use on my classical violin). If you learn otherwise, please share with me, because I'm speaking from "experience", not "expertise" on this subject!
Loralyn Staples thank you for getting back to me so quickly!!i value your opinion!! I have a hollow body violin ( or classical?) Is that what their called? But I think that it’s an inexpensive piece. My daughter purchased it about 12 yrs ago and got it off eBay with the bow and case etc for under 100$. Then I came along n adopted it! 😃❤️I always wanted to play....Then I heard some electric violins and I thought I was going to lose my mind!! The beautiful sound!! Well long story short..... santa🎅🏻delivered mine early today! It figures I broke a string tuning it..... it was the E string!! Anyway...... thank you for always being there for us! Your smart, gifted, talented and very helpful to folks like me. Blessings to you and yours!!😃❤️🎻🤗👌🎶
lora i progressed quite quickly with your tutorial .. i should go back to my old teacher .. but i do not feel like ,with you i realize how poor her teaching was great teaching of yours
Oh dear. I know that feeling. Are there other teachers in your area? The Suzuki ASsociation of the Americas has a great "find a teacher" app on their website. Also, sometimes if you can have a heart to heart with your teacher, some teachers are willing to step it up. And, you can always find my lessons at www.reddesertviolin.com. I hope for the best for you!
Hi Grace, You can contact me (lora@reddesertviolin.com) and I can put you on a waiting list. But the list moves VERY slowly. Meanwhile, I would encourage you to find an "interim" teacher, and I can help you find one. (I have people) ;-)

I think that i have a very but very good teacher. But watching your videos do help me a lot to reflect my errors and to improve. Thanks a lot.

this is incredible , Lori is such a fantastic and natural teacher.
More updates on the quest for a good detache' are coming soon.....thanks for watching!
Thank you for you explanation of Detache! I'm a (very) adult learner and my teacher is even more adult than me. He is an awesome violinist and teacher, but he DID forget to tell me these things. Your videos have been a great supplement!
I love students who supplement their learning on UA-cam. My own students sometimes share little tips they found on youtube with me. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your knowledge!!! I'm played for 4 years many moons ago and I'm 37 now and learning all over again with your help!! You're a WONDERFUL teacher!! :)
WELCOME BACK to violin, Crystal! I hope VERY MUCH to do some more awesome videos for basic violin skills soon. Stay tuned, and keep up your good work!
Really helpful - and make it easier to understand what I’m doing wrong and hopefully easier to sort out
I'm so glad! Yes, we teachers sometimes take Detache' for granted...but it's got some traps that can catch students if we don't teach it right.
Thank you so, so, SO much for this! I'm a 34-year-old "lapsed" violinist/violist, getting back into playing after a rough diagnosis and several years' break. This is incredibly helpful!!!
So happy, Sarah. If you have a good detache', you will have a GREAT foundation. Glad you are back with your violin. Music can help you with your troubles. Stay tuned, I'm here to help if I can!

As a violin teacher myself I must say that this is a very good video.
Lars, it's nice to meet a fellow teacher. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very generous teacher and clear!
Many thanks!
Thanks. I hope it will help
wow, great video
Hi Lora!, you are a fantastic teacher, i'm learning so much with your videos. I wish you a happy new year
Thanks, Francisco! I think 2019 is gonna be great! Happy New Year to you!
great video!
So scary how basic skills get thrown under the rug sometimes. I was working on a violin excerpt from Glinka's Russian and Ludmilla Ovt. and my fast detache strokes were not as clean as they should have been. This video helped point out my excessive colle attempt. Thank you so much!
Love that orchestra piece! And it's so fast!!! Your detache' has to be really good to do that speed. Good luck! (I be you'll nail it)
On a small note, I would recommend on investing in a small audio interface and a large diaphragm condenser microphone. This year I got for myself a AKG P420 and it's an amazing mic but it may be a bit on the pricey side. A good microphone, a mic stand, position it well and this videos will be magnificent!
I wrote that mic down. Right now, I'm using a Rode Condenser Shotgun mic, because I have to position it off-screen. But I'll check out the AKG.
Very good teacher and helpful tips
Thank you! 😃
Great lessons. Thanks so much, Teacher.
I hope it's helpful!
Thank you very much! Very helpful and fun!
Yay!
I'm an adult beginner, have been adult beginner over and over. Hoping to get some assistance from your videos.
Please make a video on different types of detache, like lance, porte, leger, perle!
Great idea. I have made videos on that topic in my Suzuki courses. I'll see what I can dig up.
Thanks for the sharing.👍
No problem 👍
Thank you so much .very good course. 👍
Thank you. I hope it helps!
Thanks Lora, I had not been practicing for a month and you gave me motivation to pick up my fiddle again.
Hey Nicola! Hope you are still on track! Come to Facebook and join my 100 day Practice Challenge!
Thank you
Welcome!
Thanks Lora, this video was helpful
So glad you found it helpful! Keep up the good work!
Thank you. I've been working on my detache stroke for almost a year as a beginner and this gives me more ammo to win this battle. :)
Definitely. Students need specifics. Hope it helps!
Thank you so much!!!Mil gracias!!!!
You're welcome! Thank you!
Thanks Lora. This is a brilliant lesson!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Thank you, thank you THANK YOU! I love to watch your videos to review my techniques and this was an outstanding review of basics that helps me to clarify and articulate just what the heck I'm doing in the first place! Being unable to currently afford lessons, I appreciate you GREATLY for making and sharing these videos!
Lloyd, I am super glad it helped you. Detache is one of the most misunderstood bowings!
Your videos are amazing and so helpful. I'm a violin teacher as well and I always come away with a better way to teach something. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for that. YES, teachers can all learn from each other! I love getting ideas from my fellow educators. All the best to you!
U r great !🎻💐
Thank you, Theo.

Glad it helped! Detache' is where it all begins! It is the foundation upon which all else is built!
Thank you for the simple explanation it was very helpful and demystifying.
Great! Thank you!

What is the bow stroke denoted by both a dot and line above th enote as is Suzuki v. 6 La Folia?
Great question. Bow strokes are such a confusing thing, because we all call them by different names. That stroke, specifically in La Folia, would be considered a "elongated staccato". Galamian does not show that combined articulation in his book, "Principles of Violin Playing and Teaching". So we are left to just describe what it is asking for.

@@RedDesertViolin Thanks. I hear it played all different ways, as well.
