I really thank you because I am playing violin for four years but I feel like I nearly know nothing. Thanks to you I will be more careful while I play. 🧡
You have really highlighted the very obvious true reasons which many would not realise that would effect their learning n playing violin or any other instrument. Good job Julia👍👍👍
Yup - I don't focus on problem areas, and I don't challenge myself, and I use a device to tell me if I am in tune or not (I don't use my ears enough). Good tips that really shine a light on bad habits.
Hi Edward, I recently started using a tuning device as I struggle to know when I am not exactly in tune. I am confused now. I feel that I was practising a lot, but out of tune without knowing. 😩 what should I do? How can I manage this. I am playing nearly 4 years.
It's been two months I've touch violin...and I am not going to violin class...i can play the easy songs but the sounds are out of tunes... #Sesiemomin And I wanna thank you so much because of you only I achieved this much and I believe that I can do better... 🤗 God bless you and continue to help the beginners like me😍 And I'm a slow learner...everyone have their own capability... And some learn fast and slow...and I know we need patience for musical instruments and thanks to you....even though I'm a slow learner I could play this much just because of you😊🤗
Thank you.. I connected myself to all 5 points. I love violin but my lack of practice is pulling me down... Your tips have really motivated me. I'll show some better progress now on.
It's really happened to me 🥺 but I'm not quitting in violin ...I still put practices 🎻 even though the sound of violin does not sounds good ... There's a word says practice makes a man perfect 😇 ...
I used to play violin ages 7 through 20 and then took a 32 year hiatus. Ouch! When I started playing again I had major problems with neck pain and had to go to a physical therapist. Julia has a video on stretches which is amazing and has helped me a lot. I use them after each practice section. I take frequent breaks, using a timer, to make sure I take them and then move around during the break. This also helps. Good luck! Getting older definitely has it's challenges. 😊
I've had four months of practice and put in a lot of effort to master Russian Fantasia No. 2 by Leo Portnoff... What a mistake... It was too hard and actually a waste of time! Next month will mark one year of practice for me, and I'm now working on the Rieding Concerto Op. 35 (THANKS TO YOUR RECOMMENDATION !). It's my new favorite piece, and I can actually play it! (Though with a few intonation issues... lol.)
Thanks for your great tips which are most useful for me at 2 weeks into the violin. Just one thing, the more pedantic among us would point out that a song is something that is sung whereas a tune is something that is played...
The critical mistake I made was learning songs straight away instead of following a gradual course. Once I started from ground 0 and practised using Paganini book 1, I significantly improved in a few weeks. I think it would make your channel very popular if you started a series of videos taking beginners through a course of your choice. You are doing great anyways, thank you Julia!
Thank you for this. One of the reasons I'm not improving, is that I have problems with different types of techniques, but don't know the best ways to train them/do exercises or songs that improve them. I have a teacher though, will ask her after corona isolation is over. Have played for one and a half years now. You're videos are always excellent, I really enjoy them. Especially this one, when I'm feeling like I'm stuck even though I play at least an hour a day. Also the feeling of 10 different things that I know I don't play correctly and knowing that learning them takes forever is really draining, at least for me. Thats my thoughts, thanks for the video and all of the best!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experience! ❤️ Glad to hear that you are making the best of a bad situation during these trying times and have continued to move forward with your violin learning. That feeling you mentioned almost like an intuition of knowing when you are not playing correctly is a good sign that you are on the right path so far. Thanks again for sharing and all the best as well!
Oh. I get it. I have to change my mistakes and bad habits, not "practice" through it. Hey (lol) no life lessons. (Hehe) just Violin lessons. Thanks for this video!
I don't get results because i'm not practecing. Why am i not practicing? Because i don't feel the music i play or i can't enjoy the violin like i thought befor. Hope you help me with that. Thank you.
I play the piano and i rly can say that your vid was still helpful. I like challenges and so no 5 applies to me a lot. My fingers are slow and so instead of training those i just pick a piece because i get frustrated. I know i am supposed to practice techniques because they'll make a piece easier but still it's so nerv wracking playing exercises for months straight because your fingers are too weak.
💡Thank you Julia💐🎻❤💡 I am a beginner🎻 with progress (1,5 years) But i need a better Violin to improve and progress myself. My actually Violin 150€😅🤣😂 is a toy. I like your videos. Thank you🎻
thank you for your lessons, your ebook is being very useful to me. I have a question, how can i differ if a piece is above my level or is just challenging? trying to play binks no sake btw
Mm, hard to say, but I'll try: challenging would be that you could feel confident playing a measure in tune in 30 min of practice, too difficult would be that you're practicing for 3 hours and didn't even master 1 measure of the song.
5 reasons why you don't see results 1. You don't practice 2.You waste practice time 3. You don't listen when you play 4. You don't challenge yourself enough 5. You practice pieces that are too difficult
Thank you very much for the useful tips.. Can you please make a tutorial on how to play pink no sake from one piece I'm that I can play it if you made a tutorial on it 💚🙏 thanks
Yes sometimes finding motivation to practice is difficult, but I would encourage you to try starting with 5 minutes a day, or maybe a simple scale. Doing something small and simple, might give you the motivation to try something a little more. 🥰
My violin playing sounds like 4 cats fighting in a box (I'm very new). But I'm practicing ever day.. very little of my 30+ years playing the piano isn't helping me much yet on the violin ... But I do enjoy all the new challenges
I am stuck on technique. Have got to the stage when I should be double stopping and playing vibrato but just dont seem to be able to get them, especially vibrato, so get frustrated with practicing.
Julia I know u might not know this song but I'm a kinda beginner and kinda advanced but I really want to know how to play a song from attack on Titan called "shinzou wo sasageyo" and I would really be thankful if u make a vid of that song..I really want to know how to play that song..if u read this plz take your time to think about it
I’m happy to hear you have kept learning even though you’ve had obstacles along the way. Mistakes are part of the journey and everyone makes them, but important thing is to learn and keep going 🎻✨

You have really highlighted the very obvious true reasons which many would not realise that would effect their learning n playing violin or any other instrument. Good job Julia👍👍👍
Thank you Zafar! 😊 And yes, many violinist realize these true reasons but are not able to completely "put their finger on it". 🎻✨
Thank you Julia 💙
Thank you Julia, since I have your tips I can improve much better as before.
Excellent teaching! You mentioned 5 very important tips to keep in mind when wanting to improve violin playing.

How do I know when to move forward to a new piece?
Well for me when you got one piece perfect and memorize it then move on to another piece
51 yrs and Just started four days ago. I have been doing five to ten minutes twice a day, because of a bad shoulder.
I am older, found myself with a nice viola, and a 100 years Strad copy from EH Roth and I am motivated too.
I used to play violin ages 7 through 20 and then took a 32 year hiatus. Ouch! When I started playing again I had major problems with neck pain and had to go to a physical therapist. Julia has a video on stretches which is amazing and has helped me a lot. I use them after each practice section.

Practicing dexterity exercises can help strengthen your fingers so you can play more easily!😊

Thats normal.

Is it unreasonable that I have been playing for 8 months and it doesn't appear that I can play it well.
Not at all! 😀 It's like that for most people
How well do you play it? What does "well" mean to you?
I have face book...this is my FB...Luga Sihombing
