Not me searching for Violin tutorials when i don't have a violin😭😭😭I'm really interested in Violin, because i love the way it sounds, but i don't have money to buy one
Hello, I am 30 years old and I have never played an instrument. Recently, a violin came out of the attic and into my life.. After two hours of watching a few of your videos (How To: Tune your violin, 7 Ways to NOT Hit Other Strings & Sound Scratchy on the Violin, Learn To Play The Violin in 1 (one) Hour!! YES - in one whole hour!!!) and trying various things, I am able to play an awful version of something that somewhat resembles Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Haha! I am nothing close to professional but I am very impressed that you were able to teach me how to make a song in less than an hour on an instrument that I have never played. You are a great teacher and I appreciate that you provide lessons for free. Thank you so much!
@@annawamugure5354 It's very possible to learn online. Having a teacher with you has it's extra benefits, but these lessons are best lessons I've seen online. Just follow the steps and you're good 😃.
I’ve been dreaming of playing the violin my whole life. Just bought one on amazon and it’s arriving Tuesday! I think I just found my tutor :) will update
My goal is to learn how to play every instrument just enough for me to have to right to say that I know how to play every instrument. I know how to play the piano, guitar (both electric and acoustic), ukulele and beatbox. Now I'm trying to learn how to play the violin. One day, I'll have all these different instruments laying around the house just waiting for me to play them
I used to have the same goal until I noticed I started to become mediocre at everything instead of honing in on a few instruments. I went from 8 instruments to 2, and now after 16 years of piano and 9 years at guitar, just now adding in violin. It's worth being really good at a few instruments than to be mediocre on a lot of instruments. You'll also find when you hone in on a few all of a sudden people are constantly inviting you to jam sessions, whereas if you're just mediocre at a lot of instruments they'll be impressed at first, then realize you're a beginner at everything. Just a thought.
Don't get me wrong, it's still fun to know how to play a little of a lot of instruments, but there's nothing quite as rewarding as becoming proficient at a few instruments.
same!! i know how to play the piano the ukulele and the recorder and i kinda know how to play the acoustic guitar so im planning to buy one and be good and then buy an electric one and maybe learn violin
Thank you so much for your free classes! I've always wanted to play the violin, but since the violin classes cost 30mins £30 it was a bit pricy to go! I got a violin recently and now I am practicing everyday from your channel! Thank you so much!!
21 years of age and finally for the first time ever I am getting my violin tomorrow! I've wanted one for about 6-7 years now and I'm extremely excited and am super ready to bust tail and practice playing as much as I can. This might be your old video and honestly it's my first one of yours that I'm watching but your explanations are super helpful! I can't wait to start this new passion I've been longing for, for so long.
It's always sad to see a comment like this and years later when people ask how the progress is going, they dont respond :( I wanna hear about people succeeding in their passions :(
I’m 70 and just acquired a violin. I am self taught on guitar, banjo, ukulele, and mandolin. A traditional player has told me I should know the notes as a violin is tuned the same as the mandolin. I can pick up a tune by ear in folk sessions and make a fist of playing it or at least fitting in with Irish and Bluegrass tunes. My next door neighbour aged 5 is getting a violin for Christmas and I’m hoping to keep up with her. Should be fun. I have given some Rockabilly lessons on guitar to her elder brother and seems to be doing ok. I’ll post again in a month or so. I want to play Roisin Dubh, Galway Races and Rocky Road To Dublin by Easter. Take care & keep on rocking.
picked up a violin at a goodwill for $25.00 watched your video and can play twinkle twinkle, amazing grace, you raise me up and the star wars tune and have only had the thing just under a week. never played before love your videos. keep up the good work.
As someone who is starting today, quite literally, and can't take proper lessons for various reasons, stumbling over this video is a damn blessing. Thank you so much!
@@Neytiristree I am starting at 18. I did some research and everyone can learn at any age, with or without teacher. But if you want to learn for professional purposes it is recommended to start as a kid.
I used to play in 6th and 7th grade, then I had to quit to focus on school. Now I have graduated college and I want to play again. Let’s hope this video gets me back on speed
Fantastic, I used to play at school, over 4 decades ago, I still have my violin, and you have now given me the thirst to pick it up, check the strings, replace them and tune my violin and play...thank you so much..I am a cellist but violin was my first string instrument..thank you
Excellent. Trying to assist my brother who wants to play at 77 yrs. He is keen. I'm sure this will encourage him. Very clearly spoken. Looking forward to the results. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. Picked up the violin this month because I wanted to learn a musical instrument, and even though learning on my own is very overwhelming your tutorial had me from "never played a thing in my life" to "I played a song."
I’m really excited because I commented three months ago about how I wanted to play the violin since I was 7 but now my mother ordered my violin so I’m very excited it’s coming in a few days and I can’t wait to watch your lessons and learn how to play violin 😁😁😆😆
Thank you for ALL your hard work putting these videos together. My Grandfather gave me a violin and I have always loved the sound of one and because of you I can now play, hold the bow, and the violin properly. I am still learning however.
I can't thank you enough. I played clarinet for 7 yrs, maaany years ago. I decided to try violin (fiddle) because fiddle music was always a big part of my family. I practiced just bowing for a few weeks, 10 -15 min twice a day. Not great, not even good, YET. I wanted to start learning fingering and hit a huge wall. You just showed me how to get over it. I watch several different channels, read alot but you were the first and only one who pointed the following out To read the music you are looking down the direction of the scrolls. I felt like an idiot! It never occurred to me that I should sit anyway but pretty much head on to the music. I've seen a professional orchestra and the players were sitting sort of sideways but I never thought about the music. Most were wearing skirts and I just thought, as I had drilled into me, knees together and ankles to one side. I don't consider myself to be a complete idiot but after watching this video I may have to reasses that notion. Again, thank you.
There are no words to express my gratitude for ALL the content you have put out! I have been binge watching all of your tutorials and lessons for almost two weeks now, in hopes that one day, I can truly play the violin...without causing excruciating pain to my poor dogs ears! For now, I will give Twinkle Twinkle Little Star a go. Sincerely, THANK YOU!
I’m a 28 year old black woman I started playing at age 11 all through high school then I stopped in college I’m About to start back up. This is a nice refresher
My dad brought me a violin today!! I am soo excited to learn how to play. I am going to watch your whole course and try my best to play everyday. Thank you for your help in advance :)
Thanks a lot Alison for this tutorial. Really helpful and I can now play twinkle twinkle quite comfortably. Also enjoying learning to play my new violin more because of that. God bless you.
I’ve had my violin for over a year now and playin sort of never really worked out so I got a bit demotivated. But this video is really helpful it’s already sounding better. Thank you so much 😊
Excellent start to playing the violin. I was just given a violin and was intimidated by the thought of learning how to play it. Your teaching breaks it down to the basics in an easy understandable way. Thank you!!
You are a good teacher! I just got my violin. I am going to start this lesson, as soon as I figure out how to tune my violin 😀🤭 Thank you for these lessons!
Thank you so much! Got my violin 3 days ago and your videos are really helping! I plan on getting a teacher but I don't want my violin to just sit around while I wait find one. Your super easy to follow and I love how you break down each step!
I have a bucket list of learning how to play as many musical instruments i can :-D so far i can play Guitar Uke Sax Clarinet piano keyboard drums.. I got my very first Violin today :-D that was super easy :-D thank you a million for this quick intro :-D looking forward to progressing this beautiful skill :-D
thank you so much for the great lesson. My younger brother has a violin. But he never gives it me. So when he is not at home, I steal his violin and learn to play it from you.!
For Christmas, I got a violin, I haven’t been really practicing because I got pretty busy until now, now I am trying out this video! So thank you for helping me learn some stuff!
BEFORE ANYONE ELSE comments about how I'm 'talking too much' in this video....please bear in mind that this video is SUPER OLD now as I made it right back when I first started this channel with poor equipment and editing skills and didnt think my channel would now have over 400k subscribers in 2018! My videos are now so much better with pro video and audio equipment, better editing, faster, slicker and to the point...😀
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I played in elementary school and have often thought about learning again. At 55 years old after hearing a concert while on holiday in Vienna last week i decided it was time. I ordered a starter violin (thanks Amazon) and just opened it this evening. I am so happy I found your videos! You're adorable and SO NICE to make these videos for us! XO
Can u plz send me a link to a super easy Mr sand man like how twinkle twinkle Lil star was its cuz I just really want to play it but I'm still learning how to read music so I need something easy like the twinkle version but it needs to be the song Mr sandman plzzzzzz
I want to say thank you! I bought myself a violin for Christmas. Never played an instrument in my life. But after spending hours tuning it, I was able to "play" Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Not nearly perfect, but it was fun! I will sign up for your 1-30 lessons course. Thank you! 💖 🎻
I love your accent it is lovely.......Also your videos are inspiring many people including myself. Thanks for teaching/guiding the world of the knowledge you have learned throughout the years. Have a great weekend!! :)
The Online Piano and Violin Tutor Amazon doesn't ship from where I'm from do you have a printable of that Don'tFret Sticker? or do you know the exact measurements?
Thank you for the great video on getting started on the violin. I already play mandolin and guitar, and just bought a violin to learn to play, as I always admired the fiddlers. Your instructions were very clear and to the point on all the important points, how to hold the bow properly, how to hold and position the violin correctly. Great job!
I'm 50yrs old and I'm kinda interested in learning how to play violin. I have my own keyboard and guitar and I can play them both. There's something that wants me to play violin and I'm kinda serious thinking about it. Your video is very encouraging and I thank you for it.🎹🎸
That's pretty impressive.. I bought the violin like an hour back.. Made my own Fret finger placement and was able to do the twinkle twinkle in about 10 mins. Probably because I know the notes in a base and piano.. But this was quite a lot of fun :) Thankyou
As some one who only just got a Violin and is trying to learn as an adult after taking piano lessons as a kid this is so fantastic to help me feel confident and more hopeful going forward. Thank you for this and for all your other videos that I look forwrad to watching as I go forward
I have experience playing Violin from Band Class in High School. Never hurts to have a refresher on the technique to playing one. In fact, my experience doesn't stop at the Violin, I have also played the Viola and Cello. I even have my own personal Violin I got from my Dad who knew I was playing at the time.
Thank you so much, I’m just a teenager but I’ve wanted to learn violin for so long and I just recently got one. I played my first song in 1hour of getting the violin! I can’t believe it! I’m working towards being able to play my favorite soundtracks from my favorite video game. My last comment was a few weeks ago, and I got that string fixed.
Thank you so much! I just started yesterday (techniques and posture mostly) I listened to this today and played this song in under 10 mins. The printout helped a lot. Thanks a bunch!
Hello! Thank you so much for your content. I'm 25 from Oklahoma. Bought an outfit from Fiddlershop last week, and after much reading studying researching up on what the heck I should do to start, today was the first day I've ever picked up a violin, and the first time I (somewhat nicely) played a tune!!! I was so excited to see this video, and even more excited to discover I've got the perfect stepping stones laid out before me right here to learn how to play violin!
Thanks so much for this video! I started learning the violin 12 yrs ago but didnt progress after a few months (my violin was washed away by a flood). And i now have a renewed passion for it and this really helped me! 😊👍❤
Why does it seem so easy ??? 😍 Great tutors are those who simplify things ❤️ Actually my dream when I was little was to become a musician for some reason I chose to be something else but now I’m thinking about buying a violin and have fun with it and this tutorial is just so amazing. Thank you so much ❤️ you’re absolutely the best 😚
I've been playing guitar for 13 years now. Wanted to learn the violin for quite a while, I hope my experience as a guitarist will make it a little easier !
Hi Everyone, this video is just a bit of fun and aims at teaching you the very basics to just get you going with your new violin. It it not meant as a one-stop-teaching-shop of course, but enough to wet your whistle as it were, so you can see whether the violin is something you want to pursue.

My daughter is about to start at school and I’m thinking of picking it up. I’m 38 and I am ripe for a new hobby anyway. Will be really nice sharing the learning experience with her. Can’t wait for her to get excited about learning this one 😁 Will be checking out your videos a lot as think.
Thanks for these videos I don’t have my violin yet I ordered mine from Amazon it’s coming in on Friday I’ve been dreaming of the violin for a long time
I’ve never played the violin, I’ve wanted to since I was about 8, I’m 11 and it’s almost my birthday, and my grandma is hypothetically speaking about it. But, because of COVID-19, and we can’t really afford a teacher, I’m watching this and then I’m gonna rewatch it one day if I get a violin!
Honestly trying to learn a violin e/o a teacher is hard. I’ve had the violin ever since I was 6 (didn’t know what they were called at the time but I saw them on cartoons and wanted one 💀) I’m 12 now and Im still not very good since I didn’t have teacher (well it’s one of the reasons) but it’s not impossible. When you get your violin, please take care of it. I’ll be rooting for you!!
There are 2 'Stars' to your presentation here: One of them, of course, is 'Twinkling' .. and the other is yoU! who is absolutely brilliant!! ... what a wonderful teacher you are!!! I've had fun learning some guitar thru youTube vid's .. generally with acceptable if still mediocre results, but i must say that you, ma'am embody the qualities of 'total master teacher'.. Thank you!! I'll be back after my violin arrives!!
04/01/2022! I have got an early birthday present off my brother, my 58th birthday is on the 7th January. My first violin! After 30 minutes of watching this video we were both able to play our first tune. I will be a avid watcher. Thanks for sharing your experience and allowing me to feel accomplished.
Don’t give up guys! Your violin may not sound similar to the instructors, but with Rosin and pulling rather that pressing down hard on those strings, with a little patience you’ll realize that not all brands of violins sound alike either.

@Firefighter 0009 idk I'm stupid isn't a fiddle a country style violin?

This is by far the most comprehensive and beginner-friendly violin tutorial I've ever watched so far! ^^ Hands down to you, Alison, for the tips~~
Felt a tiny bit silly doing it but I managed it fairly quickly. My first tune ever, woohoo! :D Thank you!
Doesnt matter, as long as you are learning and playing! Your first step to playing the violin - woohoo!

Hey,
how did it go?
Hands down you are the best instructor in the universe! You made this so simple! Thank you!
Aaaah omg I got a violin 2 years ago and gave up because I wasn’t able to learn ANYTHING and w this video I finally got to play my first song
You are a good teacher! I just got my violin. I am going to start this lesson, as soon as I figure out how to tune my violin 😀🤭 Thank you for these lessons!
Thank you so much! Got my violin 3 days ago and your videos are really helping! I plan on getting a teacher but I don't want my violin to just sit around while I wait find one. Your super easy to follow and I love how you break down each step!
Imma now play 40hrs a day GoodLuck Ling Ling
TwoSet fans everywhere
hi
I have a bucket list of learning how to play as many musical instruments i can :-D so far i can play Guitar Uke Sax Clarinet piano keyboard drums.. I got my very first Violin today :-D that was super easy :-D thank you a million for this quick intro :-D looking forward to progressing this beautiful skill :-D
thank you so much for the great lesson. My younger brother has a violin. But he never gives it me. So when he is not at home, I steal his violin and learn to play it from you.!
hope you get one to
Yeah
I can relate but with a different family member.
Don't do that. If I found out one of my siblings did that, I'd be pissed off. You never touch someone else's instrument without permission.
@@Murcielag0scuro so true lol my most prized possession is my violin haha.
I am sure my little girl would be learning a lot from your videos. Thank you so much.
I play the piano and the recorder. My brother is about buy me a violin by the end of the month. I'm super excited and scared as well! Wish me luck!
I got a violin today!!! I knew you way back but didnt know I havent subscribed to you yet! Thank you madame!!
For Christmas, I got a violin, I haven’t been really practicing because I got pretty busy until now, now I am trying out this video! So thank you for helping me learn some stuff!
BEFORE ANYONE ELSE comments about how I'm 'talking too much' in this video....please bear in mind that this video is SUPER OLD now as I made it right back when I first started this channel with poor equipment and editing skills and didnt think my channel would now have over 400k subscribers in 2018!
My videos are now so much better with pro video and audio equipment, better editing, faster, slicker and to the point...😀
Even this video is more better than other violinist channels' video
Ok, so I guess you
learned which is your “index finger” finally.
The Online Piano & Violin Tutor ok
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I played in elementary school and have often thought about learning again. At 55 years old after hearing a concert while on holiday in Vienna last week i decided it was time. I ordered a starter violin (thanks Amazon) and just opened it this evening. I am so happy I found your videos! You're adorable and SO NICE to make these videos for us! XO
Can u plz send me a link to a super easy Mr sand man like how twinkle twinkle Lil star was its cuz I just really want to play it but I'm still learning how to read music so I need something easy like the twinkle version but it needs to be the song Mr sandman plzzzzzz
I want to say thank you! I bought myself a violin for Christmas. Never played an instrument in my life. But after spending hours tuning it, I was able to "play" Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Not nearly perfect, but it was fun! I will sign up for your 1-30 lessons course. Thank you! 💖 🎻
I haven't played violin since 1982 and I just bought a new violin.🎻 ❤
I appreciate this video 📹 ❤️
this helps a lot bc my child is playing the violin and she is only 8 and after I showed her the vid she has got a lot better.
I'm 10 and I'm learning on how to play the violin 😊
Keep it up that’s a great age to start..
Hiii 12y old lazy beginner here,
I love your videos so much! Im learning very quickly with them ♥️ Greetings from Brazil!
I love your accent it is lovely.......Also your videos are inspiring many people including myself. Thanks for teaching/guiding the world of the knowledge you have learned throughout the years. Have a great weekend!! :)
thanks, you too.
The Online Piano and Violin Tutor Amazon doesn't ship from where I'm from do you have a printable of that Don'tFret Sticker? or do you know the exact measurements?
Avalonian Principles use sound
Thank you for the great video on getting started on the violin. I already play mandolin and guitar, and just bought a violin to learn to play, as I always admired the fiddlers. Your instructions were very clear and to the point on all the important points, how to hold the bow properly, how to hold and position the violin correctly. Great job!
I'm 50yrs old and I'm kinda interested in learning how to play violin. I have my own keyboard and guitar and I can play them both. There's something that wants me to play violin and I'm kinda serious thinking about it. Your video is very encouraging and I thank you for it.🎹🎸
That's pretty impressive.. I bought the violin like an hour back.. Made my own Fret finger placement and was able to do the twinkle twinkle in about 10 mins. Probably because I know the notes in a base and piano.. But this was quite a lot of fun :) Thankyou
Need to learn violin specially this quarantine time.
Gosh mee too!! Have gad a violin for almost 8years and got busy 😣😥
I’ve had mine for like a year and I was like “yo, time to go”
@@Sofia-wx2ht kai ik
Hey guys 3 years later..time passes soo fast , btw did u successfully learned playing a violin 🎻..?
As some one who only just got a Violin and is trying to learn as an adult after taking piano lessons as a kid this is so fantastic to help me feel confident and more hopeful going forward. Thank you for this and for all your other videos that I look forwrad to watching as I go forward
after seeing a girl in my church play beautifully i wanted to learn and this video helped so much
Thank you thank you so much for this tutorial. This is the best so far after an hour searching on youtube. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nathalie Schwai thanks :)
I have experience playing Violin from Band Class in High School. Never hurts to have a refresher on the technique to playing one. In fact, my experience doesn't stop at the Violin, I have also played the Viola and Cello. I even have my own personal Violin I got from my Dad who knew I was playing at the time.
I love your lessons! :)
Me too
Yes
This is a super violin class thank you very much I'm waiting for my violin to come - so excited :)
Wow Thank You so much. What a lesson. We will be sharing this lesson with my rural school in Nongoma our Great Zulu King Loves music.
This is exactly what I have been looking for, thank you for your tour of the violin, holding techniques and intro to the strings. This is the best
One of the best short violin lessons on UA-cam. Easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you so much, I’m just a teenager but I’ve wanted to learn violin for so long and I just recently got one. I played my first song in 1hour of getting the violin! I can’t believe it! I’m working towards being able to play my favorite soundtracks from my favorite video game. My last comment was a few weeks ago, and I got that string fixed.
when I play the Violin it shows my double chins LMAO 😂😂😂😂
I don't play but I held one at the music shop to show my sister that I was at the music shop and wow I didn't send the photo
Departed One,
Oh, dear!! How do you EVER decide which chin to hold the rest under??
@@j.d.schultzsr.9215 OMG I thought the same thing!!
My favorite part.
And I thought I'm the only one! 🤣
Thank you so much! I just started yesterday (techniques and posture mostly) I listened to this today and played this song in under 10 mins. The printout helped a lot. Thanks a bunch!
Hello! Thank you so much for your content. I'm 25 from Oklahoma. Bought an outfit from Fiddlershop last week, and after much reading studying researching up on what the heck I should do to start, today was the first day I've ever picked up a violin, and the first time I (somewhat nicely) played a tune!!! I was so excited to see this video, and even more excited to discover I've got the perfect stepping stones laid out before me right here to learn how to play violin!
I got it and I don't have a violin
Um okay
😂
I just got one haha
cookieaburto gaming and other videos Me: ha I can buy one
(sees price online) OHHH MY GAWD
HAHAHA😂
You’re a really good teacher. Thank you for this and the other lessons 💕 it’s saving me for quarantine
Thanks so much for this video! I started learning the violin 12 yrs ago but didnt progress after a few months (my violin was washed away by a flood). And i now have a renewed passion for it and this really helped me! 😊👍❤
Why does it seem so easy ??? 😍
Great tutors are those who simplify things ❤️
Actually my dream when I was little was to become a musician for some reason I chose to be something else but now I’m thinking about buying a violin and have fun with it and this tutorial is just so amazing. Thank you so much ❤️ you’re absolutely the best 😚
Loved it! Never touched a violin before (intermediate guitar player), and I was playing "Twinkle Twinkle", albeit not perfectly, in 15 minutes!
I've been playing guitar for 13 years now. Wanted to learn the violin for quite a while, I hope my experience as a guitarist will make it a little easier !
Wait, Twinkle Twinkle Little star is composed by Mozart. So you did teach them Mozart!
Yes, yes i did lol :)
I was looking for this response before I doubled it up! Lol
Mikasa best girl
Then you realize Mozart wrote that when he was 3 or 4.
It was a French folk song. He did variations on it when he was 25 not 3 or 4
Hi Everyone, this video is just a bit of fun and aims at teaching you the very basics to just get you going with your new violin.
It it not meant as a one-stop-teaching-shop of course, but enough to wet your whistle as it were, so you can see whether the violin is something you want to pursue.

My daughter is about to start at school and I’m thinking of picking it up. I’m 38 and I am ripe for a new hobby anyway.
Will be really nice sharing the learning experience with her. Can’t wait for her to get excited about learning this one 😁
Will be checking out your videos a lot as think.
Hi
So my question, what is the resin for and do I need to use before even playing?
@Selina Berko I just went to the dollar store and got price sticker dots (like yard sale stickers) and cut them down.
You weren't kidding. Only took 1 hour to learn. I've started my violin training with a lot of confidence thanks to you.
Thanks for these videos I don’t have my violin yet I ordered mine from Amazon it’s coming in on Friday I’ve been dreaming of the violin for a long time
I’ve never played the violin, I’ve wanted to since I was about 8, I’m 11 and it’s almost my birthday, and my grandma is hypothetically speaking about it. But, because of COVID-19, and we can’t really afford a teacher, I’m watching this and then I’m gonna rewatch it one day if I get a violin!
Honestly trying to learn a violin e/o a teacher is hard. I’ve had the violin ever since I was 6 (didn’t know what they were called at the time but I saw them on cartoons and wanted one 💀) I’m 12 now and Im still not very good since I didn’t have teacher (well it’s one of the reasons) but it’s not impossible. When you get your violin, please take care of it. I’ll be rooting for you!!
I meant w/o not e/o
Me doing this on my ukulele: 😺😺😺😺😺
Thank you for the lesson. It was helpful especially for beginners. Have a great day. God bless you! (Remember to check out your Bible)
There are 2 'Stars' to your presentation here: One of them, of course, is 'Twinkling' .. and the other is yoU! who is absolutely brilliant!! ... what a wonderful teacher you are!!! I've had fun learning some guitar thru youTube vid's .. generally with acceptable if still mediocre results, but i must say that you, ma'am embody the qualities of 'total master teacher'.. Thank you!!
I'll be back after my violin arrives!!
65 and going to learn an instrument AT LAST
Cheryl Lorraine
how is it going?
Cheryl, iI am sculptor and started at 65 too!!!!
How’d it go?
May u live longer
I just bought my daughter and myself one. I've played stringed instruments for 24 years and always wanted to give one a try. I'm stoked to learn!!!
I wish I have Kaori’s confidence when she says she wants to play violin :((
SROP DONT REMIND ME
salma agreste right sorry :x
dw, learning the violin can boost your confidence too!
Thank you so much!! You motivate me to learn violin...
I went out and bought a mini violin & I want to be an expert within this ONE hour! 😁😁😁 perfection!
I tried it out. sounds like twinkle twinkle little star had gone through a small meteor shower. I'll improve with time I'm sure :-)
my brain just had a heart attack lol it sounds so complicated but im determined!
Never give up on your dreams ok krish lius
Hhhhhhhhhhh,😣😀😀😀😀😂
Good luck, my dude! I am trying to convince my parents to buy me one, even if it means using my own money! :D
It's called a seisure
04/01/2022! I have got an early birthday present off my brother, my 58th birthday is on the 7th January. My first violin! After 30 minutes of watching this video we were both able to play our first tune. I will be a avid watcher. Thanks for sharing your experience and allowing me to feel accomplished.
Don’t give up guys! Your violin may not sound similar to the instructors, but with Rosin and pulling rather that pressing down hard on those strings, with a little patience you’ll realize that not all brands of violins sound alike either.
