    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!

One day, I'll have all these different instruments laying around the house just waiting for me to play them

    • @kevinharrington3292

      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.

    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.

    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 pick up the violin 7 months ago I’m taking an online course with a live professional violinist. Your method simplified a number of things I’m still trying to get ! The bow on the neck at 10 O’Clock was a big help. I never thought of it this way I’m not using those colored stickers but they sure can be a help. The thumb grip on the bow was clearly explained. I always had an issue with that. I’ll look forward to your future videos for beginners !
