Hey everyone, I'd love to hear what other topics you'd like me to cover in these vlogs! Please let me know what else you'd like to see! 😄
Certain techniques that are completely different in practice! (Such as thinking in a high bpm song “push the rhythm/beat” but to actually slow down more than your brain thinks)
Can your address unintended bow bouncing on the string. I seem to have this occasionally, but only when bowing in the downstroke.
I would love tips on how to position your head, bowing, and how to make the warbly sound you make when you shake your hand while holding a string down!
And how to memorize where notes are other than using a note guide... 😊
teach vibratto, a video about it would be amazing, because it's a very difficult technique and a lot of people have difficulty
i had made the decision back in elementary school to play violin but my dad said "we have a trumpet, you can learn trumpet" lol i quit trumpet a few years later , but still after all this time would love to learn violin! great advice!
Go for it. I also wanted to play violin in grade school but was told no, you need to play a band instrument, so I wanted to play flute. Not sure why that didn't fly either and wound up playing clarinet thru freshman year. I've always loved the violin. So I started at about age 60. I'm so glad I didn't think I was too old. I love it and enjoy playing just for my own enjoyment - when no one else is around to listen to me practice!
Dooo ittt!!!
When I was around 20, I decided it’s a really good time to start playing violin😆
After 1 year with a teacher I could play some simple songs and the feeling was amazing! So if you ever wanted to play, it doesn’t matter how old are you, you can still have a lot of fun! 🙂
Now I focus on playing the piano and creating yt piano tutorial videos but violin will always be one of my most favorite instruments.
that actually help me a lot thanks
My partner started the violin a couple of years ago at age 28 :) still going and loves learning! He's working towards grade 4 (UK) at the moment - found it very comical turning up to his grade 1, 2, 3 exams with all these primary aged kids :D
@@radishraccoon3657 good for him! I remember my teacher gave me some pieces from 1-3 grades for practicing and it was such a weird feeling to struggle with a song that 8 year old kid could play 😛
Nevertheless, I enjoyed it a lot🙂
I started at 22, 2 years ago, and I am playing long songs now. Nothing too fancy, but I love the feeling
I’m thirteen and a huge fan of yours! I practiced two years to play “ he’s a pirate “ (your version). I can play it now and it sounds pretty good! I started when I was six and discovered you when I was 9. I love you so much and I hope you will make videos for as long as possible. Thank you for your great music and personality!
I've been playing for 7 years and this video was helpful even for me. Thanks for the tips!❤❤
Thanks Susanna! I'm glad you still found it helpful! I feel like all of these tips are things that I personally still need to remind myself to pay attention to even at this point!
I had every problem you said, bad set up, bad balanced bow, so hard to work with always trembling, fancy collection of shoulder rests 🙈 it did not stop me from playing violin. I was quite lucky my neighbours did not kill me 🎻🎶😁 Some years ago I moved to Vienna, got a better Job and could afford to buy a good violin. I have a very supporting teacher now and make really good progress. I am 56 years now, so never give up 💃🎻😊 Thank you so much for this Video, this is really good advice, I enjoy very much listen to you playing, much love from Austria 🥰🎻❤❤❤
I'm learning violin myself. This definitely makes helps out. Thank you Taylor!
I just made the decision to learn from tomorrow… and you drop this video 😳
Wow this video just helped me sooooo much! Thank you so much Taylor!!!!
Much love ❤️❤️❤️
Oh wow, what timing! That's so exciting to hear, I hope you have fun with it Jonathan! 😊
Crazy to think I've been watching your content since 2012. Thank you for the amazing videos.
Wow thank you so much for being here for so long! 😄
@@taylordavisviolin Your welcome. It was your zelda videos that got me into your channel as that is my favorite series of all time, next with final fantasy.
I have started a year ago and your vlogs really help with some advice and keep my motivation up! Thank you!!
Oh wow thanks for sharing that, it definitely makes me happy to hear!
This was a really useful video that I will go back to often!
I bought a violin for Christmas around my final year of high school, and I am out of practice, but some of these tips I didn’t even know about!
This is great!! I really appreciate this info - especially filming yourself playing as you notice a lot you don’t want to see haha
I just wanna say I’m An over the road truck driver, I teach guitar and I bought a violin because I love the song so much. I’m well advanced in guitar but I must tell you it is a complete reality check and slap in the face when it comes to the beauty And complexity of the violin. Today is my first day and I don’t plan on stopping lol You’re finally someone that I could find harmony with and I love the way that you teach… you’re beautiful, inspiring and easy to understand and I can’t wait to find out what the future holds because I found your subscription. I just wanted to say thank you and God bless :)
Good video, it has helped me a lot since I am just starting to practice the fiddle, I like all your covers, especially the Chrono trigger theme, I hope one day I can play like you, thanks :)
I'm an older self taught student of two years with some background on other instruments. Violin is beautiful but very difficult to master. Some hints like bowing technique and how to better my intonation. And of course - Vibrato, vibrato, vibrato! You make everything look so easy. Show us how with more tips. Love your channel and music. Jim
lt was a very informative video.
This benefits everyone. Thanks...❤️
I have been practicing the violin for nearly three years. During this period, I have paid attention to you and your music. Many of the pieces are my favorite pieces. I also appreciate your playing style. I also bought your score collection to practice. It has become a benchmark for the growth and improvement of my violin level! I hope I can play my favorite song on youtube someday in the future!
i found your music nearly 9 years ago, when your song Nebulous came up in my recommended feed! i started learning violin later that year. even though i've been playing since then, these tips are still so helpful! thank you for being such a positive influence and inspiration 💕
I don't even play the violin, yet here I am watching this. Love your videos :).
Aww thank you! I'm trying to make my violin vlogs fun for those of you who don't play the violin as well, so I appreciate it! 😊
Thank you so much for your advice
Great Advice from a Very Skilled Craftsman Master! Thank You ~ Peace & Health
I just started playing a few weeks ago and am working on your version of “My heart will go on”! It is a lot of fun, but very difficult. I love your music! Thank you! ❤️
Awesome thanks Taylor I really enjoyed this video very much I have a new violin 🎻yesterday
Thank you so much for this video! I started violin in 2nd grade, and I kept going even though I was sort of losing interest in doing it. Then I started watching your videos and my passion got fired up again. Thank you Taylor!
Thanks Taylor!
Thank you so much, Taylor! This was super helpful!
really awesome... 👍🏽 love the way you explain
So great Taylor ❤❤❤❤
Really love your videos!! 🥰🥰
Great tips Taylor so kind of you to take time to verbalize these things
Thank you for your very helpful video ma'am Taylor it really helped me a lot as a beginner. Blessings ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks very much for this beautiful video! I'm starting to play the violin, and I really think your trips for play it, it will be very helpful...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You make it look easy!!!
I don't even play the violin but i watch all your videos, i love your videos so much and i love your beautiful smile. In fact the main reason I watch your videos is your beautiful Smile 💜
I love you so much Taylor and Stay Safe ❤❤
I played the violin when I was a kid. I loved it! But unfortunately I hated carting it around on the bus. So I gave it up. I'm now 50 and my husband mentioned I should take it back up. I have never been able to get the violin out of my head! So I am now looking into purchasing a violin. I'm extremely excited, but I am concerned because I have major neck issues! I enjoy watching your videos and listening to your advice! I love listening to you play! Your music is beautiful! Cheers!!
I'm just starting out, as an adult, so I'm glad this video exists :) thank you!
Hope my daughter will like violin more and more as she grow up. For now as a 6-year-old she doesn’t seem to have too much motivation even after taking lessons for 3 years.
Never force a child to play or practice. Trust in the Lord. Let them be kids
@@vickibaker8372 You are right.
I'm planning on learning the violin. Gonna purchase one real soon.
Love your vids❤️
Please never stop doing what you’re doing
Much love from Sweden🇸🇪❤️
this is INSANELY HELPFUL as a beginner
I also like your cheerful way about you!! ❤️😃🙏😀
Been playing the violin since 6th grade (don't ask...it's been a while :D). Put it down for years because I never felt like I was that great at it. Eventually, I realized that it didn't matter whether I was good or not, what mattered was whether I enjoyed it or not, so I picked it back up and primarily just play for my own enjoyment and occasionally do a special musical number in church. I always enjoy videos like these. For the most part, they are review, but the reminder to "relax" is always hugely helpful. Thanks for the video Taylor.
BTW - The one thing that I wish I had been taught when I was younger is that you hold the violin with your chin and shoulder, not with your hand. You support with your hand, but if you are holding (gripping) with your hand, it makes it very difficult to vibrato. It's a small thing that I think a lot of instructors take for granted.
Great video. I think I get very tensed up sometimes, which is probably why some days I play well and others I can’t seem to get it right.
I love music theory, but others don’t seem to like it. I want to try and write music some day.
You always give very good very practical advice. Took your advice and invested in a more expensive violin and already I'm struggling a lot less. I'd appreciate a video on how to hold the bow properly as well as keeping the bow straight. There's not a very big space between the frog and the winding in my bow which makes it uncomfortable. My cheaper bow had a bigger space so the thumb finger felt more comfortable there. Any advice?
I’m also amassing a collection of shoulder rests myself. I found that with my acoustic violin, my Wolf Primo is the best option, while my electric 5-string violin is heavy and is most comfortable with an Everest shoulder rest.
I’m still acclimating to playing the violin.
I’m looking to videos like this and others on UA-cam for help as a self-learner. Thank you for your advice! It is greatly appreciated!
(PS: I would love a violin teacher to help me in person, but at this time I’m on a 14-16 hour workday and I practice violin at night on my dinner break, when it is quiet. When the summer is here, and I’m back a normal 8-hour day again, I will be paying a local music school for lessons.)
I never got a violin before, but if I do get one, thanks for the tips!
I know this video is for beginners, and that I have been playing for what will be 12 years, but sometimes it's nice to hear someone else's opinion, haha. Also, on credible violins, when I first began, my mother was sold a violin that was so poorly set up that one of the best luthiers around was incapable of fixing it. We just had to start over, which was very upsetting but helped so much.
I still struggle with having a death grip with my left hand. Working on it though.
Hi Taylor happy birthday wish you the best God bless so beautiful
The thumbnail 🤣🤣 I love it!
Take care Taylor!
Haha thank you Julien!
I’m 66 and started 4 yrs ago. I’m doing pretty good! ❤️😃🙏👏😎
Hey Tylor. I were thinking... Where are you taking your sounds-sheet-music(😅)?? And can you do the sound "stardust"??❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗💞
Beautiful ❤️🌹🥰👍
hello, could you do a cover of the main theme of transporter 2? thank you and much success
Are there any practical music theory books that you can recommend for beginners?
Hey, I’m not sure if you’ll see this but I want to start violin but am hesitant for a certain reason. I have a mild disability that affects my right side and I’m not sure wether or not I should take it up.. what would you say I should do?
Hello Taylor grand violino 🎻 Nice beautiful thanck 💯🎻
Thank you.. (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
As my former violin teacher said. It’s always easyer with a smile on youre face.
Can u make also a Video for people who played already a bit longer? It would be nice!
The peg on my E string won't hold the tension, it keeps slipping. I try to tighten it to E but it just slackens off as soon as I stop holding it. Is there anything I can do to to address this or is it a job for a professional?
I don't find it hard playing the violin. I do find it hard to find the right angle to read the sheet music. Not to mention reading the sheet music, with the way that sheet music is is upsidedown for me compared to the notes of the violin. 😅 My improv violin playing sounds good though.
P.S. Is there any alternative written forms for music than the basic clefs? All the black and white tends to blur together for me.

... practice mindfulness meditation - learn violin - profit? Except, you've been meditating so long you forget to care about the profit part.
Play "Empowering Yourself" (dying light 2) Please.

On the topic of proper violin setup, I had a violin student who bought theres from Wish. It was the worst violin i have ever witnessed. The strings were so far away from the finger board and made its so much harder to play. Please dont buy your violin onWish lol
sorry, too much laughing. very distracting.
