professor julia bushkova should do a book on the violin and be nice for her to get in the strad magazine and do some cd but enjoy her youtube lessons thank
Thank you Julia for the wonderful video. You have given me very valuable information as you answered the questions. Having attended only 8 months violin basic lessons I decided to be self taught, instead. My progress is not too bad the past 2 years, and with your videos I believe it will give me even better progress. Thanks again.
great vidoes. you should produce more of them! very clear and thoughtful. personally, one of the greatest revelations for me was adjusting my bow hold slightly up so that the thumb was no longer touching the frog, but rather was around the middle of the grip. It was like I had been using a club, and now was using a paint brush. it seems that the extra contact point has no real function and actually can hinder flexibility and ease of sound production. (cue the videos of great violinists holding the bow with the thumb wedged deep into the frog :)
Thank you for you for uploading videos, Professor! You are my absolute favorite violin teacher in UA-cam. I'm an adult beginner and your videos are inspiring me to keep practicing and learning no matter what! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the tips- when I pick up my violin, I need to decide if I want to play or practice. If this is a practice session, I take all the sheet music off of my music stand and replace it with the technique books I decided to work on that day. Really helps keep the focus on practicing. It's important to always leave a little time at the end of the practice session to just play for playing sake.
Thanks so much for giving me a specific suggested structure for practice! You're really great at teaching! It's truly very generous of you to help violinists with your videos. I currently can't afford lessons so your videos at least provide a guide for me to progress forward in my skill level. The thing I'm still missing is someone to objectively analyze my method of playing to identify flaws although I now have a large mirror I have been utilizing which helps me compare what I'm actually doing compared to how I am instructed.
Dear Julia. Your videos are really to the point and clear, I love them! Can you please make a video about children learning. How to choose a good teacher. How to know if the child has a potential with violin or maybe it is not their instrument. What should the good teacher concentrate on to give the child good basic skills and not basic habits etc. Большое спасибо за ваши отличные видео.
Ms Bushkova, your videos are a godsend to this old 75 year old student. I don’t use a shoulder rest and struggling to keep the fiddle from slipping when down shifting. Any helpful advice would be appreciated. Also, would you please make a video for Intermediate players like myself to learn Vibrato. My wife is of Russian from Siberia roots. You’re beautiful, too. 🎻👏👏👏
Wonderful teaching! I am a new violin student, just under a year, and an adult. I have played cello before, but this is very different as you know. I have a shaky bow near the frog, and have worked on this with my teacher for what seems like forever. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Practice is better done 300 days a year rather than more than an hour infrequently, piano player Emanuel Ax in an interview said practicing an hour most days was what he did and I agree. It takes a long time, I was a bad piano player for many years of doing 1/2 an hour or more most days before bed, 5 of playing easy one note at a time stuff like Bach, Hayden, Mozart I am surprised with my progress. With consistent directed practice, everything gets easy over time which may be months or years, like mindless two handed playing in piano, I went years of mindful two handed playing were I would make short stops to memorize a plan for the weak hand.
Super teaching teacher I loved your playing of violin I'm slowly coming up only problem in higher position of finger board meeting G major A Major so and so pls help me how to overcome
Thank you! Have you ever met any terms in English which could be translations or analogs for Russian terms: главные ступени тональности, устойчивые ступени, опевание, разрешение?
May i add to your excellent advices one thing, which is often implicitely part of all practicing advices, but seldom (if ever) explicitely mentioned: Prachticing is done by repeating difficult, challenging actions, not only in playing an instrument, we have to do it always in our lifes. But think about it in the opposite direchtion: Every repetition is practicing and when we repeat something tn the wrong way, we practice doing it wrong And, as many teachers say: "Icf you repeat something 100 times wrong, you won't do it after that right, you will just do it better wrong" Sounds reasonable, but - and I think that is very important - this apllies as well to the feeling that a passage is difficult, i.o.w.: If during practiceing we have the feeling, that a passage is difficult, we practice this feeling and it can become almost inpossible to play this piece later on with a feeling of relaxation and confidence. So we shall practice slowly (of course) and with a feeling, that it is easy, no matter how challenging the piece might be. A practiced feeling of difficulty might kill us on stage
Thank you for your valuable assistance. Instead of working through all the various exercises or etudes from Dont, Kreutzer, etc, would it be better to pick out difficult sections of a piece you are trying to play and convert those difficult secions instead to exercises similar to the standard etudes. It seems to me that would kill two birds with one stone and help the performer to internalise and play the piece better.
All difficult spots from the pieces we play are to be treated as "Etudes" as well as various exercises should be made out of them, for the maximum learning benefit - of course! However, those should not REPLACE the etudes simply because we want to utilize the broadest variety of notes and situations and not train only what is being used in the piece. However, if we are speaking of amateur learning, then your suggestion is practical.
You are the best youtuber in this area. Really helpful. Thank you professor.
You are very welcome!
Thank you for the brilliant channel!

You may want to use some sort of shoulder help - a rest or at least a sponge. And I am glad that by now you discovered my Wrist Vibrato video!
Please make video on left hand. Thanks
Thanks...
Great tip on vibarato

Julia any advice for Hungarian Dance 5 by Brahms 16th notes?🙂
How do you know that when you press a particular spot on the violin it is a given note
