Will you be doing all the lessons?I sure hope.So you've been doing helping me out so much❤❤❤

First

Thank you for this course, can't wait for more lessons

You are so hot

hello can someone help me I have made it all the way to until resining the bow part but after I put the resin it doesnt make a good sound its not no sound or a whispering sound but a weird sound not something you expect from a a violin I used a penny to scratch the resin and the bow did became powdery white but it still doesnt make a good sound and the resin made everywhere a powdery mess including the violin also 2 of the strings of the bow got ripped of while resining the bow can someone help me what is the problem here

Either Pirastro Tonica’s hate me or I hate them, it’s too sharp or bright for me and I don’t what strings to get for my violin, I have a solo in December and the song is Arabic and it just doesn’t sound right to me, I do like the e string better than the others. I _hate_ the way the A and D sound and the G is okay but not something that I would say is my favorite, I have a strad copy from 1964

Hi

Very well presented. You said you haven't used a shoulder rest for over 25 years. Are you older than 25? You don't look it at all! I am a newbie to violins and find this tutorial very helpful

Waiting for the next lesson ma… I’m from Nigeria 🇳🇬

🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻💓❤️

So would purchasing a good set of strings and a better bridge,& bow help it sound better? I’m not a millionaire and can’t get an expensive violin.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Very well explained and it's easy to follow along with. I will be "super" thanking you when I get the chance. You are a goddess for doing these tutorials.

🤔maybe an electric violin would be a good choice,as iam currently in a nursing home and looking to get my first violin. I really don’t want to bother anyone near me as I learn how to play it, at the same time I’m looking at an acoustic violin bundle

Thank u so much

Can someone please say what is 3rd note in 3rd excersize? Is that a1?

Thanks to the first tip, I did my first wrist vibrato correctly. Finally I managed. I must say, the hand (some muscles) quite hurt after that, I guess I need to learn using them. Wow.

I neeeeeeed thiiiiiiis

FIRST! Yippee!

Great video and info, but this music in background music is little annoying

🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻❤️

New release, 10 year old comments?

5 months still no vibrato... Someday... Thanks

Yay! A new lesson! Thank you!

You're amazing teacher. Thank you.

Thank you for this lesson! Is it bad to not be bowing straight yet when doing these exercises? I find it a bit hard to focus on bowing straight and hitting the right string.

Once upon a time, I played cello in grade school. I have tried trumpet, guitar, and euphonium without success. I am getting a violin to go back to when I was having fun learning music. Since I have a lot of time due to disabilities, I am eager to become a decent player in record time. I think in 12 or so weeks I can be a decent violin player on the streets of my small town. I base this on when I was a bus driver, I was required to make announcements. The "average" time it took drivers to make announcements was two months. It took me two weeks. Why? I practiced at home for 2 hours per day (1 hour for each set of announcements). The practice was deliberate. What was I going to say when? Do I start with X and end with Y? etc. I used the actual job to perform the practiced routine. I made a lot of mistakes during the course of a 10 hour day (40 total announcements). Even with the mistakes I knew I was making, I continued to do what I practiced. Each night, I studied my notes and made changes the next day. I repeated this process until on day 5 of actual driving I realized a) I didn't make any mistakes and b) I got all of the right info into the announcements. At that point, i started adding flair to my routine. Two working days later I was taken out of service and grilled to find out how I "easily mastered" making announcement. My response was that I did not confuse practice with performance. My approach to learning violin will be 2 hours of focused practice in the morning followed by a few hours of performance (playing) in the evening. Take notes and plan for the focus practice in the AM. Rinse and Repeat.

What if a person has never picked up a violin before, would it matter what bow he,she purchase?

I can make them sound equally bad.

Hello I been watching the piano lessons you gave 12 years ago, wow Yes you have aged extremely well haven't you, you tender thing you lol good to see you :)

I PLAYED FROM 5 YEARS OF AGE TO 17 YEARS OF AGE, STOPPED FOR 32 YEARS THEN RESUMED.

Thank you 😊👍

Hello Alison, I'm new player, I'm hoping to get good especially at my beginning ☺️👍

Thank you. This is wonderful to see & to use. I am 100% new to violin. Just Rosin'd my bow. Now I've learnt this step from you to smooth flow of my strumming and next it's learn how to tune my violin. By the way--- how do I know which size my violin is? *Cheers!* from Sir Nicholas In Seattle 9.7.2024

I passed (just) my grade 1 violin exam in 1980 and haven't picked up a violin since.. Is it too late to go back?

❤❤❤❤❤ I have dementia but I love playing the violin. I have been using your book since 2020. It's slow for me to go through but I enjoy watching the videos over and over and over. I've learned some. I'm still learning. I love that thank you so much, Ralph.

Thank u aloot❤❤❤

can i completely silent the acoustic part of the violin and only use the electric violin through the amp?

I've been watching a lot of your videos. Great content.

I began learning to play the violin today. It's going to be a challenge. I play guitar, banjo, and harmonica. But I am self-taught, and I do not know how to read music. I only learned tablature so far. But there's something about the violin that draws me to it. I'm a new subscriber.

Purchased your course 1 minute into your video. I've watched some older videos of yours, then found some Courses from others. Waited. Wasn't sure (adult never played anything before except 2 lessons in guitar). WHAT A BARGAIN OF A COURSE. Looking forward to it. LESS THAN COSE OF 1 PRIVATE LESSON. Can't go wrong with that!! Cheers!!!

Great review on this - thank you! I am in need of 2 violins for my kids and I am leaning towards this very model. I would be buying 2. I will use your affiliate link if I decide to go with this one;) Question, what strings would you recommend upgrading to? I play a bit of guitar so I know that strings make all of the difference in the world. I do not know much about violins/violin strings, however.

It's a big kid-on!

does it worth it or make noticeable difference to pimp this violin up like you did in your other video? or should I leave it as it?

Before the internet, only good violinist teacher can instruct about vibrato. I am 70 years old. I had 2 violin teachers and one viola teacher. Any of them gave me instructions how to do vibrato. For that by my self I began to use all arm vibrato. Anyway, I recommend all teachers to teach how to do it. In spite of the annoying, teachers need to supervise carefully how students are doing vibrato for correct use. Thank you to this violin teacher. I suggest to show all the arm in the screen. Thank you.

You are a fabulous teacher thank you

does the rosin that comes with this violin has good quality?

Great video, Alison! BTW: I learned to play the violin because, unlike the viola and cello, the violin - along with all my other instruments - plays in the treble clef; a music language I already know.

Thank so much for these videos. I hope you realize just how helpful you are. I'm trying to teach myself violin for the time being until I can find an actual (and good:) teacher. I didn't know at all where to start, but I then found your channel and started practicing. You build things up so well step by step and give just the right amount of information at once so it's challenging but not overwhelming. I actually see improvement since I first started, like I don't scratch much anymore, and it's because of your videos. Thank you again. ❤

Learn 1st. Then buy one
