hello everyone, thanks for tuning in. Thanks for your kind and encouraging comments and and it means a lot to me. 📍UPDATE: One-year progress: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4OwZpSge7Bgbpo Just an update on my violin-learning journey, I've found myself a violin teacher in late May (on around Day 260), so I am currently not self-teaching anymore. Also I wanted to say, I started to learn the violin by self-teaching not because I wanted to but because I could not financially afford a violin teacher (I was a student when I started). I made this video NOT to prove that violin can be learnt by self-teaching !

Great job! For several years I taught myself violin as well. In 2019, I sought out lessons with a teacher, after about a year of barely touching my violin due to depression.

Hello thanks ! Actually I want to find a teacher but I have to find a job for me firstly 😅 Good luck with your violin journey!

Great progress, it's nice to see your tone improve as the months went by! I posted my 3 years progression recently and it's nice to see other adult beginner's journeys 😁👏🎻

hello Peter, thanks for your comment ! I just went to your homepage and watched your progress video. I have to say your tone is way much better than me in the first several months 👍

@peterquanmusic 6 ай бұрын

Thank you so much! I had a slight advantage as I've had years of piano knowledge before hand which really helped my violin playing. You're doing extremely well and I hope you keep up your wonderful journey. Looking forward to more videos from you, subbed! ⭐

LESSGGGOOOOOO. This is so good. I resonate with this so much because I've been playing guitar for about 8 years now (not self taught), but I wanted to go through the learning experience again, so I bought myself a lefty guitar and started self learning. Still on day 42, but its nice to see people on the grind likewise.

I havent watched the video yet but I saw “self-taught” and “violinist” in the title and I just wanted to warn you- Violin is extremely frustrating to learn even WITH a teacher. Of course, it depends on how serious you want to take it, but as Tobias Murphy says: theres no pleasure in mediocrity. I highly recommend getting a skilled teacher that can correct form and technique to protect you from unnecessary tension and pain which is almost inevitable when self teaching this extremely nuanced instrument. If you still want to self teach yourself, you should try to spend a lot of time researching proper technique. I recommend Grigory Kalinovsky, Murphy Music Academy (Tobias Murphy), and Daniel Kurganov on youtube for guidance. Best of luck!

Totally agree 💯

hello thanks for your comment ! I agree with what you said but I share this video NOT to mean that I want or I am able to learn the violin by myself. I didn't want to give up this interest because I didn't have a teacher (I was a student without income when I started) Luckily now I am learning from a violin teacher and I'll keep going !

Thanks 🥰 Yes, I do agree that having a teacher would be better. But it is financially difficult for me to hire a teacher 🥲. I will find a teacher as long as I can.

I think you have placed the sticker for the 4th finger a little higher... That's why your third position sounds out of tune... Please check with a tuner. Also try to curve your right pinky on the bow. Great progress👏👏. Keep it up!

@Claire-wonderfulland 6 ай бұрын

Hi thanks ! I had some problems with my first violin. I checked with a tuner but still it sounded out of tune. But I changed to a new violin in the 4th month. I think it is better. For the bow hand, yes my pinky was straight all the time but I changed it in the 3rd or 4th month.

Hmm how about checking the tempo with metronome help? :) It works wonderful to me as a beginner playing strings in her 30's :) 加油！ Dee

Hello thanks for your comment. Yes I am right now practicing pieces with metronome for sometime to be in tempo. 谢谢你！

@@Claire-wonderfulland Very glad to hear, keep on going! 但是.. 我覺得您是否經常感到焦慮、緊張或精神緊繃? Because it's right there when you draw the strings. It seems to me you feel anxious and unsure 😔 My previous teacher would recommend practicing open strings as a daily warm-up and distribute the weight of the bow evenly to make an even sound. Attack the note with more confidence as if you were singing!!

@zahirfarzay2129 Ай бұрын

I’m struggling to hold a bow properly. I can’t hold it with bend pinky as I had a long nail (I can’t cut it as it’s connected to a thin layer of flesh) what to do😵‍💫

@Claire-wonderfulland Ай бұрын

hello, sorry I don't know how to anwser this question. Maybe you can pose this question to violin teachers who have posted videos about bow holding. I hope they will anwser your question ! Good luck !

@ImogenValkyrie 2 ай бұрын

you really need to get a good foundation (fingers placement and accurateness) in the first position first before trying other positions.

@@Claire-wonderfulland This is because I'm pretty sure your strings were basically 1 octave too low 😆. Anyways pretty good progress in 6 months but you're trying to learn third position too fast, you should practice to make your fingers in tune in the first position before getting more complex.
