[@LittleLofiStories]

That made me laugh.

[@bethbrown365]

I love that you haven't just re-recorded when you make mistakes

[@dmswan3172]

You are making amazing progress - keep at it!

[@henridecamps8036]

Super vidéo ! Je débute et ça donne envie de progresser aussi vite que toi... Merci pour l'histogramme que tu as posté sur le temps passé à pratiquer sur les 2 premières années, ça donne un bon repère pour se fixer des objectifs.

[@thinkomancer8726]

I've noticed a tendency to overtighten your bow. (the hair should be a little relaxed/not completely straight -was getting better as you progressed though). your violin is in tune that's really good. and one little thing about the left hand, don't grip the neck like you're trying to keep it from falling. your shoulder is supposed to provide the most support to the violin. a tight grip on the left hand will make it hard to shift. different strings have different angle brackets when bowing. one will get used to it with time but don't neglect its importance.

[@foreverlearning8926]

Thanks for the advices 🤗. Yes, I have a hard time with my left hand. And since I don't have a teacher right now, it's not getting better. I do hope one day to do vibrato and that will never happen if I keep my hand like this 🙁

[@sushmajois7755]

Your bow hairs are too tight! Loosen it a bit. The bow should be slightly bent in upper middle part. Overtightening the bow can break it soon. Take care of it.

[@deisepriscila]

I noticed that your bow is above the fingerboard, it needs to be between the bridge and the fingerboard, this will make the sound more even. Very nice your progress, I am also a beginner adult.

[@gokkuXD]

To be honest I am discouraged studying my violin. I startest May 30, and now I am in two months. I do not have a teacher. But this video take me courage to continue. Thank you for uploading.

[@foreverlearning8926]

it's even more difficult without a teacher. Since lockdown (in march) I almost didn't practiced and had no teacher so it's hard to pick up the violin and put a routine again to play everyday... Good luck to you !

[@manjiramazumdar7183]

These videos are very inspiring. I've made progress video of the ukulele in the first 30 days. Check it out if possible. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3WtZKVsp7-Mars

[@rizkalailiyatul737]

very good. btw what kind of violin do you wear and what size?

[@gokkuXD]

@@rizkalailiyatul737 4/4 is the great size for adult. Bachendorff is the violin i used.

[@rizkalailiyatul737]

@@gokkuXD ok tq 😁

[@dorkaswicksco]

Great progress! I think Ode to Joy was the first song I learned too, like many of us lol. I'm also an adult beginner. It's difficult making time to practice throughout the week given responsibilities but the progress is so rewarding.

[@sanmitchatterjee3970]

Indeed. I am an adult lerner as well, started playing at 32. It has been a few months, and was curious to know how does someone play in their sixth month. Yes, when the bow and finger produce a note in its proper intonation, that indeed is very rewarding.

[@traditionalirishmusic9550]

finally an honest learning video, well done great progress, usually people onyou tube are playing with vibrato in fifth position after six months, and others believe them and are then put off the instrument when they cant do the same, much better being honest like yourself, its a long hard journey and impossible to rush.

[@KaterinaChatzinikolau]

Great progress! You have a big talent 😊

[@danabellefeuille8485]

awesome job,,, really a great job,, keep it up.

[@MyViolinJourney]

You are doing amazing!

[@Zxouf873]

Awesome progress 🌹i know how hard it is.. I'm an adult begginer myself, 31 now.

[@RunaSaeunn]

Me too!

[@88Enigma88.]

Me too! I haven't started practicing yet I'm nervous because i have arthritis and some other conditions but I'm so excited!! 😀

[@djcaddypoarta6]

you did well, congrats !

[@Florencethomas405]

can tell youve been working hard. soon about to start grade 4 😂😂 hard work. hours and hours of endless dedication. lol.

[@tiffanydriscoll8970]

Pretty sure i hearf star wars song. Awesome. Keep it up. I am waiting for my first violin to show up 32 and have a few things to nock of my bucket list. This is one of um. Keep practicing. :-)

[@manitascruzingridninivet5607]

Hey! I liked a lot your video, it gives me hope because i want to buy a violín and i feel like is very harder, maybe it is but watching your progress made me feel motivated. Also please forgive if i dont write very well in english, im from México!

[@liam_er]

Same! I want to buy a cheap one because I’ve been interested in violin lately, (I’m already doing percussion) and I think I’ll buy one soon!

[@reasheb.7429]

I was just like that at the beginning too!

[@matteoamistoso834]

Im on my 5th month now wish me luck to my violin journey i will post more videos soon! Btw great job❤️❤️

[@MangAiren]

Awesome progress video!!!! You should introduce the metronome into your daily practice, its a wonderful tool!

[@danabellefeuille8485]

plus keep bow closer to the bridge. but u are doing amazing well.

[@lucas88dejaneiro]

Good job! I have learnt piano for over an year, now almost 5 months saxophone!!

[@shaggy85021]

Very impressive! Thanks for sharing!

[@red4life848]

Nice gives inspiration

[@lewisbarnhart6698]

Awesome.

[@road2acoustic99]

Yeah !!! You can be proud of you ! However, you need to try to keep your left hand more straight as possible without any tense between the thumb and the neck because your left hand often collapse. Keep it and thumb up !

[@fryderykfranciszekchopin5716]

Good Job!

[@rzlnie]

Hi, I am the same age as you. For a long time, I want to finish my piano study. You are very impressive. I decide to study piano tomorrow.

[@foreverlearning8926]

Good Luck to you and have fun !! I hope I'll find back some motivation to continue violin too. I'm kind of in a slump right now

[@nunyebizniz]

I’d like to know how the first week she had all the fingerings memorized and doesn’t look at the fingerboard once…. As a beginner, unless you’re a prodigy, you don’t know every note. I’m not too sure about this one.

[@AmandaViolinGirl]

I also started violin as an adult. Looks like you started 2.5 months before me. Had you played any instrument before you started violin? I was 48 when I started. I had played some other instruments so I could read music. I had a vague idea what I was in for when I got my first violin because I knew that there was no frets on a violin and I had played a guitar for a short time so knew the higher up the fingerboard the length between the notes were shorter and intonation was not going to be easy and I am left handed but I play like right handed do so bowing would be difficult. I am now learning some pieces for my grade 3 violin exam that I hope to do in the near future.

[@ragibnoortonmoy6390]

Please tell me just one thing how do I stop bow bouncing....

[@foreverlearning8926]

Not a pro, so can't really say... I dont press a lot my bow on the string so I dont get too much bouncing... But I know it's not a good thing to do (I should press more on the string). Good luck to you :)

[@AGUNGKAYA]

I am afraid of strings break and hurt my eyes when I want to start learning. Is that possible?

[@sumitkrishnia4908]

Watching your video in 2022

[@AaBb-sn3ji]

Which violin are you using! Amazing progress! Gives me hope

[@foreverlearning8926]

Thanks :) It's a violin that i rented in a music renting shop and then I bought it after some months using it. It doesnt have any brand.

[@djcaddypoarta6]

i wanna learn drunken sailor on piano ... early in the morning

[@justinsamuel6793]

Did u go for any kind of coaching or is it a self study

[@foreverlearning8926]

I had a teacher the first year with 1 hour to 4 hours per months (depending on schedule. Most of the time 2hours/months) and played everyday ~30min to 1h30

[@julieannmarie4875]

Are you reading the notes?

[@AmandaViolinGirl]

Did you have a teacher? I started first 5 weeks without a teacher. Am going to a teacher now once a week for half hour lessons.

[@张璐-m6i]

hi sometimes maybe you should concern about your left hand‘ gesture.

[@refaaalam8800]

May i know the name/model of your violim that you are using. Thnx in advance

[@foreverlearning8926]

It is a good Chinese violin without any brand or name that has been reviewed by a French luthier. I don't have any more information I rented it in a music rental shop. It is valued ~ 1000€

[@refaaalam8800]

@@foreverlearning8926 shitt its a lot of money :'(. Can u plz suggest some brands which is affordable, user friendly and sounds Beautifull. Within the range of 100 to 200 buck.. Thnx for your kind reply..

[@foreverlearning8926]

@@refaaalam8800 it's a lot of money, that's why I didn't bought it but rent it at first (~20€ / month) the best is to find a music renting place or a luthier that rent violin it's the cheapest. If you really want to buy one you can look up 'what to look for when buying a violin' video from 'the online piano & violin tutor' channel. She has a lot of good cheap violin in her description (stentor II 1500 at 180$ or cecilio cvn 300 at same price) look up her video description she has links to the violin and to her reviews

After 6 month, the bow is still sliding. You need to change your teacher

[@xxmoomooxx2123]

I am in my first week and I am just practicing my open strings , bowing , and first finger.... Am I going too slow ?

[@foreverlearning8926]

No ! Don't worry it's not slow, take your time. The first week I was on holiday so I had lot of free time and practiced 4 hours just the first 2 days with bowing and open strings. The first week I practiced almost 8 hours. 11 hours the second week. I was really dedicated to learn but had the chance to have a lot of free time to do so.

[@xxmoomooxx2123]

How much hours you practiced in a week

[@foreverlearning8926]

Depends a lot. The first year at first it was +7h per week but sometime only 2 hours. Second Year I spent sometime full weeks/month without playing. I tracked all the time I played on excel and have here imgur.com/a/kAfm3pE a graph with all the time spent playing the violin per week for the first 2 years
