I'm a violinist for over 6 years and just by listening to your clear and bright violin sound, I'm able to play by ear and repeat it on my violin. I don't regret clicking into this video, it's fantastic✨🤧

Are you perhaps a fellow Suzuki teacher? Or Suzuki parent? Thanks again for your lovely comments🙏

[@attackofthemosquito6228]

Δούλος Ιησού Χριστού, I couldn't agree more. The performances are so accurate and the sound rich, as well as pleasant. Beautiful interpretation of the pieces. ( Btw, how do you know when to use perispomene? In some cases, I can spend even a whole five minutes thinking which accent is the right one. Despite that, Ancient Greek is an enjoyable subject)

[@MiserableLittleDoomGoblin]

@@attackofthemosquito6228 I am a humble lifelong learner of Ελληνιστική Κοινή who is dependent upon the remarkable resources made available by others. It is my hope to someday be able to read fluently in the language, perhaps after I have learned to speak fluently through the violin. 🙂

[@MiserableLittleDoomGoblin]

@@violingardenacademy I am currently a student with an instructor who includes Suzuki as a part of my curriculum. I have found your videos to be the most helpful to me, both in listening and carefully observing things like contact point, bow speed, bow length, etc. Combining these things with imitating the dynamics present in your playing has offered me wonderful opportunities as a student. There are many Suzuki videos on KZbin. Most are flat, one-dimensional, often colorless. Your playing is vibrant, alive, colorful. I feel as if there is a story being shared with us when you play these pieces. That is a rarity, and something I aspire to imitate.

[@carlosazteca8441]

If Boccherini lived, he would surely be proud of this young artist because her talent and sensitivity give her an indisputable interpretive quality in the execution of the music from this great musician and composer.

@@violingardenacademy OK! NO PROBLEM!

[@LueKiro]

How do you do those trills so well? I suffer to play it even with a slower tempo. You play absolutely beautifully no doubt

[@violingardenacademy]

With lots of practice anything is possible:-). There are many great exercises for trills to keep the fingers relaxed, as the main stumbling block for good trills is that one tenses up while doing it and that slows you down. When you practice trills, see if you can tap the trilling finger once -lightly and as relaxed as you can with a fast movement (as if the string is hot) then stop and do it again. When you can do that well, try tapping twice in the same manner, and then three times etc. Anyway, I wish you all the best for your practice, and remember that all good things take time:-)

Hello ! Why don't you play the appogiatura at the first note of the melody ?

[@violingardenacademy]

Hi there! I play the version that is in the Suzuki books, and that one is without it:-) I do love the sound of having the appogiatura, but usually it is a bit too difficult for beginner violinists at this stage, but it is great to add it later once this piece is an easy review piece! Keep up the good practice, and thank you for watching the Violin Garden channel!

[@pipeklasiczpiano721]

Fantastic! I watched your videos playing minuet 1 2 and 3. My playing with the bow is dificult to me because I move too much my arm.😢

[@violingardenacademy]

I see - that is a normal challenge:-) You can practice playing simple pieces like the Twinkle Variations in the upper half of the bow - which is where you need to use the lower part of your arm. See if you can get your bow to move parallel to the bridge that way, and you will see it will improve very quickly:-) Thanks for reaching out, and you can also find all the Suzuki pieces (currently until Book 5) in slow practice tempo, and those might be even more helpful to you in the beginning phase of learning a new piece🎻💫🦋😊 Wishing you all the very best, and if you havent subscribed yet, pls do so you can get more videos:-)

As fast as you want, but just follow the metronome.

[@JonahMax-tw9ts]

Fast or as slow

[@i3u488]

Depends, if you just started this peice than you should start slow.

[@Som30ne24]

The piece says that your playing should be “Moderato” that means that the metronome must be from 90 to 100. But if you are starting or the piece it’s difficult you could play slow.. nearly 50 or more

@@thearivera926 wow, thats amazing!! Good job! A short pinkie is a common problem amd easy to solve if you do the following: make sure your hand is slightly turned towards the fingerboard so that the fingers are hovering over the strings even when they are not playing. Then swing your left elbow forward a little, appr 2-4 cm (in the direction where you can almost see your elbow below the violin). This way, your arm brings the fourt finger closer to its goal without it having to stretch uncomfortably:-) Let me know how this works for you and all the best for your practice!🎻🌸🦋
