Good Daily Practice Structure

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

There’s a difference between practicing and playing, and we should all do both!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

I agree Nickie! Happy music making!

[@beatrixpendragon]

As an adult learner who can't afford lessons anymore this is valuable input. Thank you so much

[@ajsmusicstudio]

Agreed! Joy gives such great advice. I’ll be incorporating these tips into my practice sessions, too. And if you happen to want more tips, I also created a video about practicing that you might want to check out. Happy practicing! 🎻

Joy you are wonderful. I was a serious violinist as a child until I was about 16 . I studied with Margaret Pardee. I had to stop for personal reasons. 44 years have passed and I am now coming back to it. Any advice?

Hi Ms. Joy. I just bought a violin. I want to watch all of your videos but where should I start as a beginner. I have 0% knowledge about playing this instrument but I want to learn and it is my dream to learn this instrument. Can you please guide me? Thank you!

[@urieluy2025]

Hi there! Congrats on start of your violin journey! Here's a link to a video Joy made on how to hold the violin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJK4ZaGJl75rms0 This is one of the first things we need to learn.

[@urieluy2025]

And here's a link on how to hold the bow. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYCqZJxsZsaBl5Y I hope this helps. :)

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Thank you so much Uri!! :)

[@JoyLeeViolin]

I hope my videos Uri shared are helpful in your journey with the violin. Happy violin playing Chan!

[@Joanili80]

Hello :) After which time of practicing one shouldn't be a beginner anymore? Can you Tell that? I think it would bei interesting to many of us. Thank you for your great videos! 😊

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Hi Joani, it's hard to put an universal time frame for all beginner players, because everyone learns very differently at a different speed. In general when a violinist starts playing the 3rd position, it's a good indication of not being a beginner violinist any more. Generally speaking to be in that level, it would take about 6-24 months. Happy music making!

[@sleverlight]

@@JoyLeeViolin How about how long does it take to get to second position?

[@aunikahuhler5784]

@@sleverlight it depends on how much you practice and improve I’ve been playing for 9 years and got into 2 position three years after starting then 3rd position two years after that.

[@sleverlight]

@@aunikahuhler5784 Hmmm yea makes sense

[@M_SC]

@@aunikahuhler5784that’s shocking, I’ve never hear of learning second position before 3rd

[@sm9846]

Hi Joy , would you please tell me which rosin do you use for your bow ? thank you

Hi Joy, this is Ada...the legally blind student. I'm wondering how often a student has a lesson each week and for how long? I want to learn so badly. I feel that I'm not getting help with technique. I'm on Suzuki book 2 mingon, playing by ear. When should students learn double stops? Thanks so much...i would love to meet you and be your student in person.

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Hi Ada, good to hear from you again! How have you been? If you want to book lessons with me, please send me an email to " [e-mail]". In general having lessons once a week is a good idea to make sure that you are on the right track. When it comes to double stops, it would be better if the student has learned the 3rd position, so that the left hand is trained for more flexible adjustment. Happy music making!

[@kennedyomeile2933]

How do you categorize 'The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba by Handel? And is it good for intermediate level?

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Yes, The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba by Handel is certainly good for intermediate level player and it's also a beautiful piece. Happy music making Kennedy!

[@DivaDeb1234]

My problem is I'm in a class where the music we are doing is much high above my skill level. The entire Mozart 40 Symphony arranged for strings which is always harder and not sounding as good when it's an arrangement plus I'm sitting first chair and I'm the only one there's only nine people playing it plus rutter suite for strings and zampa overture and John Williams night at the cinema all of these things have a high skill level which my skills aren't there so I'm constantly terrified and I don't think I can play it very well even though I do practice it. Working on these things helps me learn a lot but if we're going to do a concert I just don't think I can make it!!!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Dear Debbie, we all experience that at some point of our journey with violin. It would be great if we can work on pieces which reflects our current level of techniques. But if this is not an option, try to focus on playing the first note of each measure in an ensemble , instead of trying to play each and every notes. This will help you to stay better with the ensemble and later you can gradually try to play more notes as your confidence grows. I hope this would help. Happy music making Debbie!

[@serencaner5701]

I have this bad ache on my left shoulder right now and I cant practise these days... It feels so bad I used to have scheduled practise sessions :(
