[@jedgr]

I was playing violin for years, I never understood the 3rd position but after finding this video, this looked so so easy !! Thank you !!!

[@MarijkeViolin]

I'm happy to hear that, thank you! ✨

[@mariesauvage489]

I played the violin for almost 2 years when I was 9, Now 10 years later I'm starting again from 0. It's been almost 4 months since I picked the violin again and even if I thought I had forgotten everything I learned as a child, I'm actually making progress really fast thanks to those two years. I'm now starting to learn how to shift in 3rd position, something I don't think I had learned the 1st time and it's really difficult, your video and your exercices helps a lot, you really explains it well, thx!

[@marisrogers5192]

hey! i know it has been 3 years but how is it going?

[@Drewski777]

Yeah seriously, how's it going?

[@99.74_]

You are good teacher. Thank you. Sincerely.

[@ezbreezy6264]

thank you so much! i started playing violin in school and am almost starting my third year as a violin player. i realized how much i loved the instrument and soon after i started private lessons coronavirus hit. i stopped playing for almost a year but i rediscovered my love for the instrument. i was starting to feel a little discouraged because i couldn’t play the pieces i wanted to without shifting. this video was so helpful! helped me teach myself and was so easy to follow along.

[@MarijkeViolin]

That's so nice to hear! ☺️🧡

Migliore spiegazione ! Grazie

[@angle7653]

I have been a violinist for 2 years in total and I'm starting my 3rd year right now. We're still on 1st position and I stupidly decided to audition for All-State Orchestra and some of the notes on the audition music sheet were 3rd position and I didn't know 3rd position yet. Your video really helped!

[@MarijkeViolin]

That's great to hear, good luck! 😊🎉🎻

[@Theo-tc2pl]

@@MarijkeViolin i printed The first 5 pages. To try it easy in the beginning ,and in fact it is very easy ! I started 2 week ago 3 rd position And All mind has to be rebooted as we got used to put fingers position 1. So before sleeping i do just with my finger For example : E string 1 st A note , and i trigger the finger Pronouncing A , than 2 nd B and trigger the finger … and so on it helps to know which finger moved and his number - position has to To be played i forth and back 1-2-3-4-3-2-1 In my mind ,It helped in first position so why not with third ! Take care thanks again. OH MY. !! I realized right now that in english u use the first 7 letters from alphabet for 7 notes !! I was used to Do re mi. … that complicate to memorize , but if u start From and with A la , b si , c do D re , mi f fa G sol is easier as they follow each other on the strings

Thanks for the information. Can you please tell me the benefit of playing in third position comparing to the first position You are a generous teacher

[@MarijkeViolin]

You're welcome. 🙂 Well, like I said in the video, sometimes playing in first position isn't convenient because of weird string crossings for example. And sometimes a bit of music sounds sweeter when played higher up on a lower string.

Thank you mam...

[@stephenrudolph1064]

I would have written the first basic exercise differently. Since we are getting used to a new fingering position, i wouldnt have used the B note in the song. since we know the basic fingering position (the way the fingers are spread out with finger 2 and 3 next to each other), That B (3 hi) is a little difficult to grasp.. I would have chosen the C, because if we have to your B.. we are not used to visualizing where that 3 hi would be way up there on the neck... sorry if you are confused. steve

Can you please check the finger positions on the E string on your PDF document. I think they are incorrect comparing to my document which I down loaded from the internet. They are correct for the G & D strings. Please confirm.

[@MarijkeViolin]

I copied these exercises from a lesson book, and I didn't discover any faults in it when learning. So even if I wanted to, I can't change them.
