I totally agree: short sessions work best!

[@Violinspiration]

yay, great to see a fellow youtube teacher commenting! :) hope you're doing well!

[@ViolindEva]

yes, I am! 😊 Strange I didn't receive a notification about your reply. I think you always have to type in the name, so that people get notified..however, I'm not 100% sure about it. Keep rockin', Julia!

Thank you for the constant inspiration! Work always varies,yet I know at six in the evening will be perfect!

[@Violinspiration]

Thank you so much! Love your attitude! :D

[@lencivargas]

lol I liked the video when you said now you can tell people "I don't have time, I have to practice"😄

[@Violinspiration]

Yes, it takes courage to say, so you don't hurt anyone's feelings but... You have to go practice..😊

[@ViolindEva]

Watched it again. Congratulations on your new book! It must have been tons of work, well done! 👍

so happy to hear the video was helpful!

[@aansharmaa]

Hey! I just started watching your tutorials and they’re amazing. I just wanted to say that it would be better if you play the entire song in motion after the tutorial so that we can know exactly what the song is going to sound like when we actually play it. Thank You

[@Violinspiration]

Thanks Aansh, I want to show the full songs in all my new tutorials :)

[@ottogomez2457]

julia hiiiiii, i want to thank u again as always

[@Violinspiration]

Thanks! What are you mostly struggling with when reading notes?

[@suganthigunasekaran8062]

@@Violinspiration When I read notes, my fingers disorientate and my tone goes out, and it starts to sound scratchy and I become upset. I am not able to do it together.

[@nayrdinuir4753]

I also long to practice but don't have much time. I will take your valued suggestions. Thank you.

[@Violinspiration]

thanks! :)

[@raagtaal9839]

Hi Julia, thanks for ur motivational videos... I'm finding it very hard to get vibratos.... Without vibratos the song does not sound good.. There is no feel in it.. I keep trying to get vibratos and I loose interest to play my violin.. Can u plz help me with my problem

[@Violinspiration]

thanks for requesting, actually think about doing another livevibrato class soon---have done some live classes before. Make sure to subscribe to the mailinglist on my site to hear about upcoming live classes as they are normally not available on youtube

thanks Aruna, hope your preparations are going well

Yes. Practicing the pieces now :)

[@violinhead9261]

Can you do a tutorial for Summertime ? The older video that you made wasn't that helpful and I noticed you improvised too so I'd like to learn the original plus your improvised notes

[@Violinspiration]

Probably won't do another summertime video soon but I do plan to create more video lessons about improvisation and learning how to improvise in the future :)

[@violinhead9261]

@@Violinspiration That hurts

[@Violinspiration]

@@violinhead9261 😢 I'm sorry

[@violinhead9261]

@@Violinspiration Don't be like that now Julia, you were honest with not doing another video on Summertime. I always tell my friends this so I'll tell this to you too, never be apologetic for being honest. Cheer up, that sad emoji doesn't suit you 😜. On the bright side I've almost finished learning Thais : Meditation, you should be proud as a teacher ✌️

[@mlgsshow1215]

I'm a beginner . How many hours should I practice?

[@mahmoudel-qady3863]

Could I ask you , how many hours have you practice per day when you were a beginner?

[@Violinspiration]

It really varied...It was like between 5 min and 1 hour a day - but most sessions were below 30 min. And some special days more, when I was extremely motivated for instance before a performance of myself or after going to a performance of someone else :)

[@mahmoudel-qady3863]

Violinspiration - Violin Lessons Thanks for reply Julia but I’m wondering in that short time (30 minutes) could you practice both fingering techniques and bowing techniques?

[@Violinspiration]

@@mahmoudel-qady3863 my practice at that time was definitely less than ideal - I wasn't as knowledgeable about how to practice and didn't practice the way I would go about practicing now. I did several things, mostly either scales, songs or technical exercises, but I didn't practice as structured as I do now. I don't really recommend to anyone to practice as randomly as I did when I just got started, if makes way more sense to have a structured plan :) so short answer: I didn't practice the way I advice to practice my students when I just got started (haha) :)

[@mahmoudel-qady3863]

Violinspiration - Violin Lessons GOOD LUCK JULIA I HOPE THAT YOU GIVE US EXERCISES FOR FINGERING TECHNIQUE AND BOWING ALSO :)

[@homeofcreation8544]

My practice routine looks like this: 15 minutes practice 30 minutes Netflix 15 minutes practice 30 minutes Netflix etc

[@holo6883]

Ik kan m'n huiswerk niet eens plannen 😅

[@Violinspiration]

wat slecht, zoiets zou ik op de middelbare nooit hebben laten zitten! *uche*uche*

[@Violinspiration]

..maar je bent nog jong, er is nog hoop voor de toekomst😉

[@songsabai3794]

Out of sight, out of mind....hang your bow & violin up on the wall, cover them with a nice cloth - you will be much more likely to pick it up if it's in front of you than if it's hiding in your case.

[@Violinspiration]

You will indeed!
