[@mIroscorn]

As a former violinist, this is genuinely impressive I'm glad you decided to focus alot on your bow hold, because an improper bow hold is a nightmare to break. And I'm also glad you decided to work on your tone instead of jumping straight into vibrato, a lot of new players just jump straight into vibrato and that just becomes a detriment to their overall playing, All in all, you made an amazing and huge improvement in only 30 days. If anything, I encourage you to keep at it, you've got real potential

[@christianlawagonbato11]

I bought a violin last 2 week and for me, it's hard to hold/control the bow cuz it keeps jumping. any tips for the beginners😊

[@mIroscorn]

@@christianlawagonbato11 All I can really say is practice, alot I would take proper sessions to just get comfortable holding the bow. Practice on a pencil if you have to, but make sure you are doing a proper bow hold. My teacher taught me to shake your hand out and then relax your hand and that's as proper as a bow hold as you can get. Don't hold the bow extremely tight, nor hold it too loosely, it has to be just right. It can seem quite daunting at first, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be start playing in no time! I hope you keep at it!

[@Retri.animatez]

@@mIroscorn I bought a violin like few weeks ago and my violin just doesn't sounds right it screeches

[@mIroscorn]

@Retri There are several things that could be at play there. 1. You are not moving the bow in a straight line, keeping consistent pressure on the strings, and/or not playing fast enough. 2. You forgot to wipe the strings off after practicing. Rosin build-up on the strings can heavily impact the sound of your instrument. 3. Your strings are not in good condition. I generally recommend replacing the strings when you just buy one, even if they work fine. You will never know the mileage of your strings and even less so of used ones. Plus you can guarantee the best sounding ones for you as compared to the stock ones.

[@Retri.animatez]

[@rachelshepherd9644]

Violist and violin teacher here! Let me get you some things to know as you continue you journey! 1. you're using a lot of shoulder as you bow, open and close your elbow, also it sounds squeaky since you're putting too much weight when you bow 2. Shoulder rest (you called it a neck rest, never heard of it called that!) they aren't needed to play but really should be used when you play it just helps hold it up, it's something that never goes away 3. Vibrato: DO NOT ATTEMPT FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS BARE MINIMUM it takes A LOT of strength that beginners don't have, I didn't learn until 3 years in 4. finger tapes: USE THEM, the whole point of them is to help train your fingers where to go! after playing for ~5 years I still have my 3rd finger tape, memorizing where they go is one thing but memorizing where they go incorrectly is another. I think you're intonation is pretty good for your level, but have someone who knows what they're doing (ie. local music shop) put tapes on. they do not make you look stupid, I promise they help 5. Question, I notice you have one fine tuner, was this a hand me down violin? beginner violins don't usually have one as it's easier to tune 6 KEEP PRACTICING!! remember, practice makes permanent, not perfect. the more you practice the better you will sound, but make sure you give it 110% every single time so you sound confident when you play for others. I would also recommend taking at least 2 lessons from a professional, they'll help you fix anything :) I believe in you! you show a lot of promise in the 30 days alone and I think you will make a phenomenal violinist! If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them!

[@sylviagodsmith6957]

Thank you for other tips. I am learning violin as well and will keep these tips in mind.👍

This was such a nice and helpful comment! I just bought a violin today and this makes me feel like people will be willing to help and kind to newbies in this hobbie!💗

[@rachelshepherd9644]

@@Cloudyconfusion absolutely anytime! I wish you the best of luck on your journey, you got this! don't be discouraged, it's a pretty difficult instrument

[@rachelshepherd9644]

@@potatofries1942 absolutely! violins and lessons can cost a good bit of money, so I'd talk to your parents about it but you can always ask for money at holidays and your birthday and things like that instead of gifts. If your school has an orchestra, I'd either talk to the director in person or email them and ask how you can get started. Since you said you have no background in music, I'm going to assume you aren't too familiar with music theory either. There are a lot of resources that can help you read music on KZbin and I know there are many quiz websites as well to test your knowledge and help you learn and grow. If you have any questions at all let me know, I would be more than happy to answer them! best of luck on your journey! :)

As a violin teacher, I was very impressed with what you were able to accomplish in 30 days! I was very happy when you decided to take the finger stickers off. It's so much better to let your ear tell you when you are in tune instead of your eyes. I always notice students get better intonation AFTER they take off the stickers. Way to go! You should stick with it :)

[@avadeleon7811]

Violinist here!! I'm so shocked to see how good your posture is. Also vibrato takes years to learn. And if not learn correctly, it's very close to impossible to fix. Also never play without a shoulder rest EVER!!!❤️❤️

I don't play with a shoulder rest

[@anahiromanmorell9061]

why couldn’t you play without the shoulder rest? I mean I don’t recommend it for a beginner but many musicians don’t use it

@@anahiromanmorell9061 it can cause a lot of pain and can really hurt you in the future.

Amazing job! It’s not easy to learn violin but you did so well, especially for only 30 days. Majority of people don’t even touch a song for the first couple of months when learning. I am now currently on year 7 of learning the violin and I’ve got to say there’s still a lot I have to learn. Learning the violin is a long and difficult path but for all the beginners, don’t give up! Trust me it’s worth it in the end.

I'm really impressed! 👏👏👏Your progress in just 30 days is amazing! I've also been learning to play the violin for about the same amount of time. It's so inspiring. I hope you continue to learn and enjoy this beautiful instrument. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷 ❤

[@lmaooo_]

Hi! First of all, I just want to congratulate you on your amazing progress; when I started playing the Violin, It took me more than 30 days just to get the violin balance on my shoulder. Now, I've been playing for a good 5 years, and I just want to give you some tips. Something that I noticed in the very beginning is that you had a violin with one fine tuner, that gold thing near the bottom of your Violin where the string ends. For a beginner, I highly recommend having 4 of those. The Violin you had is what a professional would use. But I also noticed that you got a new one, later on, an amazing choice. And to be honest, there was really nothing wrong I could find. Happy practicing!

[@kliaxos]

I’m going back into violin after 6 years for 2023 and this was very motivating!

During my healing stages. I came across classical music and found that I actually am drawn to the music, it’s just so beautiful. Emotions flowing the power. But yes now im debating on learning either the violin, cello or piano.

you did really good for a month!! and yeah, vibrato is something that takes YEARS to learn so don’t feel like you need to learn it any time soon! i’ve been playing 6 years and only this past year have i actually started learning vibrato, and it’s not NEAR perfect

[@Kgeneral-ze4zc]

Great job!!! I approve im a fell violinist and I must say I can hear the work you put in from day one too two! My suggestion, should you choose to apply it, would be to overall carry out the scale practices as you are doing, and focus on relaxing the bow hand a bit more, relax the grip. Relax is key to playing. Id suggest keep practicing two maybe three years before attempting a vibrato, took me about two and a half, I highly recommend trying to keep your arm outwards and using less of the shoulder rest. Overall great work!!

I studied violin for three years and this is really impressive, after thirty days I was still working on the fingers position. One thing I suggest you is, rest your shoulder when you bow, you're using it a lot. I had this problem and fixing it really helped me sound better. Use finger tapes, I still have them after three years and they really help. Most important thing, keep practicing!! It is very difficult to turn back when you dont for a while (I say this from experience). I hope you will continue this journey because violin is a very beautiful instrument. Have a good day!

[@henry247]

Really wanted to see a musician (who plays another instrument) learning violin... I play electric guitar for 17 years and i really want to learn violin so i wanna see how it works out when you already know musical theory and both instruments share a bit of the techniques like vibratos,slides,legatos,hammer-ons that you guys call trills i guess,double stops,etc ... Ive also noticed there's a technique in violin where you bounce the bow on the strings...i feel that'd be like a "gallop" on guitar..
