[@jub8891]

Bach is a genius and his music is timeless.. the way you played andante really sounded like 2 people were playing! it was magical :D

Thank you Jub8891! I agree Bach's music is timeless!!!

You're amazing! My first thought was "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Then you explain how you do it and I'm amazed even further. Also, it is fun to watch you play. Perhaps you will play a couple of you favorite tunes for us and illustrate your preferred intonations. Thank you Joy!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Thank Michael!! I'll certainly keep that in mind:) Happy music making!

Excellent, another wonderful piece. I tried the first two measures. it's very interesting, and I will try more if I can. For the fingering, you use the first finger for both E and F on D string, right! Thank you so much.

It gives me ideas of something hard to add to my warmup, the hard stuff become automatic through repetition everything else becomes easy. First the bowing, second playing a simple melody on the D string wile holding a base note on the G string.

Difficult for me with visual impairment I need to enlarge to see learn and memorize the notes I need some guidance on where to pulse, and sustain double stops and where to come off. Please?

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Hi Sean, this particular Bach piece has two different voices ( as though two violins are playing together). Try to play each voice separately as a single note and this helps us to understand the nature of each tone of each voice including the timing /length of each voice. Also seeing a copy of handwritten manuscript by J.S.Bach can help us to understand each voice. I hope you can try and experience it. Happy practising!

in vivaldi violin concerto In A minor i sound like inconsistent i dont know why

[@JoyLeeViolin]

You might benefit from section practice, working on the challenging sections separately in slow tempo and different variations for coordination practice with dotted rhythm. I hope you can find solutions. Happy practising!
