Return to the violin after 5 months off

[@robinshen8364]

Intensity is good, but consistency is king. Welcome back to the violin and please stick with it. Your return to playing will inspire the rest of us. (As an aside, my great great grandmother wants her velvet pajamas back.)

LOL love the last sentence! haha -- I have still been playing; even just played fiddle in a live theatre show for a 4-week run! More exciting improvements ahead, so feel free to subscribe if you'd like to stay privy to my journey!

I definitely recommend trying to pick it back up! I've been playing for a quite a while now, probably about a year and a half or so it'll take a minute to get back used to it as you probably know🤣

[@CourtneyLucien]

Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement!❤️

[@natashiaconley3298]

Ive been playing for 6 years and I had to take a break during COVID I started again last year. And I would definitely recommend picking it back up. It’s a great skill to have.

[@cottoncandy6735]

Any updates this year? I’m so excited to buy my first violin and learn from KZbin videos!

[@cottoncandy6735]

You’re doing so well! 🎉

[@salcastillo585]

Yeah!

I had a few false starts with the violin. Picked it up played it for a few months, put it down. Repeated that for about 3 years until late 2019 when I finally got into it into it. Every few months I learned something new and get a little bit better

[@abigailwoodhead1322]

Just keep going. I've just picked back up after 10 years after originally getting to grade five. It does all come back

U remind me of myself. I am doing graduate study while learning violin on my own. Sometimes i leave it for months. But the thing is, by somehow, I find myself doing well actually might better than last time i played. Not to mention neighbors complains, so I have to get somewhere empty outdoors to play 🤦🏻

[@QueerArtistInTheCorner]

I’ve also been playing for a year and a half. Except it’s for school. Currently In philharmonic orchestra and trust me you’re not alone for messing up.

Maybe we should not compare, But just for knowledge sake. ---- Remember we are not comparing "Cello" and "Guitar". ----- Guitar vs Violin: Which one do you think is more powerful?

[@iiZAPPx]

Life happens. But regardless if you wanted to document progress and have it do well analytically on your socials... you should keep with it. It's a lovely skill. I enjoyed watching your progression despite me never commenting it. Hope you fall in love with it again

[@CourtneyLucien]

Hi! I so appreciate your comment :) As an actor and voiceover artist I’m always juggling quite a lot of things: some that pay the bills, some that are pure passion projects, and some that cost money. So as I plan ahead, singing + violin progress are on my list, and I’d like to make them higher priorities. I know that you and others really enjoy seeing the progress - particularly violin - so I have not forgotten about you or your support!! ❤️ thank you for pushing me to keep going.

[@davinderc]

I feel ya, I've managed to not learn to play the cello over the COVID years

[@Jamesmusica]

Wow! I’ve been

[@Megan-el3kp]

honestly, to try and just get back into it it’s okay if you even just practice for 10 minutes a day. if you keep that consistent and slowly build up the amount of time you put in i think it’ll really pay off for you!

[@TalentedMrOtter]

hey! try getting the essential elements book 1, its very helpful and has easy songs! once you get good try suski book 1

[@maxien101]

I understand about the neighbour worry, I haven't even started and I already got a training mute haha

[@0_base1]

I’m 20 and never played violin before, I would really love to try and become good, I was worried of starting to late

[@WhoCares-nq4vp]

I am 18 and been playing drums for 15 years, I was worried to, but violin is definitely gonna be my second instrument and I am going to dedicate myself to getting good at it!.

[@dinkarkini5278]

u started learning violin now ??im a begibbwe too@@WhoCares-nq4vp

[@shirinshahabas7398]

Hey dear Which model are you using? Can you please suggest me . I really interested to play violin but I don’t know which one is better for beginners 😢

[@bellesebastian012]

Do you have any videos of what kind of player you were after a year of consistent playing and practicing?

[@CourtneyLucien]

I do! I will be making a video within the next couple of weeks showing the progress of a year of 🎻 playing. I’m just now turning my sights back onto this channel and more progress videos, so I appreciate you asking! :)

[@HansKuhlmann]

You are honest, I like that. And you show ist that the violin ist harder to play than other instruments. On the piano you can play easy pieces that sound good pretty fast. Piano gets harder when you want to play advanced stuff. BTW, the irish tunes are not easy to play, because the notes are easy. Producing an irish sound with ornamentations is even for advanced players a challenge. And they are fast, drowsy Maggie in the original reel tempo is hardly playable for beginners.

[@CourtneyLucien]

Thank you for stopping by and sharing a comment! :) And yes, Irish tunes are difficult, especially with the ornamentations - you're right! Very fun to play and learn all the same!
