Truly what you put in you will get out and that goes for everything in life.... Hard work ,persistence and consistency goes a long way

[@hotarumizushina5754]

Practicing everyday is the best way to have talent

[@Poreckylife]

Not sure about that

[@paganiniwannabe]

This is so enlightening! What you say makes much more sense than even hearing blanket statements like “it’s not talent, it’s practice.” Looking forward to the next few videos!

[@KennedyViolins]

Thanks for the encouragement. I need it sometimes! 👍

This information is really straightforward and very refreshing and encouraging. I think so often people have not pursued something they were interested in because they assumed or were told they didn’t have the “talent” for something. The “T” word can be very intimidating. Like you say, if an individual is willing to have an open mind and the willingness to take the steps required to start learning and working their way through something and moving forward they may be pleasantly surprised at how much talent they have. Another factor I have often encountered for myself is being fascinated or in love with the idea starting something new only to turn off to it because the enterprise was based more on feelings then on the clear realistic attitude needed to stick with it. It’s a huge and fascinating topic. Thank you for your clear, realistic, and hopeful approach.

Good info. Thanks for sharing :)

Very true

[@chrisconklin2981]

Wow, There is hope for me yet!

Wonderful explaining about the talent to deliberate practice.

Glad someone appreciates the concept. 😆

Apparently I'm a master of watching KZbin videos. :D However, as someone who loves math, research, psychology, and biology this is so true. It's like how people sometimes claim they aren't good at math. When I tutored math I'd often break it down into smaller, less frustrating steps. For me math (and music) is self rewarding because it's concrete enough to be able to tell when you get it right. I started violin when I was 8. I really enjoyed it right up until high school. However, at that level I stated getting frustrated and couldn't continue on. 20 years later, I have resources I didn't have before that have helped me overcome some of those struggles like your video explaining how to string a violin to decrease peg slippage or guides about what strings will help my violin sound the way I want. I went from difficulty tuning, to ready to take off fine tuners, and dominant strings with a paristio gold label e, and now I can play things that were a huge struggle as a teen

[@KennedyViolins]

Awesome story. Thanks for sharing with us! 😉

[@svetavinogradova4243]

Talent in violin is heightened sensitivity to sound. This is inborn!

[@lukej.hughes7761]

thanks for this, I had just thrown my violin out of frustration, so I needed the encouragement. XD

[@deadmanswife3625]

You threw your violin

Hard work, patience and diligent practice is the most important thing for getting good at anything. Talent may give one a faster edge in learning but discipline and dedication is still number one. 😊

[@sandyblond20]

Correct practising is learning a piece from the very last measure to the very first one by one. Practicing this way gives direction with music, learning it from knowing where everything fits into the piece.

[@robroman6453]

Very good content, a different angle for my son to learn good habits towards his development. I agree a lot with your perspective. Every art requires dedication and will power to get to a level that you can feel rewarded and accomplished.

[@samueljackson315]

Because I'm watching this video instead of practicing.

Poor practicing habits are my downfall! I find myself thinking about all that I do not know. This video gives me hope. I am ready for the next one.

I'm 60 years old. I was playing the piano, my son was plying violing from age 3 , he did not become an artist but it helps him to develop "flow" skills. I now want to start to learn how to play the violin. I went with my son to the teacher but did not play by myself. I want to learn now. What is your recommendation for my age?

[@KennedyViolins]

Well, first of all, it can be done. I've personally taught people in their 60's and while it's more difficult to learn anything after 25, it's most certainly possible. Since you played piano, you have a leg up because you understand music generally. The same principles apply for learning the violin. It's important to be consistent. Consistency is the key to improvement. You have to make the violin a daily habit and slowly but surely, you'll get to where you want to be. It's definitely not easy and that is why most people quit but you will get there. Getting a good teacher is pretty important. You can learn with videos etc but having a good teacher to keep you honest is truly the best insurance for success!

[@francisbelen394]

Just practice and be patient

[@ajmel3050]

Just practice and be quiet :)

[@ForeverDokkan]

Why am I not talented. 1. Not practicing. 2. Broken violin. 😔

[@sandyblond20]

Good luck the way you teach it.

Talent is coordination and good memory. Those good in sports are good in art . Here. Let me propose a test . Draw me a straight line and draw me a circle. The results of the straight line is pretty straight most everybodly else not so straight and the circle ? A very acceptable roundness. Not perfectly symmetrical but the onlooker is not offended What about the others ? The left side is too fat and the right side too skinny. The bottom side too flat and the top side a pin head. Am i allowed to say pinhead on this family channel?
