Thanks Joel, I needed to be reminded of this. I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you so much. 😊

Don't learn songs, learn to play tunes.

Wow stunning sound

Suzuki is one of the beginning viola method books that I've been cycling through. Lots of fun. Today I breezed through volume 1 of the Sassmannshaus series, working hard at the big three: Posture, Intonation, and Tone. What struck me for the first time is how what seem like very simple pieces are shaping my hand frame, more than in other elementary methods. Anyway, I'd get bored sticking to only one book.

Thanks for your very helpful vids Joel. The Suzuki method seems to often be promoted towards kids but clearly very helpful for adult learners as well. Your comment about covering other books in the series sounds like a great idea.

I dabble in both, but I prefer the gutsiness of the viola! 👨🏻

🎻I like your motorcycle helmet. 😉👨🏻 >> I have a Shoei, but that Arai looks pretty good, too.

You spelled remember incorrectly.

For open strings practice I used metal mute as in the initial period the sound was scratchy (it mutes around 85-90% of the sound). However I don't like the metal mute as it sits just a couple of millimetres on the bridge thereby blocking the view, which leads to angled bowing which is especially not good in the initial period. As I gained control over bowing & sound quality I started using only the Rubber mute, which goes down all the way and mutes around 45-50% of the sound. This ensure good feedback on the sound quality as well as doesn't block the view of bowing area. The only downside to rubber mute is that G string sounds funky, but for me a rubber mute scores over the metal one!

Yep, 66 yo - all good tips, and no 1 is a TEACHER. Then commit to your national examinations syllabus. It focussed your learning like nothing else! I like classical, but I love jazz and blues violin. But I need to get the formal training done (walking) so I can run!

Right on 👍

The viola erasure of the other commenter is so offensive 🤣 Such an underrated, rich, depthful instrument. 🎻 She is gorgeous 😍

If you get a practice mute get a metal one. The rubber ones make your bridge turn black.

I'm a composer and my main instrument is the piano. I just got my first violin and its oh so hard

Very good thank you.

Thank you for the giveaway of Violins in Ray Chen Channel. I immediately recognized when he said Kennedy violins. The little girl really deserved that violin. Hoping for more informative content for beginners like us. 🇳🇵

I have a modern violin that I commissioned back in 2021. It has definitely improved in sound quality over the years. I've also gotten better as a player, so it feels like there's a lot sound continuously being unlocked. Interestingly enough, I've used antique bows with it, and they reveal a lot of sound potential that it's capable of. That in itself is a whole new world to talk about. Thanks for the video!

I have all three The Artino really gags the beast!🤣

THROUG THE YEARS, AT STRING CHANGE OR PEG PROBLEMS, I HAVE. A 200 GRIT WET-DRY PAPER. A STICK OF WHITE CHALK, A SMALL BAR OF OLD FASHION IVORY SOAP. I TAKE THE PEG OUT, LIGHTLY SAND WHERE SHINNY, APPLY LIGHT FILM OF SOAP WHERE SANDED, APPLY A LIGHT STREAK OF CHALK WHERE SANDED. PUT PEG IN HOLE, TURN PEG BOTH DIRECTIONS. IF TO TIGHT, MORE LIGHT SOAP, IF TO SLACK MORE LIGHT CHALK. WIPE EXCESS OFF PEG .PUT STRING ON, DO EACH PEG, TUNE & ENJOY A YEAR OF NO PROBLEMS.

Me gusto como lo puedo comprar ?

Looks like a good idea. Quite right, sometimes you don't want to be heard too loudly!

thank you so much, it was very helpful.

I like practicing with a Viowiess caterpillar mute.

Thank you! I hate that.

Nice violin 🎻

Beautiful sound❤

Many thanks! You're a lifesaver!

They save the peg box from wearing out

thank you! I was gifted a guitar bow & had NO ideawhat the bow/rosin approach was. now I (ALMOST...) get it. hugs & kisses-jj

How much ?

This made it worse now it won’t get right at all Edit: now it’s snapped I think I’m just going to have a shop put on new strings for me and help me tune it, when I got my violin from Kennedy violins it was horribly out of tube

I have to get thought by someone. Cos i want that feedback on if im doing it right

Why did my sliping pegs get worse after trying this? Did i do something wrong?

Some Strads sound really average, hence not all Strads are the same quality. Some modern violins actually sound better than Strads.

You have the most satisfying viola vibrato I've ever heard. Who did you study with?

How do I set my four tuners on mu violin? To start

Isn't string gauge a factor?

What about other features that play a part in becoming good at playing an instrument eg. motivation (really wanting to do it), an individual's anatomy, and of course - cash!

I don't think I am doing it right. My hand feels very stiff and when I wave the bow its almost as if its about to fall off and my index finger has to push for the bow to not fall off

Thanks for sharing your opinion. In the past, I used to play with shoulder rest, as you said if the player can compromise the different sound quality. Nevertheless, without shoulder rest, the tension and fatigue created from holding is relatively larger than playing with it. However, after learning the principles of the old master's method as well as the stretching exercises after practice, I cease to use and really big improvement was found from my playing. Now it's really enjoyable since I stopped addicting using it..😂😂

Some modern violins actually sound as good as Stradivarius violin!

Then prestige of a name of a instrument

The manufacturer must make a profit

The seller must make a profit

Profit to value price range to pay for quality

Beautiful Just Beautiful

Very helpful, thank you
