  • Thank you !! , this helps me a lot :)

  • I am so happy i found this! I am getting a violin on my b-day which is in. a few weeks! This helps!

  • This was nice! Hopefully, I can somewhat teach myself how to play.

    P.S. Filipinos represent!

  • @pizzaplanet101 yes, the Rosin goes on the bow hairs. Try not to touch the hairs with your hands that much because the oil can be damaging.

    I really wish this woman lived on Kauai and could give me lessons.. No one here knows violin! =(

  • What violin do you use?

  • This Is Great.

    You Perfect To Be A Professional Instructor.

  • what violin do you have?

  • thank you so much,,,

  • thanks you this help me alot.

  • Get tuned dot com is a great place. I go there to tune all my instruments even though I have a Chromatic Tuner. I learned a long time ago to tune by sound. I have played some country stuff on a violin years ago. Very informative. You make a great teacher.. Thanks...

  • Great video, thank you very much for taking the time to record a very detailed video. Is just what I needed to finally get my first Violin. :) You are the best Angel. :)

  • Hi my name is valerie

    i am 16 years old i been playing since i was 7.

    I really like the way u teach :) AND think ur doing a good job with what u know

    Ps. Rosin is used to help ur pitch be louder and whiten the bow. You also should not put ur fingers on the horse hair the oil on ur fingers turns it black and you wont be able to play as well

  • As the video goes through, your getting prettier an prettier..Thank you for creating this tutorial and sharing your knowledge angel

  • thankyou :)

  • I am 14 with no musical experience and I do not know how to read sheet music very well. I am saving money to buy a violin and I wanted to see some tutorials and yours was the best I have seen! :D very informative and I hope to purchase a violin soon! Does anyone recommend a certain brand for a beginner like myself?

  • @SnowfurVodka well, if you are a begginer, any violin around $100 will do good

  • @SnowfurVodka I am also 14. And I did the same thing. I totally recommend Scherl and Roth violins. But be sure to order a "package' so you get a case, bow, and rosin.

  • thank you beautiful lady

  • hey i need lots of help so please e-mail me on mt.girlsd@gmail.com

    thnx

    from shaylee

  • how much is yamaha's violin lessons? thanks

  • I have a problem that is when I play the D and A string the bow seems to be hitting both strings at the same time.

    And my bow seems to be giving out terrible screeching sounds

  • @mohanaturo master first how to play each string slowly. make sure to apply rosin on the bow hairs to prevent screeching sounds.

  • @angelsbyolin apply rosin on the bow hairs?

  • This is an amazingly captivating video. Great job!!

  • i brought a little rosin

  • i brought a little rosin like little kids rosin

    

  • Thank you so much for the tutorial. I just bought a violin for my 7 year daughter, and trying to set it up for her. You video really helped a lot. Thank you!

  • Nice, but gaahh lol.. You handle the bow real well, i just got my violin today and with each contact from the bow and violin it bounces the horse hairs bounce on the violin strings. Ill probily get used to it so its all good.

  • love your videos can you make some more?

  • nice vid is the violin hard to play

  • nice video. What's the music playing?

  • what kind of violin do you have?

  • Interesting tutorial, (saved your vid) thanks for posting!! :) Maybe a mention on how to adjust the tuning pegs when we want to adjust the intonation??

  • Can I ask you what the background music is?

  • very helpful, Thank you!!

  • Is it true, that how older violins are, the better they play? I heard that somewhere and I was thinking or it could be true...

  • @XxNesky3 it's true- they produce a richer sound.

  • Pinoy dn,, hehe pra ka ngang Viet ate.

  • Great advice, very thorough! Probably the best tutorial I have seen! What make of violin do you own?

You are very pleasant to listen to, and I'm finally learning enough to be able to get started. (I can't afford lessons.) So, thank you again.

  • I love your video!! Thank you so much!! :)

    I bought a violin today and I 've been wathing lots of videos on YT on how to tune, etc.. and none have good information, but your is great!

  • i love the piano music in the background :)

  • I want to learn how to play the violin, but I am having a little trouble selecting one that is right for me. Is there a certain kind of violin that is specifically for beginners? Or are they all the same? If there are different kinds of violin, which do you recommend for beginners like me?

  • I just bought a violin and this was very good advice! Great tips :)

  • I recently bought a violin and when i tried to tune it, it wasn;t producing any sounds no matter how i tried to do exactly what is required, that was weird for a new violin.

    Is there any problem with a bow? Plz help!

  • @joemz125 Did you apply rosin to your bow? New violin bows require rosin application in order to produce a sound while bowing.

  • that was helpful thank uuuuuuuuu :D 

  • Thanks for the info's I've learned a lot, even though i do not have a Violin.

    i wish i could have someday :)

  • i thought shes a filipina XD

  • That background music makes everything so cute...

  • i love your vids!! thank you so much!

  • Do you have to clean the Rosin off your bow after you play? Wont it build up after a long time? It wont get sticky?

  • @Singerazboi100 No my teacher said you dont need to clean your bow, But clean the strings on your violin if rosin falls on it,

  • God I haven't played the violin in so long. I played when I was 6 but I quit at 7 because my mom didn't have time to do it. And then I started playing it again at 8 but my mom realized the guy just wanted money so I quit again then I joined again when i was 9 but it was to expensive I left my violin in my closet for 1 year and now I wanna play the violin again!! How do you tune it? My violin is really out of tune!!

  • i am new at the violin and that was very helpful.... thank you

  • I WISH I HAD A VIOLIN. MY GRANDMOTHER SAID THAT IF I GET ENOUGH MONEY I COULD GET ONE oh sorry didn't realize it was on caps but you are the first one i will come to!

  • Thanks for this. I have always wanted to play. Now I'm inspired more. I'm going to begin. I like that you give all the necessary information and your teaching is easy to understand. Keep posting!

  • thank you for your tutorial :)

  • I LOVE YOU <3 =")

  • she's is vietnamese, I see the nón lá. Aw, your English is so good that I could not recognize you were a Viet at first ^^, btw, I'm a viet too

  • @votonhi313 i'm filipino :) thanks for watching.

  • @angelsbyolin im half filipino but mostley english or irish not sure

  • @angelsbyolin o_O waah.... I'm a Filipino... and my name is Angel too... the difference?

    12 lang ako. >.> at ako ay hindi magaling sa violin. (_ _|||)

  • @angelsbyolin ano po sie ng violin mo .

  • @votonhi313 duhhhhhhhhhh

  • @votonhi313 hahahahahah lol you were off rolf

  • @votonhi313 shes not a gook, gook...shes filipino..lol

  • If I were to buy a violin, would you reccomend full size 4/4?

    Thanks!

  • @traumateamfreakos Judging by the fact you are on YouTube, I'd personally advise a 4/4. Usually, a person aged 9 and above will play on a full violin, the 3/4 is a smaller one and is only used for small children =)

  • I have a question that no one gives me a direct answer for, I'm 5'2 very slim and under 100lbs what size violin should I use. I had one person tell me all that matters and another say just measure my arms. but online it went by age. Should I just buy a 4/4??

    Please get back to me if you can. I am an adult but I don;t think that has anything to do with violin sizing.

  • You are the Best!! haha.. I've learned so much from you. :P Even though I don't have my own Fiddle to play. :) Thank you for this video!! It helps me a lot.

  • OMG, this is the best beginner video i'd ever seen, aww, u are so humble, THanks!! urmm, may i know how much is biginner violin. What's yr violin model, i am a biginner, which violin would u recommend?? THanks !!!

  • Thanks Angel!!! very Informative for a beginner!!! :-)

  • angel i need a help ??

  • angel ur gr8 teacher.....r u on fb..??

  • angel are you on fb????

    

  • If u buy a violin thats a diff. Color would it affect the sound

  • i hav trouble holding da violin without da shoulder rest... can you post a video on that... my teacher doesnt encourage me 2 buy a shoulder rest...

  • thanks for posting this video. Im a musician of about 4 other instruments and i wanted to start on violin. This was helpful, thank you :)

  • Loved it!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

  • tnx

    you are elegant

  • I'm buying a violin next-week, i have never played before so at the moment I'm just jotting down basic knowledge stuff, but thank-you so much for putting the video up..

  • @angelsbyolin

    Thanks :)

  • Thankss but if I turn my tuning pegs, it slides downward. How to fix that?

  • @aprofchef yup just push your pegs inward whenever you tune it so it will stay put and won't slide down.

  • @angelsbyolin thank you very much for the tip =3

    it was very helpful ^.^

  • @angelsbyolin hey this is really a nice think that you did i liked a lot cause violin is my passion a long time a go but i never had a chance to learn it this video inspiared me :) keep it going girl your a verry nice person i think that you can be a violin teacher you got future :) I'm going to learn play violin...but i'm 14 years old do you think it's too late??!

  • @aprofchef Her advice is good but the string might also need to be put in again and that's when you untwist the string and re-put it back in that tiny whole and tighten it

  • ate may alam pu ba kayong site na pwedeng kuhaan ng violeen sheet .+_+?

  • Thank you very much 'Angel' for taking time out of your personal life to put up this vid! I literally just purchased my violin today (I've never played before) and was very happy to find your instructions on Youtube!

  • What is the link ?! my computer is running slow today!!

  • Got my first violin today (it's pink!). You're my new teacher ;) x

  • Ate angel, Thank you so much! You helped me soo much! I baught a violin today and my parents won't supply me a violin teacher until next year, so I have to self teach myself for a year before proper lessons. I've been searching youtube for tutorials and Im so lucky to have landed on your video! Salamat masyado! :D <3 x

  • Thank you for the tutorial. I just received a violin in the mail today that I bought. I have no idea how to play but this video helped me a lot!! I now know how to do the basics or playing.

  • Hi Ms. @angelsbyolin, yung part po ba ng bow na gagamitin mo nakadepende siya sayo o dun sa tinutugtog mo?

  • I'm not even playing violin, in fact, I don't even own one. But you're just so cozy to listen to. <: making me even want to learn. Perhaps I'll check back if I spontaneously buy me a violin!

    Thx for the video!<3

  • Excellent video! Thanks!

  • Wow! Thanks! you've helped me~ I'm learning to play violin by myself.

  • OMG! Your filipino! I AM TOO! L0L

  • thanks

  • Where can you buy a kiddie violin in the philippines???Pls.Help Me!!!

  • Oh my gosh!! Thank you soo much, this was extremely helpful :)

  • FILIPINOS YEAH YEAH

  • You are very nice and I think you would be a great teacher :) This tutorial was very helpful for me, because it tells everything what I should know for beginning with the violin. Thank you so much!

  • thanx sooo much!! you have helped me heaps!! im 11 and i am getting my new violin today. is the violin hard to play for your first time??

  • @lst737 im 11 too and i play the violin and yes its kinda hard to play for your first time. I suggest start with plucking and then move on to the bow thats how i learned

  • i would rather you teach me how to play violin,then that bearded old fat guy... much prettier sight to see :)

  • I love it! you speak slowly, allowing the viewers to understand everything about the violin. I learned a lot! thanks!

  • Would I be able to use a piano to tune a violin? Thats how I tune a guitar...

  • @pianoluvr100 yes you definitely can use the piano to tune your violin.

  • @angelsbyolin Ohh ok! Thank you!!! :D

  • @pianoluvr100 yes you can use piano to tune your violin:G D A E

  • this is so helpful thank you!

  • are you filipino??

  • you arae tooooo cute!!! :) I am waiting for my violin to be delivered and my first lessons are in Janurary!

  • Thanks to you, I learned, that I don't have to tune the strings in the order like I do on the guitar. It's completely different. Omg, should be better, to know some basics ;)

    By the way: Why can't I tune it like a guitar? I already played some songs with this tuning.

  • @KiltKaius as an advanced orchetra and guitar student is that even if the tuning sounds the similar it just means ur playing it on a different key than the actual song

  • thank you. Your gentle way has caused this big moose to learn. Have the music in me, and its looking for a way out. have violin and will learn, thanks to you.

  • @1mealperday I felt exactely the same way!!

    She's so kind and proud, with her eyes shining when talking about the violin that gave me a HUGE will to learn the violin!

  • thx alooooooooooooooooooot ,,plz plz dont stop ur videos 

  • thx alooooooooooooooooooot ,,plz plz dont stop ur videos !

  • Super video. :) Thank you so much. :D

  • Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. The reason you do not leave the bow tightened up is because the wood will bend and eventually keep that shape.You also should not leave violins or guitars with their strings tightened for the same reason-the neck can bend and eventually stay bent, assuming the body does not also cave in a little from the stress.

  • @CLUBxTOxDEATHxANGEL- Guitars don't really have that problem, the neck on a guitar is flexible but it's generally made form hard maple or mahogany, and is a lot stronger than a violin's neck. And guitars have truss rods inside the neck which adjust it. In fact it's inadvisable to leave the strings off a guitar because it gives the neck a back bow, which is worse than a front bow.

  • ive started playing violin 1 week ago and still im struggling on the notes. :( ive been playing guitar for quite sometime now and to tell you the truth, violin is a very hard instrument :) with the principles on fingering on guitar then switch to violin. it so damn hard!! hahaha

    btw. thanks for this tutorial! hehe. helps me alot

  • thank you very much for your tutorial. i just start to play the violine and i already learned a lot from you. i dont have money for paying a pro teacher, so i appreciate your describtions very very much. thanks for your time make the videos and go on and i wish you all good things in life ^.^

  • thx angel =D

  • thank u so much!!! you're great!!! 

  • ive got a crush on you now!

  • Oh great. I actually started playing violin last summer.. haha! I wanna ask if you could teach me Vibrato. I am busy at school works that's why I can't attend my sessions. By the way, I'm Jina from the Philippines. If you have FB account please add me. Thank you. BTW, you're a great violinist. :) thanks. I learned so many things from you.. THANK YOU! God bless.. ^^

  • @nakayamachiina yup i actually have a video teaching vibrato. feel free to check that one out.

  • On your hand it looks really easy, i really want to try it out. Next time when i visit a music shop, i will look vor a violin. Maybe it works, thanks for the tutorial!

  • thank you very much!!

  • I LOVE UR TUTORIAL! BUT DO U KNOW THE NAME OF THE SECOND SONG YOU USED? IT HAS A GOOD RHYTHM. THANK YOU!

  • simple question- i am a beginner, learned to play pizzicato and simple stuff mary had a little lamb. Now i want to work with the bow, but i notice the hair on the bow is very close to the stick, i want to have the hair half inch from the stick, but using the screw wont work, is the bow defective, or do i need more rosin?

    It was a Kennedy violin for beginners, also i notice when i use fretless stickers it makes violin out of tune, so i had to remove the stickers

  • @KubrickLives your bow stick should be fine. make sure to wipe the rosin off of your bow stick after use. you can do away with the fretless stickers. practice the sound of the music scales.

  • @angelsbyolin how do i wipe off the rosin? with a towel?

  • @HotVamp100 a lint free cloth will do.

  • ei angel, uhhhh, can u please teach me how to read notes? i bought this manual along with my violin the other day, but i couldn't understand all the notes written, haha ^^V

  • thank you so much i needed that help i just started my school orcestra

  • i love Philippians :D lol

  • Thanks for the video , whats the name of the second song , I like it allot...

  • wow a filipino,, ok good im proud, im starting to learn a violin also. and it helps me a lot in your lecture.. thank you your so nice and very relaxing.. oh by the way, how old are you?

  • ate angel.... what kind of rosin do i get for my violin? i'm a first time violin player and youhr videos really help thanks.

  • Oh my gosh thank you so much for posting these tutorials. You are very sweet and kind for doing so! I recently bought a violin secondhand for about 100 dollars. It is shabby and out of tune, and thanks you your tutorials I hope to learn and practice.
