Improve your Tone on the Violin: part 1

[dekzan]

Please, disregard question about a tuner with violin sound. I saw you using a regular A note buzz tuner. I found an iPhone violin tuner app with violin sound called n-tune: Violin-Free by Cocoada under "violin tuners free" at the Apple store. What an amazing work you are doing. Thank you.

Thanks so much for these videos. Some of the most clear explanations I've seen.



[LauraMocean]

[zaphenine]

Your violin sounds beautiful! What kind is it, what type of wood is it made of?

I have been looking for a teacher for a long time. I stumbled across your website and was immediately hooked.The first video of yours I watched taught me more of what it means to play a violin, and play well. I have taken lessons before but didn't think I was learning anything. I was learning to play the basic songs but never learned the importance of the basics techniques of how to hold the violin.

[JAworstnightmare]

Uhmm , I can play sad romance by thao xanh nguyen , but somehow I get nervous whenever I play something . Do you have any advice for people like me who can get songs by the ear , because everytime i listen to something nice , i get it fast on the violin without looking at notes . But I'm still not really that good and I'm having a hard time . So do you have any advice . I can't do vibratos too . Cause I don't understand which part of the arm or hand to move .

[sundaynightdrunk]

@JAworstnightmare Watch all her videos. She covers vibrato at length.

[JAworstnightmare]

@sundaynightdrunk thank you for helping me :3

I am a highschool symphonic player, and i have watched many of your vid. and i knew most of the basics, but this smiply helps re-define any missed points from teachers at school,so thank you for these high quality videos! :D

[maurizs97music]

Hey, thanks a lot for this video, you are an amazing teacher, I have a little question, do you recomend me to use tapes to mark notes, since I´m just beginning, it is very hard for me to find notes, so i get lost :) thank you

[cookie12386]

@SomeAnimeOtaku thanks so much :D

[cookie12386]

@violinlab hi im the sister lol (my brother says its best for me to thanks) we dont have enough money for lessons and my school dosnt have a orchestra (i wish!) but i always make sure to watch your videos 3 times a week and to practice at least 30 minutes a day i love your videos so much, thanks :D

[cookie12386]

i just have to personally say thank you so much for your videos. my little sister has always wanted to play the violin but i could never get her a teacher for pprivate lessons, you have made her not care about those anymore she says you are her teacher. i thank you greatly

[violinlab]

@cookie12386 Aaw. That's very sweet. Tell your sister I'm proud that she calls me her "teacher".

[SomeAnimeOtaku]

@cookie12386 Tell your little sister a random youtuber wishes her tons of luck = D

you're a great teacher. I have learned so much just from watching your videos. Thank you very much for sharing your techniques. God bless you more!

[yatubable]

Great, the basics you give are so important, but generally not well taught. At last, this is clear and understandable! Thank you! ElskeYT

[avaldezr]

[facemanwiththeface]

[llllJAUZllll]

I'm learning a lot with your videos, thanks for upload them!

[gvn933]

such a great teacher! i wish i had you teach me on viola (:

[Gaara7177]

Would I be able to apply these skills to the Viola, or should they be used only for the Violin?

[intothatyeah]

@Gaara7177 These skills are applicable for the Viola, also (:

[violinlab]

@Gaara7177 Absolutely. Viola techniques is 95% the same as violin technique. More than violinists, violists have to rely on the use of a healthy amount of steady bow weight since the strings are thicker and require good sticky contact to make them vibrate well.
