I just practiced this piece with my new Arcus bow, and I must say that my dynamic gets more improved! I love the bow and recommend it to everyone (to you too :D ) although one needs time to get used to this bow due to its lightness and feel. I played along with you in ur video, thank youuuuuu

[vanezcha]

hi allyson, do ur kids also play violin?

[AllysonsViolinStudio]

@vanezcha - No - they went in completely different directions! They're good singer-songwriters, but work in other fields.

[vanezcha]

@AllysonsViolinStudio ahhhhh pityy! If i was ur daughter i would be taught by you and be a virtuoso :D

[AllysonsViolinStudio]

@vanezcha - aw, that's a lovely thought!

[vanezcha]

MOMMMYYYYYYYY! TIS ONE IS A DISASTERRR! :'(

[AllysonsViolinStudio]

Alright - I just managed to delete a comment I was attempting to reply to - rats!! Re bowing in (I believe) this piece, bar 6 - there are several editions of the Suzuki violin school books, and each one has some changes to the bowings. If you are playing from a different edition than me (likely the newest one) - I may do the odd thing that is different. Just do what your teacher says or what is in your book - ultimately not critical, but potentially confusing, I know.

Thank you so much for this video! I'll be doing this one in the next lesson. The slower version is very helpful, thank you! xx

[hossein1326]

Allyson, thank you for what you posted. you rock.

I can use your knowledge to improve my playing.

[VladislavGomulka]

Thank you for the best free lessons on You Tube. It helpss me much. You tell me much more than my famous violin teacher.

[Jordanboadi123]

Hello Allyson, I continue to watch your videos and I wonder how you are able to get a crisp, clear sound. Can you please give me some advice? By the way, your videos are great

[AllysonsViolinStudio]

@Jordanboadi123 - hmmm - crisp clear sound on the video comes from a good mic - and mine is the Zoom Q3 or something of the sort - it's not nearby or I'd check. On the violin, start by insisting that your bow hand master the art of really solid stop-bows (staccato), which is pretty much the basis of your bowing technique (well - according to me...) Good luck!

[jjiwonkim]

Your videos help me soo much!..Thank you!!! I take private lessons and i am on Minuet in G actually, and im watching this video because i want to be ready for it! This song is like the longest (with the repeats) in the volume 2 book of Suzuki, again, Thank you so much, i hope you have more videos!!! And i have one question: Do you play Suzuki book 7?

[AllysonsViolinStudio]

@jjiwonkim - Thank you! I don't have much up yet for book 3, that will be my next thing to work on after the summer holidays. And I do play book 7, I think I learned up to book 8 and then switched to studying individual pieces with a non-Suzuki teacher. Long time ago!

[mountainmaureen]

Allyson, thank you soooo much for these wonderful videos! I am a 60 year old adult and have been playing for a little over a year. I have just finished book 2. You and others on YouTube are my only teachers, so I would love it if you would do more videos from Suzuki Book 3. You are such an inspiration to me and the videos have helped me more than you will ever know!

[serene424]

This clip is very helpful . Thank you soo much!

[parmisazm]

Allyson, I just wanted to say Thank You so much,, You're amazing, I'v got inspired by your videos and that made me continue to play violin every day. I've just started suzuki 4, please make more videos on those..

Bless you and best wishes to you

Parmiss

[AllysonsViolinStudio]

@parmisazm - I'm so glad you're getting inspired! It's always more fun when you have someone to play with. Do you mean Book 4?

[parmisazm]

@AllysonsViolinStudio Yes, I meant book 4.. Thanks again :)

[wizardnaruto]

I'm practicing this piece . Thank you :D

[AnimalFreaak]

I really wish I could play as well as you :\

[AllysonsViolinStudio]

@AnimalFreaak - it takes time, very frustrating I know! But you can have fun and make good music at every level of ability on your way there, so pay attention to details and feel your phrases - that's the secret to playing beautifully whatever your level.

[AnimalFreaak]

@AllysonsViolinStudio Yeah, I was wondering, can you make a video on finger placement, if you already haven't? I have a difficult time figuring out if my finger is positioned correctly or not. I have finger tapes on my acoustic violin, but not my electric one, and I usually play my electric one. Do you think I should practice more on my acoustic one first?

[AllysonsViolinStudio]

@AnimalFreaak - a video on finger placement is a good idea, I've added it to my list. I think it's fine to play your electric, but producing a good sound on an accoustic is usually more difficult, which means that you will more likely go further in your skill-development if you make sure that you play accoustic occasionally and can get a great sound on it as well as your electric.

[AnimalFreaak]

@AllysonsViolinStudio Thank you :)
