To view all of my violin videos, listed by technique, see my Playlist section. Make sure you click on SEE ALL PLAYLISTS, since Youtube only allows three to be presented on my channel. You can also visit http://virtualviolin.blogspot. com where Al Justice has organized my violin videos by difficulty instead of by technique (as my playlists do).

Todd Ehle is a professor of violin at Del Mar College, a Junior College in Corpus Christi, TX, where he has taught students of all ages and abilities for the past 9 years. Before arriving in TX, Mr. Ehle taught violin at the Wausau Conservatory of Music, a community music school located in Wausau, WI. Todd spent seven years studying with Professor Richard Fuchs at the University of Northern Colorado. Mr. Fuchs is a protege' of Paul Rolland (a Hungarian-Born violinist and formerly professor at the University of Illinois. Rolland authored 'The Teaching Of Action In String Playing' - much of which influences Todd's videos).
Todd spent four months working with William Starr, renowned Suzuki pedagogue and author of 'The Suzuki Violinist'. Following his work with Mr. Starr, Todd spent a year with Margery Aber, founder of the American Suzuki Institute in Stevens Point, WI.
Todd attended the Eastman School of Music (did not graduate) where he was a student of Catherine Tait, the Meadowmount School (student of Kevin Lawrence) and the Bowdoin Music Festival, where he studied with Lewis Kaplan. He was also a long-time student of both Harold Wippler (former concertmaster of the Denver Symphony and teacher of Eugene Fodor) and Ernest Papavasillion (former violinist with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, NYC). Todd would also like to give credit to his first violin teacher, Mrs. pat Zick, who put up with him for so many years, and also taught him so much in the process!
***Possible interest to students of violin pedagogy (and TOO MUCH INFORMATION to others); Todd's teachers have a very interesting "family tree". As mentioned before, Fuchs was as student of Rolland, who studied with Imre Waldbauer. Waldbauer was a student of the great Hungarian violinist, Jeno Hubay.
Suzuki was a student of the German violin pedagogue, Karl Klingler. Klingler studied with the great Hungarian-born violinist Joseph Joachim (Brahms dedicated his violin concerto to Joachim).
Harold Wippler studied with Efram Zimbalist who was a pupil of the great Leopold Auer (also Hungarian, but the head of the famous 'Russian school' of violin and teacher of Heifetz, Elman and Milstein) and Todd's teacher, Ernest Papavasillion, was a pupil of Raphael Bronstein, also a pupil of Leopold Auer.
Tait, Lawrence and Kaplan all were students of Ivan Galamian (teacher of Perlman, Zuckerman, Chung and so many more) Galamian's "tree" can be traced all the way back to both Vivaldi and Corelli.

HI Professor T,
I have a question. How does scale books help improve my skills? I've been playing for three years now but I haven't tried any scales yet.

thankyou your site is very helpful best wishes
LaLaLoveMusic | July 12, 2008
Hello I'd just like to say your videos are very good and I've learnt a lot just by watching a few of them.
I teach myself the violin and I'm doing grade 7 now and I have come across a symbol which I don't know how to play. It's like a diamond shape and is put on the stave (like a note is) with another one. (so a bit like double stopping but instead the note head is a diamond) and it kind of makes a squeak version of that note. I was just wondering if you could help me by maybe telling me what it is - if you can understand what I'm on about.
Thanks. :)

j12torts | July 03, 2008
hi professorv..now i'm gna be honest...i havent practiced my violin properly but i have learnt a lot from your lessons. i have one request though, do you think you can post a video of you playing Fritz Kreisler's Praeludium und Allegro and address the main parts where you think students will have problems. I for sure is having a tough time with this piece especially the 3rd part....thanks a lot keep up the good work you are doing.

Hello, my name is Cibeles. I am from Argentina. Ive been playing violin for 2 years and a half now, and its been dificult because we do not have many teachers in my town, the ones we have usually teach oly for 15 minutes or an hour with another people. Ive been satudying with a music teacher. He is really good, he teachs me all about music, reading, composing... he plays viola da gamba. Our classes last one hour and a half may be longer.
I wanted to say that as he couldnt explain me how to do vibrato on the violin your videos helped me a lot. Im practising now, but its hard.
Thank you very much

Hi, prof. V,
Tanks a lot for your videos. You might be teacher, whom I searched for a long time. I've studied violin for eight years, but after viewing your lessons, it seems like to that I've wasted such long time with wrong teacher. So I decided to abandon him and to practice your teaching by
myself. I'm very grateful to you. If you visit Italy, don't hesitate to contact me.
