hi ive just got my violin and after watching all your lessons ive learnt so much, youve really helped, thankyou, are you doing anymore lessons please

[Zclipse]

@janbakayi Yes I will be adding a few more lessons to YouTube, but I can't give ALL of them away for free, unfortunately. For a long time I've only had the first 5 lessons on here, but I recently added Lesson 6 and I may be adding 4 more lessons soon so that I will have my first 10 lessons available to watch on here for free : )

thank you Zclipse

I really would play violin but I'm a leftie (left hand player) and difficult to find appropriate violin for me.

so could you please help me what I have to do and how can I start learn?

looking for your advice...!!

thank you again for your lessons.

[Zclipse]

@ml07k - You don't need a special violin. Most left handed people learn to play the violin the exact same way as people who are right handed. You will have a little bit more trouble with learning to use the bow, but you will have an advantage with your left hand technique since that is your dominant hand. There are left handed violins out there, but I don't recommend them because then you'll never be able to play in a group as you won't fit in with everyone else.

I have been teaching violin to elementary students grades 4-6 for 20 years. I will share this video instruction with them. Outstanding presentation and great teaching!

[Zclipse]

Thank you so much!!

I like your lessons. They are exactly what some beginner needs: simple, clear, easy to understand- and most importatnt- they are focused on topic! Thank you. Keep going like that.

I am getting my first violin for Christmas this year and am so excited. I am 20 years old and I've never even held one before but have always wanted to learn. I'm going through and watching all of your videos and plan to do so continuously once I get it. Thank you so much and wish me luck! I'll be posting videos of my progress. <3

I'm very impressed with what I've seen of your lessons on You Tube!

So impressed in fact that I intend to buy the entire set of DVD's you've made,

I also intend to tell my son and my sister about them as well since both of them have just recently begun studying the violin and have been struggling in areas that you address in your lessons.
