I started playing violin about three years ago. I too, am self taught. My parents didn't have the money for lessons, so KZfaq was my teacher. About two years ago I could finally play a song a the violin. From there on I finally started to get better. I taught myself everything i know about the violin today, and I still have lots to learn, but I wouldn't have done it without the Lord's help, so I use this talent that He has given me to glorify Him. May God bless and protect you. 🙏

The Lord Jesus bless you to increase more and more. Excellent playing.

I picked up violin again after 5 years didn't play. I can relate with you. I started not knowing how to read music and just played by ears. Your progress is great! Just subbed to give you my support. Play skillfully for our Lord, sister. 😊

I absolutely love this! I am a Christian as well and saving up for one

I just started learning and playing piano for the same reason! All things are possible with God and His Spirit so good on you for putting in the hard work and trusting Him to do the rest - God bless (:

Praise the Lord for you my sister in Christ. I wanted to start learning the violin last week and accidentily broke my e-string and have to get it fixed before I start. I want to sing for the Lord my God. Halleluyah!!!

What a blessing you have been, to encourage me---a new (older!) violin student! May the Lord continue to richly and abundantly bless you as you play your violin for Him!

You motive for your diligence isoflavones the highest order - to play our Lord!

Praise be to Father God and our Savior Jesus Christ. Since you've decided to use this for His glory alone, definitely He has showered His Spirit of wisdom on you. Otherwise it would be difficult to achieve shifting and vibrato in 1 year. Let the name of the Lord be glorified. Hallelujah!

Вы очень талантливы! Очень быстро научились хорошо играть... За три месяца научились играть до того уровня, до которого я научилась за три года... Завидую белой завистью! Апплодирую стоя! Очень восхищена вашим упорством и усидчивостью.

I love the violin and I also have blessed with desire to play for Our Lord Jesus as well. I am learning much the same way. I’ve never played any instrument or read music in my life. But I asked The Lord if it is HIS Will….to bless my hands… my mind…and teach me to play for Him. I am no where near you but watching you inspires me to keep practicing and thank the Lord for every new thing He teaches me. Gif bless and keep you …may you always use your precious gift to give back to our Lord.

DO Y'ALL KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET WHERE SHE'S GOTTEN TO IN ONLY ONE YEAR LIKE I-

I am also Christian, and I also wanna learn the violin by myself. Thank u for such inspiration♡ God loves u all

as a Jewish-faithful adult, I'm amazed of the power of your faith. I wish your music reaches heaven

Holy Spirit is definitely with you in this endeavor.

All for the glory of God.

Just started playing two weeks ago. As part of what I think was/is a mid-life crisis, I just went and bought a second-hand violin. The wife ws less than pleased. If I make anything like this progress I'll be well pleased. Super surprised at how uncoordinated I am and at how difficult it is wobble your finger on a string (what people better than me call vibrato). It's great to have videos like this to help set goals and get inspire. Thank you.

I encourage you to study with an excellent teacher. You have potential. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I was really discouraged at first since the violin is such a difficult instrument. But I too want to praise God through the gift of music, and I feel hopeful of the progress that I'm making. All the best to you and God bless always 😊💕

that’s amazing!! also very encouraging to know that you can learn at home…. i love that you’ve dedicated your work to God for His glory! good work!

Girls got a natural talent for learning to play violin fast. Some days she spends 3-5 hours with the violin. Maybe thats why all of us, are lacking behind her. Just wait until she perfect her intonation. She will be good. very good. 😎🇩🇰

So inspiring to see! I've been playing the violin for a year too and I'm completely in love with this instrument!! Thanks for sharing!

Very inspiring! Hard work pays off! Nice to see the improvement each month

Congratulations! Well Done! Keep it up and may God bless you and your loved ones!

This is amazing! I went to violin classes when I was 8 for a year but then stopped (Couldn't afford classes) but instead of practicing like I should have, I stopped. I'm 13 now and was very depressed about not playing anymore but now seeing your video...I want to come back! I wish the Lord will bless me so I can play for him too ♡

Aww wow very inspiring. Love the reason why you wanted to play the violin. All the glory to the Lord.

WOW. You are an inspiration, may Fathers light continue to guide you in all your life

I'm so inspired by your love to God,thank you ,sister.May God bless you.💕

I love the name you chose for you're violin!😍

Its very nice to know you Cathlin I also like to learn how to play the violin thanks for your video God bless you. I'm a Christian as well.

I love how you offer your song for Christ. It shows how much you adore and love Him. I hope you're still playing. You're an inspiration

You're an inspiration, I thought it was too late for me to learn violin, Thank you!

Wonderful! So exciting to hear passion in your playing. I also love the Sacred repertoire. Keep it up!

Wow that's incredible! You are so good. You can be really proud on what you archived by that short time. I want to learn to play the violin, too, but I have no money to spare for a teacher and everybody says it is imposible without a teacher. So your progress showes, it is possible without. Thank you so much for sharing.

May God bless your hardwork..... God honours your hard work... keep it up.

Wow - you've really inspired me! I played violin 5th-12th grade in my school orchestra but never felt I was that good. I still love the violin so much and now I will try to get back to it - I'm 53 years old ;). You've made incredible progress from zero background. Thank you for inspiring me!

Thank you for sharing your violin learning journey- you’ve made some seriously impressive progress in a very short time!🎻

this is so encouraging! thank you! I also want to play in my church, and watching this video reminded me that I play for the Lord and His glory! Amen!

That’s great, good for you..many blessings in your quest 🙏🏻🌹🕊

With God, all is possible :-). Thank you so much for this video. You are a beautiful person. Keep going

Keep it up. He is worthy!

So inspirational and encouraging, looking forward to start my violin lessons this week

One of my main motivations for learning the violin is so that I can play all my favorite hymns I hear at Mass. I love that you picked violin up as a way to give glory to God, he is the best motivation 🙏❤️

Hello you are a great inspiration and blessing for me Amen Amen Amen. God bless you Sister Amen.

Bravo great progress 🤩👏

Your playing is so good! & props to you for learning vibrato early on. I love practicing gospel music, it sounds so beautiful on the viola and violin instruments

I also want to learn to play the violin to play in the choir this was so encouraging

You've convinced me to start playing the violin! I hope I can make the same amount of progress as you

Wow, you have done so well in such a short time. I feel so excited to learn.

sounds amazing after only one year, keep up the great work,,,,

This has given me so much hope (your progress was amazing!) thank you! I am going to get my violin in a few months and self teach! THANKS AGAIN FOR THE INSPIRATION! 😁👍

well done.. Wanted to learn coz want to express for the Lord.. Commendable..

Wow... when I started playing violin for the first time, I usually played for like 15 min. You played OPEN STRINGS for 2 HOURS. It took me about 2 years to play VIBRATO! I played violin for about 4 years now and oh boy I don’t even bother practicing. I just get annoyed but you have the patience to play for 2 HOURS. OMG. I am shook. I have now reached grade 8 but I bet you will reach beyond grade 8 in 2 years. Keep up the hard work, and god bless you all. Stay safe! ♡

Thankyou for encouraging me......

Hi. we have the same religion and same story as well 💙 Im in my 4 years of playing the violin. God bless you always! God is indeed very good.

This is such an encouragement, thank you for sharing :)

Woah that's nice. I'm starting learning violin too and frustrated with the process, and actually considering switching to piano for easier experience. Thank you for your video.

Thank you!!! For giving me hope

Your reason is the same reason why I want to learn. To play for the Lord. 😘❤️👍

Great! You are an inspiration to a lot!

Teacher randy "dyt" bareng was my first piano teacher.. what a small world.. keep playing to the Lord. God bless you..

Praise the Lord 🙏😇

You've inspired me to pick up my violin again.

Blessings.🙏🏽

wow! so awesome you play hymns! thought I was alone here lol. really inspiring. I just struggle remembering all the notes on the violin.

Wow! Im motivated now to continue playing violin

Amazing😍

I began playing the violin two months after my 62nd birthday. I "teach myself." Being both the pupil and the teacher is interesting. I am now 67. I played brass instruments from the age of 8 and studied music at degree level, so although I was a violin 'beginner' I had a big headstart over an absolute beginner - being able to read music notation and knowing how key signatures and scales work removed many complications from the typical beginner's equation. Also, by the time I got to 62 I'd heard quite a lot of music, so I had a clear idea of what I was trying to achieve; it's pointless studying details before you've grasped the overall concept. I was not surprised to discover that playing a violin with good intonation is really difficult - and I mean really difficult - at least, it is for me. Firstly, although I consider myself musically sensitive, I am often a bit slow to determine whether a pitch is slightly sharp or slightly flat. This is a major handicap for a violinist, but wouldn't necessarily be an impediment to an accordionist, percussionist, or a guitarist etc. I use an electronic tuner to check my intonation. One sometimes hear people arguing that using a tuner stops you from relying on your ear - but I would argue that using a tuner helps one to train one's ear so that your ear becomes moe reliable. I also use a metronome; the same logic applies. I wasted many hundreds of hours in the early stages of my violin project by pressing too hard onto the fingerboard. (I even managed to give myself tendonitis in my left-hand first finger.) Learning from KZfaq is all very well, but how can we tell if the teacher is giving us the right advice? Some things a teacher says may be appropriate for students at one level, but less so for students at another level. I got duff advice about 'pressing firmly' from a KZfaq lesson, and only began to correct this mistake after watching a clip of Yehudi Menuhin teaching at his school in Surrey. "Don't press harder than necessary with your left hand fingers," is one piece of advice that I wish I'd had from the outset. Of course, with all instrumental playing, unnecessary tension is to be avoided. I can't afford a teacher I would actually trust. The majority of instrumental teachers are a bit useless IMHO. I was one myself (in four countries) so I consider myself qualified to be scathing. The guy on KZfaq who advocates pressing hard on the strings is an example of disastrous teaching. I practise every day, usually twice - morning and evening. Most people, of whatever age, who take instrumental lessons 'give up' at some point. It takes either monumental amounts of perseverance and patience, or an extraordinary amount of natural flair, to learn to play any instrument well. One needs to have confidence in the learning process, one needs patience with oneself - and one needs self-discipline and dogged determination. When motivation and self-actualisation flags, self-discipline kicks-in. I sometimes find it hard to get started on my daily practise sessions, but once I get going it always proves to be worthwhile. Above all, one must think positively. Negative thinking is the killer. Every time I pick up my violin I try to play better than I've ever played before. Of course, progress is not made in straight lines, but if we practise intelligently and think positively the general trend will be upwards.

Kakainspire po mam iwant to learn how play violin xx

you sounded really good by the 3rd month. nice work!

Amen!!! Amen!!! To God Be The Glory!!!

I noticed your bowing control and after 1 year your intonation and bowing is very exceptional. You must have some experience musicians giving their help in the church. Well done.

2:35 Macguyver theme song. AWESOME - right after the Australian national anthem. Well done!

This is awesome. I’m trying to learn to learn guitar to play in church sometimes. Great job!

Sana oil. :)

Nice! Keep it up!😇

hard work, 2 /3 hours a day, but it is worth, now pleasure is really effective, learning for a faith reason gives really good result. from south west France.

Amen Cath 🙏🏼 more videos pls 👏❤️❤️❤️

Wow you're doing great! Amazing job! I play the ukulele but I'm thinkong of learning how to play the violin as well. Maybe finding your video is a sign that I should get on with it. 😊

I've been trying to teach myself as an adult. I've always played by ear (Amazing Grace was actually the first I tried) with instruments, but I should try learning to read music. I played as a child but I got bored with it because I picked things up fast and we constantly played Mississippi hotdog. I just got one for Christmas but I've not been able to practice much because of my living situation and there's nowhere to go. This does give me inspiration though.

good work

Nice! I started 10 months ago and can't wait to start doing vibrato!

Amazing, thank you for sharing. I’m in my first couple of weeks and need the inspiration :-)
