I am 74 years old and have been playing mandolin, banjo and mountain dulcimer. I've been playing violin for 3 weeks. I have a teacher who is helping but I must say that your videos are VERY valuable to me. I always feel like I should be playing "well" in a very short period of time, but this is proving to be a great challenge for me. Other instruments came a lot easier in learning. I am already indebted to you and spend a lot of the evenings watching and listening. Thank you for this great work.

Today is my first day practicing without stickers... it's kind of scary but I think I really have to train my ears and my muscles rather than my eyes and this vid is definitely helpful! Thank youuuuuu!

Always a pleasure seeing Miss Lee,Great Teacher and Human Being.

Bought a violin, got a teacher, and I use KZfaq for lessons and songs for all my music. Found you here and am enjoying your lessons very much. Have a Great day! Greg

Very sound teaching.

Thank you

So professional

Fantastic lesson! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for the video lesson!

Thats the reason wy I like to play the violin, because it isn't easy... Thank you so much Joy! God bless you and Happy New Year 😎

I just started learning violin, and your videos are so helpful!

I like music 🎶

I really appritiate how you give instructions, such as lifting the elbow to make the bow lighter on the up bow, and also explaining why we should do that. It makes it much easier for me to under why I should do things a certain way. You are an exellent teacher!

Thanks

Maintaining the position of the bow on the contact point can be a little too much on the first try, with the constant adjustment on the wrist and the arm. So we can divide the bow into virtual 4 parts: The middle part of the bow 3:00 The tip/upper half 4:42 Lower half 5:49

Very well put! Thank you!

Love it thanks a lot.

Great, thanks

Love your demonstrations. BIG thank you🌹👌🏾

Superjoy, thank you so very much!!! Always so helpful!

Little she knew what 2020 was going to be.

This is my favorite violin learning/tips channel

Amazing tuition, thank you! 🎻

I have been doing that left hand exercise since I first saw this video many months ago but instead of slurring, I usually play it detache to help improve the coordination of a bowing right hand and fingering left hand and concentrating on when to move the finger to the fingerboard (a nanosecond ahead of the bow movement). great exercise! thanx.

Thank you Joy for another wonderful video 🙂🙂 Please take care

This is such a brilliant video in so many ways! Thank you for giving me the pefect warm up - no longer will I go sraight to playing scales in a mindless unfocused way!

Happy New Year Teacher.Thank you for your valuable useful information.

Thank you, Joy! I am an adult beginner and I have been looking for a good warm up -- this is wonderful :-)

Thank you for the detailed instruction! I've taking lessons for 3 months and didn't know about having to lift the elbow with wrist when bowing

You are delightful! I would love to have you as my teacher.

Just started and I try to do things I will need that make me comfortable doing things with the violin like moving hand and arms, holding the violin while moving hands and arm, I use an unrosined synthetic hair bow I don't want to hear it, most of it is mechanical because I believe if the mechanics are natural, (hands, elbows, holding, movements, etc) you can easily make adjustment when things aren't working or follow lesson advise. My warmup: I do vibrato on all string while bowing, I do quick 'scale' (pure mechanical I don't care about notes) on every string at 1st, maybe 3rd position, on some of this concentrating on the push, pull, wrist bow action, I bow all the time and always monitor both elbows and string crossing as I change strings, I go to max position and do an arpeggio which I expect will help me become comfortable holding the violin this is the most awkward position and balance and I have to rotate the neck slightly to free my elbow, arpeggios at 0 and 3rd position, shifting full octave scale where I try to play the right notes, Heifetz 1 finger per string lifting 1 finger at a time exercise, given by someone with Boston Symphony that worked with him, at nut and max position.

could you make a video showing the proper angles that the horsehair should be pulled along the strings. for example, do you ever hold the hair flat against the strings or do you always tilt the bow so that the hairs on the side closer to the fingerboard are making most of the contact? - are there different angles for different techniques or desired sounds? thanks

please, could you include links to the examples from Shradieck, etc. for left hand?

That's Great

New Subscriber here!!!

A good way to practice open strings is to play the opening of Anton Berg violin concerto!?

Hi. I love your videos. They are so helpful. I hope you are safe during this time. I have a question, I have been playing for a few months now and I want to know when is the time to get rid of the stickers. Thank you.

Hello am a fan of your lessons , if I may ask how can one train playing violins with the left hand without looking at the strings

Looking for a professional violin and viola can you help me

Happy 2020!
