Done violin for ten years now and this is still useful !

en todo el internet no encontre mejor porfesora que ella y la forma en que enseña sale de su corazon dando lo mejor de si, muchas gracias !!!!!!!!

The comments round about the one minute mark made me feel so much better about learning to play.

Cuanto se aprende con usted, maestra. La mejor en KZfaq. La admiro mucho y seguiré practicando con sus clases.

I think you are referring to the technique of slurring notes together? First play hooked bows. Play the G (down), pause, play A (down), pause, play E (down). THen make the pauses shorter and shorter until you can glue the notes together.

Hi! Beth, I am 42 yrs old and have been "struggling" with my violin learning and playing for nearly 2 yrs. However, it is a struggle that I enjoy and I find your words in most of your videos very encouraging for the adult learner. Keep up the good work! I must compliment you regarding your fantastic ability to drive home a point Although, I have a professional teacher here in Kolkata but he is a very silent guys who demonstrates very well but speaks very less too. Hearing you on you tube clears my thinking about violin play. Thank you very much. Regards

that's got to be the sweetest sounding violin i've heard! beautiful playing!!

I fell in love with her from the first video that I view. Her explanation, simple way of teaching, easy to understand and down to earth personality. I have learn so much just from viewing her videos. Thank you so very much for taking the time to explain and tech us this wonderful and helpful techniques. I have my daughter watch these videos and she has improved a lot. 5/5

All accented bow strokes have varying degrees of attack on the note. We make those "sharp bites" by leaning in to the bow stick by a slight rotation of the upper arm. THe energy is then transferred through the index finger. When you real ease that pressure the bow sill scoot along at a higher speed. Tha'ts what makes the accent. I have other videos on all types of bow strokes at ViolinLab(dot)com.

I'm learning a lot with your videos, thanks for upload them!

@Gaara7177 Absolutely. Viola techniques is 95% the same as violin technique. More than violinists, violists have to rely on the use of a healthy amount of steady bow weight since the strings are thicker and require good sticky contact to make them vibrate well.

Very helpful, clear and concise instructions, very beautiful playing as well! Thanks!

Thank you so much! My tone quality improved so much after watching this!

Thanks so much for these videos. Some of the most clear explanations I've seen.

Thank you so much! What you said use more of the bow suddenly bright me up,within one min I play much better than several days blind practice ! Really thank you!

Thank you very much for your incredible videos!!! You're a phenomenol teacher too!

I wish you were my violin teacher

You're just a amazing teacher! Nice Job, very helpful! Thanks vey much.

suas explicações são lindassss. o domínio e virtude incomparável. gosto muito de seus vídeos. muito obrigado por compartilhar tamanho conhecimento.

Muy bueno, gracias por sus consejos, muy profesionales y técnicos, ayudan mucho a quienes somos sólo aficionados al violín y la simpatía de la profesora es maravillosa, de nuevo gracias.

That's is that song called "Sad Violin" or "Sad Romance" on KZfaq. I have a beginning tutorial on it, which you can find here on my channel.

Awesome lesson, many thanks!

Beautiful! Thank you!

Marcato on the violin is produced by an abrupt attack to the note, followed by a fast bow speed. THe ending of the note depends on the note value (length) and style of the piece. It can be lifted or stopped on the string.

Maravilhoso vídeo com tradução no idioma português parabéns pelas postagens

Thank you Beth.

Thank very much🙆😄😃

Thank you so very much *.*

great video! I've been struggling to bow until the frog for years and your practice to hold the bow in the middle and bowing to the frog is GENIUS!!

OK, thank you very much :)

thank you!!

Thanks!

I am a Learner Violinist. Your videos are so helpful. Thank you. Hugs, Love and Kisses from Mauritius.

THANK U SOOO MUCHH!!!!

mam thank u for this lesson..

Thank you so much, only been playing for about a year and when I actually force myself to use the whole bow, I actually sound good! Also for me, the frog to half of the length of the bow is what i have a habit of using. I feel the frog is easier to control and when I get to the tip i kinda wobble. Also I think the frog part makes it sound the most beautiful and deep. Thank you so much for these FREE lessons!

Thank you Mam your lessons are very much wonderful

I love her

You are such an angel to share this information with us. Thank you very much. You would be surprised how many people are unwilling to share their skills with a fellow musician. Thank you again.

thx for your advice :D i will always told myself to use 10% more bow to play a single note :D

thanks

Very impressive & helpful tutorials. Thank you.

great

Try raising standing tall, raise your chest up to flatten the violin, then think of bowing "left" rather than "up".

muito Obrigado! estou amando e aprendendo bastante com os seus vídeos. :)

Thank you so much for your videos!!! I have been playing for 13 months now (self-study via KZfaq), and I find them very helpful!!! Thank you for the wonderful tutorials & I hope someday to play as beautifully as you do!!!! :)

You are very pretty and explanation violin very well. Nice a day to you!

Great lesson! I've learned so much from you videos!

@cookie12386 Aaw. That's very sweet. Tell your sister I'm proud that she calls me her "teacher".

Thank you for your very helpful and informative videos!

the ease of doing vibrato on guitar doesn't do anything for the violin its completely different but again u are an amazing teacher!! i am going to soak up as much as i can from u! i do have a question tho... i paid 200 dollars for my violin and im wondering if that was a mistake? if i would have known that i was instantly going to fall in love with the instrument i probably would have invested more lol either way its good enough for now as long as i can get this bow to stop bouncing!! grrrrr :)

"More cowbell, more cowbell!", exclaimed Will Ferrell.

Any tips on how to play Vibrato? I have been wracking my brain trying to learn it but I don't know if the neck needs to be cleaned from putting the beginner sticker marks on it, and if so, I don't know what kind of product to clean it to the point of it being slick enough to do vibrato. I have heard so many things about vibrato but none of them are making sense to me.

i've been playing guitar forever and spontaneously bought a violin two days ago and u are the coolest woman on the planet in my eyes right now is all i have to say thanks for putting urself out there for guys like me cause u are really an amazing violinist and u articulate ur knowledge with such fluency its really a pleasure to learn from u and ur a beautiful woman as well which is just a bonus :) ur awesome thank u tonnes and i love u lol

holy cow you're right I only use the top like 1/3 of my bow

Hello. Am i to assume that using more bow and playing the same notes and tune actually means that you must be bowing faster? Will you reach a limit to the speed acceptable and is it the bow speed and nothing else that is improving the quality of the sound? Jeff

Profesora muchas felicidades,mejor consejo no podría haber,créame que realmente estoy aprendiendo mucho,su canal me ha ayudado en mi aprendizaje y es uno de los mejores que he encontrado. Por favor siga poniendo subtítulos en español. Gracias.

Amazing class!

Espectacular.gracias

Would I be able to apply these skills to the Viola, or should they be used only for the Violin?

I love this technique!

Hey, thanks a lot for this video, you are an amazing teacher, I have a little question, do you recomend me to use tapes to mark notes, since I´m just beginning, it is very hard for me to find notes, so i get lost :) thank you

Excellent lesson!

Excellent. Very helpful. Thank you.

@Gaara7177 These skills are applicable for the Viola, also (:

😍

I am a beginner violin player and I learned a lot from your video...Thank you.

I had trouble going back to playing after not playing for over 20 years. I studied up to the 9th position. but now I want to start again. you have brought back lessions I might have taken for granted. thank you for giving me the courage to do so.

love u

You know what the melody you were playing it sounded like the sailor moon them or song!!!^0^

Great advice!

Great videos! I'm from Brazil and i also play violin. Thank's to share your knowledge! :-)

Very helpful. Thanks!!!!!

which microphone using for recording

ADMIRABLE PLAYING...

I only realized using more bow depending on what piece I am playing and yes by playing meditation from Thais. The only problem I am facing now is my bow jumping towards the frog :(

Useful lesson thanks

i am beginning to play the violin have not got a teacher as of yet but i am having trouble doing the beats and playing the violin at the same time what i was wondering if i could play from tip to frog if this would be four beats i need to find a way to do both trying to figure it out

i noticed that your left thumb is hidden while playing. i saw other violinists with their thumbs sticking out. which is the correct one? thanks

Marcato . How would I play those? I also play the baritone and I find it easier to play it one that but when I play it on my violin, I feel like it's not right. Also the accent with a line above, I'm not sure what's it called. I'm really not sure how to play it. It's like a lift with the bow and a heavy tone. Can you please reply? thank you

@violinlab can u teach me how to hold properly the violin without a shoulder rest??? im only a beginner :D
