Hi Beth, I was just wondering if you knew that lesson 7 and lesson 62-A are the same video? They're the video about tuning the violin in fifths. Perhaps there is a reason for this? If there is forgive my ignorance. Sean |

I thought the newbie wannabes might aspire to join these people. I wish I knew about them when I used to live in Edinburgh. I remember being a second violins first desk, no less, in my tiny junior high school orchestra. I suppose we were pretty bad but we didn't care and I had a hoot playing in it. A friend has seen them play and claims that they truly deserve their name, but they do look like they are having a very good time! |
My 12 yr old daughter and I playing Connaughtman's Rambles, just having fun. Thought I'd share it. Sounds pretty good because she was closest to the speaker!! She is hard to keep up with, but fun when we can turn out a tune together :) |
Hello, first time poster here! I have an 1870 German violin modelled on a Steiner/Stainer however the fingerboard angle is too low and it is unplayable above 5th position, but it is in mint condition otherwise. I will need to get another one but if trade it in I probably won't get much compared to what I paid for it.... Plus I am kind of attached to it :D I was thinkning about possibly putting gut strings on it and using it as a baroque violin for somthing interesting... The tailpiece has been changed to take ball end strings and I havge a fine E adjuster so that could be removed, but would it just be a case of putting gut strings on it? ALso would you have to tune the E with the peg? I don't think you can have fine adjusters with gut strings?? At least I now know about why I was finding iit hard to play in high positions... Curretnly I'm very sad at it not being my main instrument as it is really lovely instrument but there we go. Maybe it can live on! Alll suggestions welcome! I am also impressed by people recording themselves here and hope to do so myself at some point. Thanks! |

Feel good moment # 264: (pleasae don't read this as bragging because that's not the intent) I started to play with a church consort and tonight was the second piece i'm playing with them. Its all beginners of several different instruments. the director, who also plays cello asked me to play the solo part which is intended for someone else. I made it through the whole part and surprisingly did pretty well. At the end, everyone clapped. I was shocked. After rehearsal, on the way out, someone said. "I can't wait until I can play as good as you someday." I never thought that would ever happen. Maybe I Am making some progress. :) |

Hello! I have a quick question (since there are so many videos on here!) about tone quality on the D string. I dont know if I am just worn out or what (Holy week coming up, lots of musical needs), but lately my tone quality is in the gutter on that string. Are there any videos that address tone quality on the lower strings? Advice? If so, can someone direct me? Thank you Beth for the wonderful website, and to the rest of the community, thank you for posting. This is the first place I feel comfortable enough to ask because everyone seems so friendly! |

Wow, I never realized how much you can learn from recording your own practice. I will have to do it more often. The out of tune notes make me cringe. Thanks for taking the time to listen. After watching and listening a few times I see that I have to work on: INTONATION, timing, subdividing, articulation and of course the ever present death grip. I realize there is a lot more to work on than those listed above, they're just the ones that jumped out at me. I played Judas Maccabeus twice hoping the second time would be an improvement. I started practising that song yesterday and Red Rose this afternoon. |

Hi Everyone; Not everything goes according to plan as you will see, I just had to include it for completions sake. Beth, when I started, you said to treat it like a syllabus, not check anything and start at the beginning. I have been doing that, but the next piece is May Song on your list, but O Come Little Children in the book. I know that you kept 'B' for last with twinkle, and maybe you have a reason for May Song before O Come Little Children. Should I start with May Song? I still include all the previous songs in my practice routine. Here's Go Tell Aunt Rhody: |
