Simple, well explained and filmed video. Thank you for filming and sharing. ❤

I found this video incredible insightful regarding how to practice. I am an amateur cellist taking lessons, and have occasionally studied violin. I am just realizing how critical it is to play repetitions with highest quality to avoid training mistakes. Thank you for making this video and sharing it. ❤

This gives me so much hope as I started as 10.5 year old..love your passion and progress and your Bach at the end was AMAZING!!🩵

I have had online tutorials and some good teachers too but I place your tutorials at the top of my favorite list for usefulness ,practicality and for your talent in explaining things thoroughly and clearly! Thank you so much Sophie!

Thank you Sophie, I find you here, please making these videos , I need it so badly , violin is so hard and I need guidance thank you again and again

Thank you so much Sophie, your tips are great, I am self taught , can you do a string crossing slur , in a bunch of notes in one bow in a small hand. It is really a killer, it is always not clean , uneven because I can't stretch , I really appreciate if you can help out

Thank you for the lesson. It means a lot to me start learning violin at 58 yo. 😁😁😁

That was so beautiful. and so help full , listening to you play. always takes , my mind to a beautiful , mountain, of green grass and bright spring flowers, and makes me wish that, my violin playing was, even half as good as yours. from Murray inNewZealand

Very very good 💯😊

Thank you for the lesson.

Is there any exercise to play distinctly one string?

How to ensure my bow is on one string only?

Excellent tutorial!

Well explained. Thanks 👍❤️

you know youre good when your practice sounds musical

I’m just learning this before my nine birthday which is the date of the concert any tips?

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Great video!! I'm also doing the Wieniawski!

Brava! Very clear and very well done

Hi! I really would like to thank you. I'm a major in music too and I started in my teens, not a kid definitely. I work hard to build up my violin, history, composition, piano everyday. Sometimes I feel I'm not enough...won't hide that the reason is the toxic environment at conservatory. I feel like you are creating a healty, peaceful, quiet place where anyone can talk about their own struggles and being understood. Thank you so much I appreciate so much your contents!

thank you

Shifting excersise kinda sus ngl xD

WOOHOOOOO!

I LOVE YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY! Thank you all so much for sharing. An Asian parents' loving concerns for their child is so powerful and needs to be handled wisely - ah and I see the wisdom of your parents translate into how you BEAUTIFULLY play as a musician Sophie #iamasuperfanofurfamily YOU ALL STRENGTHEN AND ENCOURAGE ME! Sending lots of love 💌!!!

I am from India I also want your teaching is very beautiful. And I also student

Hi,Sohhi how often you practice long tone Your tone it good

how many hours do you practice? i cant do more than 45 minutes to an hour tops at one time, but i try to do this 3 times a day.

The thing with music is people don’t view it as a career, they view it as just a side gig or hobby while they pursue more realistic careers such as healthcare career, which I don’t know how they pursue anything other than music, because there’s only a slim chance you’ll make it big in music. Or they view it as something you can teach yourself through books and internet and you don’t need to go to college for it. So they pursue another field or get a day job while they pursue music on the side, which I still don’t know how people pursue other fields when music is their main skill. With me, I pursued computer science instead of music and I stopped ultimately because coding was just not music, I thought I could relate computer science to music theory but you just can’t, they are different fields. Computer science is all about coding and algorithms and that requires a totally different brain. With fields like medicine however, there are specific requirements to become a doctor, ie college then medical school. You can’t be a self taught doctor, but you can be a self-taught guitarist/musician. Also, sorry I deleted my comment but you gave me advice on what to do besides music and you said if I remember that it doesn’t matter what field you pursue but the commitment you make and the challenging of yourself to go through some rigorous education.

Powerful testimony to a great personal challenge! You told it honestly and believably. I love your assessment at the end of the process, of your elation and despair, your motivation levels and the shifting quality of your practice. Your advice to pick up and move on. Your mom's wisdom. This is a brilliant and tangibly human description of how your serious challenge actually went. You seized it! Thank you for sharing your valuable experience. I would have been interested to know how you organized your work each day... or perhaps that was something that evolved over time for you, depending on what you set out to work on and learn, and accomplish. Brava to you! Simon Fischer has a beautiful practice flow chart, full of balloons and arrows going everywhere, that I adapted and added to, to include those often ignored aspects of musicianship, of playfulness, improvisation and even composition. I like to impart this total approach of practice to my students. But have I taken on such a 1000 hr practice challenge for myself? Not yet!! You've inspired me!

Well explained fundamental guidance 👌Helpful in my violin studies at the age of 71. Thanks.

I love your videos Sophie! I've been here off and on for a while and you inspire me a lot. I'm a teenage violinist and I've been on the extremely difficult journey of finding the right equipment to play comfortably, but I'm finally able to! I'm excited to get more serious about my playing. I'm my church's violinist and I want to join an orchestra at some point. I'm gonna be using your teaching videos a lot. Btw, congrats to you and your fiancé!

Thanks, great exercises

Thank you for sharing 🙏have a good day🌈Sophie

What is the quality of the wood on this Fesley violin? Especially with the finger board. Or is it mystery a material that is made to look like wood, like some cheap instruments?

I am a freshly graduate student from high schoo with 9 years of playing the violin. Some of my friends are in college right know. Is it to late to major music college or wait for another year? Im lost of how college work

Dear Sophie you are a great teacher. I love your precise and well presented lessons.

plsss the confident flourish

I noticed you played Kreutzer #9 in first position. In my Schirmer edition, it is fingered in 2nd position. Was that planned to leave out the 1st finger, or did you make an error with the fingering?

Thankyou Sophie! This video was very helpful to me and has really refined my practice routine.

algorithm blessed me w this one 🙏🏾

Please show when where you shift.

Good demo with music score. Thank you.

I'm 21, and after 2 failed college tries, Psychology and Computer Science (yes, i really don't know what to do with my life), i went to Economics. I'm on the 4th semester, and so far, i don't hate it, i actually like it a little. But i have that feeling that my heart doesn't belong there. I often get caught thinking about music, getting extremely excited just because i heard a new music that i loved, or i learned a difficult song on the guitar. Currently, i plan to find a job in my area so i can buy things that i need, like a new guitar, a better smartphone, and get a driver's license. I don't consider myself young for a music carrer, but i intend to try and pursue something in this area. No matter how much i have to go through, like spend hours a day on a job that i don't love just so i can buy an amplifier for my new guitar. I want to feel like i have a better purpouse than just graduate, work and spend money. I lost 3 years of my life due to depression, mainly about carrer's choice. I don't want to lose more.

Thank's😊

thanks! love this video

I'm 62 and I just started learning violin after playing guitar for a few years. It's starting to sound less like a tortured cat

Wow. This has been missing.

YAYAYAYAY

Hiii Sophie! So glad to have met you! Wonderful solo btw 🙌
