Return to the violin after 5 months off
Просмотров 7 тыс.Год назад
After 1 year of learning violin, I stopped for 5 months. What's it like going back to it after so much time away? Well... This was filmed back in fall/winter of 2021. Why did I stop playing? We all have our reasons...I was too busy, it's a frustrating instrument to learn (SO MANY SQUEAKS), etc. What matters is picking it back up and continuing. Keep at it, friends. We'll get there. Someday.

    Great progress, keep it up. I’ve been playing for 32 years (since I was 8) and it’s easy to forget how difficult it is to learn an instrument. My eldest daughter has recently started (10) and this is a great way to track progress, as she sometimes finds she’s not improving but she really is little by little. I’ll need to start filming her!

But still I am working on it coz whenever I transition the bow, it out of tunes😅 Now, I believe I am gonna make it!😊

I sucked at it but now I see all the things I do right on guitar, all that I have learned by myself and I think it'll help me keep trying so I want you to do the same! It's all practice in music. When we start learning a new instrument we feel like it isn't our thing but by the track of time you'll be more and more proud of your progress. I hope that this feeling may help you continue and never give up! (Btw sorry if I missed a gramatical mistake, spanish is my first language)

      @@MishaSkripach I appreciate all of the comments and time you have spent on my channel! I have nothing to prove to you, nor do I owe you any explanation about my life, my accomplishments, or my aspirations with music. It seems you are out to convince many people that they should not attempt to play violin as an adult, which is antithetical to the purpose of my RUclips channel. I'm afraid that your attempt at "putting people in their place" comes across as judgmental of their own journeys, and I do not support that. Many people have many different goals with learning, and I have just accomplished a big one of mine! :) So, I will keep playing, and continue improving, and I wish you the best.

    This was really enjoyable to watch, squeaks and all! Having some musical training already was definitely an advantage for you. I started playing cello at 10, but I had an easier time of it than others in my section because I played piano since 5, so I already knew to how read music and had an ear for absolute and relative pitch. One thing that stuck me watching this is just how much your bow hold improved just in the first month! Trying to learn "The Swan" was an ambitious goal for a beginner. After a year, your technique was definitely improved. Achieving clean string crossings and good tone when changing bow strokes is a never ending battle. Warming up with ten minutes of scales and arpeggios really helps. Keep at it! 😀

      @@MishaSkripach OK, Debbie Downer. You’re a bit salty for my liking, but I’ll answer for the sake of anyone else reading the comments that’s curious. Elitist gatekeeping isn’t the right way to preserve classical music and encourage the next generations of players. I say absolute pitch in the sense of knowing when one is in key. For instance, the modern standard for what an orchestra tunes to is A - 440 hertz. It’s unusual even for musicians to be told, sing an F# and they’re spot on. That’s perfect pitch, which I have, although I have to focus hard in order to use it. It comes more easily to some. And relative pitch is simpler. A listener might hear an A and not realize it’s an A, but it’s much easier to recognize hearing intervals like minor and major thirds, perfect fifths, etc.
