Wohlfahrt Violin Etude no.3 - G Major (Technical Tuesdays)

Tuesdays we explore pieces for technique development - the foundation for all solid musical skill. The Wohlfahrt violin etudes are great for beginner through intermediate players to study intonation and bow technique.

On studying the violin, Franz Wohlfahrt says this:
"The study of the violin presents certain difficulties for beginners which are frequently the cause of a sudden abatement in the pupil's zeal and ambition, even before he has mastered the first rudiments.
The blame for this is commonly laid on the teacher, who is called incapable or negligent; losing sight of the fact that the pupil began his studies without the slightest notion, not merely of the difficulties to be encountered, but also of the regular and assiduous industry indispensable for surmounting them.
It is important, therefore, to smooth these first asperities by showing their utility and making them agreeable; to this end my Violin Method was published and the present Exercises have been written, which latter may be considered as forming a supplement to the former.
If practiced carefully and intelligently, they will serve as a solid foundation for the technique of any player ambitious to become an artist."

I’ll be picking up my rented violin and book on Saturday and can’t wait to start practicing!! I‘ve been watching your videos (especially the beginner lessons) for the past few weeks and I’m sure they‘ll be of great help once I get started!!
Thank you for creating these videos :)

Thank you. That's very nice to hear!
I haven't done anything geared toward new beginners for a while so if you have any questions or requests please let me know.

If a Wohlfahrts in a forest but nobody's around to hear it, is it still in G Major?
