Thank you for this video ❤
Even tho i just play piano, u make me happy, and there r lessons to b learned outside of violin
You know these lessons changed the direction my violin playing has gone. I have found a new love for my instrument and am working on making a career for it. Teaching has always been a passion of mine I think I will try that. Is there any advice to get from such a great teacher of music? Thank you for helping me get better though you could never have known it.
These RUclips video lessons are still tough for me because I can't look into my student's eyes and see how much good they're doing, so thank you so much for your comment! There are "Lessons for Teachers" from The Romantic School of Music. I may have to retrofit them for the internet and give a couple of those a try. ???
@@kevinleeluthier yes please!
Is the metronome video out yet? I can’t seem to find it
Hello! I love your lessons. Where do I find the flashcards? Thank you!
The Flashcards are at The Romantic School of Music .com = bottom center of the home screen, or:

Love the look and sound of your violin. Is it an antique or a newer brand?
The violin in this video is "The Gypsy." = a few years old. There are a few pictures of her at www.kevinleeluthier.com/violins/Gypsy/Gypsy_Violin.htm
Is there a viola version of these flash cards ?
You just moved it up a few notches on on my "to do" list. There is just so much material I still need to get to: viola, cello, singing, etc.. I inherited an entire lifetime of projects from my master and others. Thanks for asking. If you promise to spread the word to other violists when I put them online, I'll make it an even higher priority. :)
You are an enigma!
I wish what you say was true, but I'm afraid it may not be.
I play, in order of learning, but not in order of ability, piano, mandolin, guitar, banjo, violin, tin whistle, flute, saxophone, etc etc! Basically I'm an Irish trad musician that moved to rock n roll! I find that if you just do it, it works, if you are a musician!!!! BTW I can't read music (well I can now but not sight reading) but I can play 100s of songs/tunes that people know from pop and rock to 'easy' classical but mostly I play my own that I have been writing since I was 12. I'm now 60!
You're videos are great, I'm just trying to give a more relaxed non classical view point. Musicians should play music not people who want to play instruments! If you don't feel it, if you don't know what you are playing without metronomes and tuners, you should do something else!
Each student/musician is unique, as well as how they learn. What you say is very true, for some. The lessons that you will probably love and agree with are coming right after the metronome and unbelievably fast videos! Thanks for commenting!
If you can play the violin by ear without rigorous education in the art, you must be quite talented or have an unusual background of some sort. While talent is a factor, I do think that checking your intonation is useful, because it is mostly an issue of facility, not perception. Rhythm is different. I haven't found metronomes to be very useful, often i beat time with my foot. It seems to work better, since i'm actively making the time instead of passively following it. (And yes, due to this, and other factors, my sense of rhythm has improved over time.) But metronomes may indeed be useful for some. It is hard to say generalities on the subject.
However it is worth noting that talent, while not something for which an objective measurement currently seems to exist, is obviously important. Someone whom a good teacher would consider "talentless" would probably never become a great violinist, in the same way that someone with no thumbs could probably never become a great violinist. But to say (regarding a beginning student) that "if you don't know what you are playing without metronomes and tuners, you should do something else!" would be like saying to a person who'd never before touch type in their life, "if you can't type without looking at the keyboard, you should go do something else!"
@@wannabecat369 The metronome lesson taught at The Romantic School of music is very different from any other. I think you'll love it. :)
