Your style of teaching is absolutely lovely. I haven’t seen any other videos that are so systematic. I am 68 years old, but am sure I will be able to play the violin on my own after practising with your videos. Thank you so much for uploading such wealth of knowledge.

I'm having SO much trouble holding a note on the strings, with my big man fingertips, without muting the adjacent strings. I'm still so new to this, and I hope to get around this problem with improved technique, but big fingers are a problem for me just now.

    • @violinclasses
      @violinclasses  4 года назад +2

      Hi, it should just be lying there, pressing as little as you can. This meands that you will need to try and hold the violin up with your neck muscles. Thta's not so easy when you first start to learn to play. Your neck muscles will grow stronger over time, and that's when you will start to hold the violin less with your left thumb.

    • @violinclasses
      @violinclasses  3 года назад +2

      Hi Ahmed, the most likely cause is that since with 4 fingers on, the part of the string that can vibrate is shorter. Therefore, your bow will need to play nearer the bridge to produce the same quality sound. let me know if this helps.

      Hi, I am wondering if your violin is properly set up? Would you be able to take it to a local violin shop and ask for help? I am happy to have a look at it too if you book a lesson. Glad you are enjoying the lessons, but you should really be finding it less challenging than you describe...
