How to Make a GOOD SOUND on the Violin | 3 Fundamental Concepts About the Bow
my favorite of Beethoven’s piano trios on the stand 😊
great vid, thanks
Wonderful video, for an adult learning like me
This is really good advice. You may have already provided it but equipment and the set up is important. Once you start picking up speed and the magic starts to happen you will want to make sure that the bow, the fiddle/violin , the strings on it and the bridge, it stays in tune, is helping you reach that goal of "OH!!! , That sounded really good" NOTE: there are days you nail it and days you go did I just start to learn how to play this thing today? ...perseverance pays off. Nothing sweeter than I'm getting there
You are the Yoda of the violin tribe :-) "Conscious, present you have to be, my violin student"
It's refreshing to watch and listen to you. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and giving your year long experience for free here. I really appreciate it. I started playing as an adult and listening to you made me realise that it is a good thing to question things. As you do, even after playing violin for so many years. Like people saying the thumb on the bow hand has to be bend all the time, haha.
Thanks , a very nice informative and generous lesson , gratitude .
Liz, you sound like an amazing teacher! Just watching a few of your videos (I'm a professional violinist and teacher) I've heard many wonderful approaches to use in my own teaching. I love how you speak of the left hand being soft and opening to resist the natural grasping tendency. Your language in describing the physical setup encourages relaxation and your demonstrations beautifully show this approach. I will happily watch all of your videos and hope you produce more, although I suspect you are so busy teaching in person that you no longer have the time. All the best!
Hi, what violin do you play?
Super lessons.thanks.
Very good tips for biginers. Thanks.
Sorry to say it, but in music it's impossible to have more than one perfect intervall. When you tune your strings in fifths perfects, you can't use in the same time ocraves perfects! Simply it will be out of tune. Try this accord: G string empty, E on D string perfect with A string. Then listen the difference if you compare this E with G string! Which of two do you prefer? But you can continue with B on A string and E empty string. Do you like both possibles accords GEBE and how you choose one of them?! You must know that the violin is like the piano. If you have 4 fixed places for 4 notes, then ALL the notes must to be with fixed places. Or if you use perfect fifths when you tune your violin, it's impossible to stay in tune! Only the unisson can stay perfect. ALL other intervals must to be tempereds. If no, you will play out of tune all the time. The intonation problem can't be traited whitout prealable education. Bravo for trying to do a video about the right intonation, but the question is more complex....
For conclusion I can say a little hint, try to hear in your head the next note before to play her...
You are the ONLY teacher who show us how to solve the problem right away.
Love this video. I started learning the violin 20 years ago when I was 10. I only studied it for 4 years and I was doing really well... I could play some really difficult pieces with my teacher and all, but because of life I had to stop, my love for the instrument never left me, though, so this year I started taking classes again and I'm so happy, however it's very difficult to adjust my expectations. I really love the instrument and I hope I can play it well and maybe play in an orchestra soon... But ya know... 20 years have passed so there's a lot of anxiety in here. Loved your channel ... Keep it up ❤
You are not boring, your brilliant, very helpful
My problem is awkward bouncing if I do vibrato from tip to frog bowing.
Super super super lovely tips
Ariana grande's sister......but your knowledge and beauty is no 1
yep - YEARS. Still working on it.
How can we analyse the phrase? Where should we go down or up??
It should be noted that a shoulder rest is not required. Many players prefer to play without a shoulder rest. It is said the sound produced is better (or at least different), and some say the rest can contribute to discomfort. With that said, many players prefer the shoulder rest, primarily because it makes it easier to hold onto the instrument.
Thanks
i went to see Madam Butterfly this evening and the violinists between the acts played a really gentle piece that went very soft and it looked to me that she clipped something to the bridge before she played it , was it my imagination ? cheer's
Probably a mute! :)
Why are so many of these great tutors speaking with 'vocal fry'? It is so annoying, and often makes their articulation unclear, and what they are saying difficult to understand!
What is the green band under the frog? Does it make it easier to hold the bow?
Tip 6. Always play alone so no one notices. ;)
Listening and learning from Querétaro, Mexico. Thanks!
Good ideas, I would like to add one, leave your violin out of the case in plain sight, you will be tempted to play/practise more
thank you, this helped a lot
Thanks for the tips, I am an intermediate violinist and we are playing la rejouissance for one of our concert pieces and it is very important for me to be in tune because i'm first chair.
I am so grateful I found your channel! I am coming back to the viola after 15 years. Not easy but not impossible. Videos like this help me mentally. One week back in so far. Can’t wait to monitor progress.
Amazing!! That’s great :)
1. Good consistent hand frame. Swing elbow to position frame over whichever string. 2. Soft supple hands and joints - not stressed. 3. Awarenss of how hand feels at different notes. 4. Cross check with open strings and singing resonances - this is possible for many notes. 5. Listenm, explore and take your time. Adjust position slowly to the right pitch.
I am pretty new to violin and I find this video is exactly what I need. So, Thank you!
Perfect thank you❤
This is excellent information. Thank you! I needed to hear this.
A lot of musicians call it “Audiating”
Thanks Liz I hadn’t played till yesterday 11/4/23 the last time I played before that was 2/22. My son had a surgery and my wife was saying the violin was too loud but now I have her shut the door and I play. It feels good to play again … within me I knew I needed to play again!
Thank you, helps a lot❤ even I am learning cello as an adult. Basics must be the same....
Definitely 💕
Thank you so much!!❤😊 :)
AMAZING how your violin playing during the intro music sounds so much like a guitar!!! ;-)
Thank you so much for this video! I played from third grade to my last year of high school... Then stopped for 10 years. Oops! Im rediscovering my love for music and it feels like revisting an old friend. Cheers, and thank you again!
thanks for the tips. THe open ringtones are useful for only 4 notes, though. Out 12 notes, it is only a third of the whole range. What are the advices for the other 2 thirds?
It also helps to get a new string annually. Until a month ago, I've been playing on a GDA string that's more than 5 years old until I my D string snapped and decided to replace them all. After trying my new string, It blew my mind how the ringing notes are much more open, vibrant, louder, and easier to hear. The margin of not hearing the resonance of the open strings became bigger unlike my old strings. Old strings are also sticky where whereas new ones are smoother
can someone pleas explain to me how I learned vibrato in 9 months of playin violin???
Thank you. 🙂
Excellent video. Thanks!
Thank you!
About to give up. My sound is horrible. Can’t seem to get it.
