![How to Rosin your Bow đ» [Get the BEST sound]](/img/n.gif)
There's no better feeling then when someone who never has played the violin before.. finally.... gets noise :)
+Aedan Blackheart Agreed!!! Thought i was going mad
Runaway it takes a lot of it and you need to make sure the strings are tuned by using a tuner you can find online, am electric one will work I think it's called snark or something and you clamp it on and pluck the strings until the meter is in the middle, at least that's what i did.
Great now keep practicing : )
IKR the first time I bought mine it had 0 ZERO!!! Rosin on my bow and I told my music teacher that TEACHER MAAA BOW BROKEN D: and BTW that was my first time every touching s viola đ
Christopher Blackheart XD SAME
Your bow needs Rosin to play sound. The Rosin at first is solid so score it using sandpaper or a nail file. Then, just swipe the rosin up and down, making sure to reach the bottom and top. Put enough but not too much or else you will have fall out and other stuff. She puts her's on every week usually. Put yours as needed and kind of see what works for you. Never touch the bow with your hands, or else it can stop rosin from going on properly.
Whatâs the name of the rosin that she didnât recommend, the green one?
It cant be bought any more which is why I didnt say the name.
Wow you got a heart
Will my bow still work if i touched the strings with my hands?
Ive been trying to make a noise with my bow for ages but it hasnt made any yet
In regards to your comment on how to rosin your bow - Alison the Online piano and violin tutor..
thank you for your comment. I am 51 and I am teaching myself. so any tips and tricks to help me get it right is welcome.
I'm 27 and just bought my first violin today. It's a very VERY beginners model and based on what I've seen I will be using your videos quite a lot. Thanks for taking the time to post these. +1 subscriber.
The One Above All I'm 29 and just got my first violin today. A coworker of mine gave it to me. So I'm here too with lessons ha
The One Above All same. 25 here
Got you beat I am 77 years old and just ordered one of the el-cheapos from ebay. I had a good and very old violin years ago but had to sell it to pay medical bills. It was sold about twenty years back and I was just starting to lean to play. I was out of work and no Ins. so I had to sell just everything I had worth anything to pay bills.
Sameeeeeeeee. 19 years old :9
23 yrs old and planning to buy a violin. Question is, is it a must that I get a violin teacher? I'm planning to self-study because of budget constraints. How to self-study? Practice?
Hours of planning goes into all of my FREE videos.
Please do not watch them if you feel they are poorly prepared and are not knowledgeable.
for all the people saying video starts at 6:00 its really helpful to actually watch the whole thing, it contains tips and do's and don'ts not just how to apply the rosin but a lot of other important details
heyitscassie Well people came here because of the video title and that is what they want to watch. For do's and dont's another video should have been made
NoobSkillz Gaming so you actually want less content?? Donât you see that she is spending her time on this video and wants to make sure that people get the MAXIMUM of information. Be Appreciative.
@@stefanstojadinovic2486 : No. People want to learn how to do the steps correctly and learn as much as they can and not take short cuts. She did not have to make another video for it, and I much prefer her videos to others cos she really puts in effort to give her tips and advice.
NoobSkillz Gaming I agree. I appreciate the extra info, but I prefer when people get right to the point-or at least provide time stamps.
@@LesTwinsSociety You have to bear in mind that this video was made at the very beginning when I started my CZcams channel as it is almost 7 years old now!
It was made well before I had any decent camera equipment, editing software and microphones - as well as being able to make and edit good videos like I do now - hence why its so lengthy.
All these old videos will be remade at the start of 2019 to bring them in line with the current quality of content I offer now.
Oh my gosh, I feel so silly. I thought something was wrong with me because I wasn't getting ANY sound out of my Violin! thanks so much!!
Oof same
Three year check in. Playing tchaikovsky yet?
I found a violin and thought the thing was broken or fake or something but at least now I know what the problem is and can have a go playing the cats choir.
Yep I had the same problem the cat even ran away for the rest of the day.
My cat disappears like snow in July when I get out my fiddle!
EXACTLY
@@reiioddete9740 ,
But that's why God invented mutes! Some years ago, a friend gave me a King (school quality, with one season's use) trombone, and another friend gave me a good beginner's book. After a week or so, I learned the 11 positions, and 3 modified positions, and could play a Bb Maj scale, but I noticed that whenever I practiced every living creature (dogs, cats, humans) would vacate the floor I was on until it was back in its case. If only I had had a good mute back then I might now be a member of the community orchestra or band, instead of a hack string player.
For the last 20 years I have practiced my electric guitars unplugged, and with a rubber (slightly quiet) or Artino (heavy metal, quieter) MUTE on my fiddle bridges, so that I can practice any time without the threatened homicide of my housemates.
A violinist friend once suggested that Beethoven was made deaf by his violin. In consideration of my hearing loss from engine rooms & machine shops (not to mention too much closeness to the wind section or hanging out in pipe organ chambers), I ALWAYS use at least SOME mute OR an earplug in my left ear, and if I played in a combo, I would wear earwig monitors on stage and accoustablock studio headphones always.
I bought my violin second hand.I have had it for a couple of days and have learned so much by watching the videos very clear.I am 70 and hope to one day play it well
Hello! Just wanted to take a moment and say that i really enjoy your videos. I've been playing the violin since the age of 9 years old and i am now 32 years old. You are a great teacher and thank you for your time, lessons and videos!
Sincerely,

I made the mistake of putting too much rosin on my new bow for the first time. I drew my bow across the strings and it looked like my bow was trying to burst into flames. A cloud of rosin dust rose up and I caught a lung full of it. I started hacking and coughing. Being asthmatic, that was NO fun. Anyway, lesson learned: Don't over rosin the bow. It makes for an interesting visual effect, but don't recommend doing that.
Daemon Whitebeard crap I did that. How do I get it back to normal now cuz it wonât make any noise on the violin. Iâm dying rnđ«đ«đ«
Oh I have not roisined my bow for over 7 months
XD
When was the last time you played?
Itskindafunny love Billie eilish
I hear warnings, "Don't move the rosin too fast!" Because if you heat it up too much it can be fatal.
Today I rehaired my bow and it was the worst Sunday since months ago. So, now I'm relieved to have learned, it takes hours to warm up new hair. After rehairing my bow I expect it to work better, because--as people say--old bowhair is no good, so new hair must be better. Well, what can I say : I was sooo frustrated. My bow vibrato goes "krrrk, krrrk, krrrk", a couple minutes later all rosin is gone and the strings hardly respond. I really thought, I'm too stupid to make progress on the violin and now just fall back. For a moment I even thought about giving up playing the violin.
That's why I went online, where I learned : the goodness of having fresh bow hair emerges after playing and roseing and playing and rosening..... for several hours.
Rehairing is worse than going to the dentist! Let's not talk about the rehairing process, because it's the worst. I only use about 40 hairs, but taming 40 hairs is kind of a calamity. They constantly try to do what they want and rather not what I want!
There should be special therapists for all those mentally tortured violin players. There's so much insidiousness in this lovely instrument.
***** Get on with life? This is my life and intense is always great! If you think about picking up the violin, you have to be aware, it's a really difficult instrument and going to be a long-long waiting game. It's not an instrument for quitters. If you're persistent, you will profit and finally enjoy playing.
What I was reporting above, is experimenting with tricky things. It's always worth doing that and I love it. Finally I profit from it.
Galante Welt i think violin seems easier than guitar. and the noise is really pretty too. now if only I could get my bows to work. I bought a cheap violin and an expensive one. obviously i'm still fighting w the cheap one. lol. . .
sugar fitz
I think that depends on individual basis. I am 27 and picked up guitar when I was 14. I then picked up violin for the fist time when I was 18. So Yes, there was a head start on guitar, but I still find violin more difficult than guitar.
ThisIsItBING L?
"No rosin means no sound!" LOL Whoopsie! Could of used this video about six years ago when I tried the first time to play! Well that was then and this is now! THANK YOU!
Thank you for all the vids. I learned to set and tune my violin from them. The one about customizing the bridge was especially helpful. I've loved the violin since I was a child but it's only recently I have attempted to learn at 64 with no outside help. đ
I am 49 years old and just been afforded the opportunity to learn and play this beautiful instrument! I just got it in the mail yesterday!! I was both excited and nervous at the same time!! She is the best O have found so far!!
I am a guitar Luthier and have never touched a violin...My tattoo artist pulled out 2 violins he was given by a customer. The violins were both in poor condition needing new tailpieces, new strings, new bridges, new sound posts, and new bow strings. He asked me if I would be interested in getting his violins in playing condition (trading my labor for a full sleeve tattoo). Of course I am not turning down a tatto; as he is one of the best in the US. I am trolling CZcams Channels for information. I found this information quite helpful, and the fact that this young Lady is absolutely beautiful just made me hang on every word (especially after I saw no wedding ring..lol). I will be watching and subscribing to this channe!!
I just bought a lower-end viola and am starting to teach myself the basics while I look for a good tutor - thanks so much for these videos, they are really in depth and informative :3
she is teaching violin not viola
+Khalid Al lmfao
Khalid Al you're so funny, Khalid HAHAHAHAHA
RadioFade same here
viola gang
dont drop the rosin lads
XD
ben andrews everyone in my orchestra has dropped the rosin b4.
but they r pretty stupid.
it cracks. the guy selling me my violin dropped it on the counter and it cracked. I Rubbed it on my bow for like 5 minutes before it would grip my violin strings. I guess i need to rough up the surface of the rosin next time.
Yeah, good advice ben andrews I've had experiences
@@ModernBladesmith Use a small scrap of 100 it 150 grit sandpaper on new rosin and the bow will take the rosin much better.
wow, this just changed my violin world! I've been self teaching for about three weeks and this is the first time I've made proper sound come out of the violin. thank you!
Thank you so very much for making these videos! I've always loved the sound of the violin and wished to learn to play it but was never offered the opportunity when young. Now an old lady of 46 and a mother myself, I've made sure to encourage the arts in my kids as much as they wished for! They are grown now and have left so not it's my turn... YAY! I'm going to be playing until my ears go numb thanks to these wonderful learning aids that you've provided
âThe only damage you can do with rosin is over rosin it.â
- The online piano and violin tutor
True. Too much of something or someone is bad.
Ah ha yes but what about too much money or knowledge or too much attention because you crave it to make up for your depressing childhood or somethin like that
no i do not have issues
"a good number of years"
I dropped and broke mine the night I got it :)
Oooft

Thank you so much! I have been trying to rosin my bow for 1 year now and you finally helped me! I can't thank you more!
very helpful, i just got my new violin today! best how to video , thanks from texas xoxo
Thank you, I got a new violin for me birthday and my mom knew I loved the violin, and so she get me one. I'm going to watch your videos because this video was the one to get my bow working right. But....got to get the hang of reading notes ha ha ;)
how's the violin going? I just got my first violin a few weeks ago and I love it.
I have been in love with the sound of the violin for years and finally picked one up to start learning. I am very in-depth when I learn something new; I must know everything about it and your videos are great, detailed, and full of useful information for a first time learner such as myself. Thank you for all the work you do!
Many thanks for taking the time to make and upload this video.
Glad you said that about not touching the hair
Hadn't thought about that
Now I'm kind of seeing the bow as a sort of sword that needs a constant maintenance :3
I apply the rosin like every two hours of practicing. If i don't the violin still sounds okay, but I feel an improvement in sound quality every time I apply the rosin.
Thank you my wife had a violin afew years ago and it needed tuning using your videos and its now in tune and getting sound
I'm learning bass but just spent a good 2hrs trying to play violin think I might give it ago myself
Hi I just want to say thanks for all the good things you teach as I'm new to the violin and only been at it for a month or so I have come a long way by watching only your teachings (videos) and I have to say you make it very easy to learn .so to you I say THANKS
Thanks for this, I have a new violin, just a cheapy to see if I can learn at my age (61) and I haven't been putting enough rosin on, I've just followed this video and put more on and what a difference!
+Barbara Bates , I too am 61 and just bought a cheap student, I guess, violin to see If I could play it, between trying to learn that and bass guitar I have my hands full. Do you know how tight the bow hair is supposed to be?
Delores Bennett I believe it has to be tight enough to have a bit of a bend in the wood, or to be bouncy against the strings. Sadly I've had to give up as holding both the violin and the bow have aggravated my osteoarthritis and my wrists are too stiff and painful. :-(
+Delores Bennett My violin teacher told me it's better if you tighten it till the distance between the hair and the middle of the bow is about 1 cm.
+Delores Bennett I've seen on Violin Lab website that there should be only enough distance to just fit a pencil between the bow and the hair.
Thanks
Thank you for all your content Alison - just bought a violin, and I'm finding your content on basics very helpful.
All your videos are so well done. There are so many of them. Nice work!
Nice job Allison, not sure what's more beautiful your eyes, or the violin tks
You are beautiful and so are your lessons. Violin is my seventh instrument. 1 week in now :)
Thank you so much!
I've been rosining for hours but then you said to use a nail file and i finally have a sound!
I watched the tutorial. The first time I put rosin on my new bow was a sight to behold. I have never held a bow to say nothing about putting rosin on it. Didn't put enough on the first time so I got peeved and sat for five minutes applying the rosin. Well, the first time I put bow to strings, it put out a cloud of rosin dust that made me sneeze, coated my violin in dust, and made both the bow AND violin look like they were on fire. I thought, after I stopped sneezing,
WOW! What a great visual effect! Lol. That was before I watched your video on how to properly rosin a new bow. Won't make THAT mistake again now that I know how. Thank you for a wonderful and informative video. :-)
im was looking for this!+1 subscriber because your awesome,and I know why my violin was not making sound!!!!
Glad I helped and thank you for your support.
The Online Piano and Violin Tutor your welcome!
I was looking for this too!It helped me a lot!
That SUBSCRIBE voice was so scary I subscribe before watching haha.
thank you for the video!
just recently purchased a violin (long overdue, been wanting to learn for years)...and was 100% clueless on rosin...have a good day!
Wonderful teacher! I can fine almost everything I need from your videos you've uploaded.Thanks for sharing.
OMG THANK YOU!!!! i thought i broke my violin ;) ;D
+TheRena4455 #LOL
I need help. I put a lot of rosin on my bow and it's getting all over my violin but I can't get a good sound. It makes a squeaky sound.
+Chelsea Pierce You can play it off or if its that bad, clean the bow - i have a video on this on my channel.
+Chelsea Pierce After rosining I always hit the side of the bow stick on the table a couple times, so the rosin which is too much falls of.
U have a rubbish violin den
Your the best! Thank you for all your videos!
Thank you so much I just brought a violin and was wondering why I didn't have any sound and I was wondering what the heck that amber looking stuff was for... You are a life saver!
The actual rosin application starts at 6:04
WindsOfCreation thx
I'm pretty much in love with you and by "pretty much," I mean totally.
thank you so much for this. ive been wanting to learn for ages and just recently worked up the courage to buy one. Your videos are all very helpful
Thank you so much! I've just received my first violin as a birthday gift and the rosin just was not depositing onto the bow. Using a nail file on the rosin made a huge difference and I never would have thought of that!
I'm 62, and having studied through the 1969's and 1970's, I never heard a professional or teacher suggest scratching rosin to get the hair to take rosin. That is, until some morons got the idea to make bow hair out of fiberglass. The fiberglass would not readily accept rosin, and so the morons suggested scratching the rosin to get the artificial hair to take the rosin. Didn't work, and so finally, they stopped making fiberglass hair because ABSOLUTELY NO ONE WANTED IT, even for the cheapest student bows. Yet this practice of scratching persists today. I rehair bows, and I have never had a bow that would not take rosin. Arnold Bone (my rehair teacher) said that only once in his career did he get a pound of hair that just would not take rosin, so it is quite rare that good horsehair will not take rosin. The trick is to overlap raw, unrosined hair with rosined hair as you rosin a fresh bow; the rosined hair, being rougher, will 'freshen' (rough up) the surface of the cake of rosin so that the raw hair will take rosin as well, and then just keep overlapping the rosined section with the unrosined section as you rosin a raw bow. And rotate your rosin. Don't dig a groove in it; you'll wind up scratching and ruining the wood of your bow.
+james mothersbaugh Some good advice here James. Nevertheless, a lot of talented players give their rosin a start these days. Coincidentally, I recently purchased a new Mongolian horsehair carbon bow plus some new Gustave Bernadel rosin. Unless I wanted to be rubbing away for ages, the rosin needed a little bit of gentle encouragement!!
james mothersbaugh
The rosin I bought on ebay was as slick as pig snot and hard as a mother in-laws heart you I could try to rosin my bow for an hour and get nothing just a little sandpaper 100 grit and in just a short time the bow was covered.
The cheap made in no one knows where rosin you buy now is so slick and hard it needs a start.
Gold flakes in rosin is like saying I'm so rich I only rosin my bow with gold u jeleous
Thank you so much for your videos. Sooooo helpful.
I am so excited and glad i found your channel. I bought my daughter a nice student violin for Christmas to guage her interest. Your tutorials are very simple and will be easy for her to follow. She is 12.
starts at 6:03
Thanks đ
TOP 100 Classical music thank you very much because I'm just sitting there like omg just shut up and show us!!!!!! So im like hmmm let me see if someone gave us some help I saw this like thank goodness
TOP 100 Classical music but i love listening to her talk. đ
thank you! OMG she talks a lot. the rosin is like a piece of rock. how do you know if it sticks?
Yes I do talk a lot, but in my defence, this is now 6 years old and was one of the first videos I released on my channel. I was very poor at editing with no skills or equipment and I didnt think this channel would make it past Christmas 2012! Roll on a few years later and my videos are much better. I will be re-making some of these older videos to make them better, more informative and slicker! Stay tuned :)
i sometimes watch these vids just to hear you speak :D
Thank you I will follow your advice and thanks for taking the time to answer my questions
Thank you so much for this video it helped me out a lot â€ïž
I don't play the violin.
This girl was just super pretty so I clicked lol
I tried biting the rosin to see what it tastes like lol đ
What does it taste like? đ
You are awesome! I'm new and am learning so much already from you!
Hi Alison, Thanks for your lesson.it really helped. Now i am getting good sound from my violin!!
Madam..your eyes are very beautiful..
u are beautifull
just want you to know that you are a life-saver!! thank you for doing this for us newbies!! stay awesome Ms Allison!! (i hope i spelled it right)
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. They're really very helpful. I'm waiting for my first violin to arrive and trying to learn everything I can beforehand. Hopefully at 54 I've still got time to learn a bit.
Could u make your videos shorter? I love them, but they're too long
Yes I agree, but theses are my very old videos from a good few years ago now with poorer cameras and bad lighting and editing. My latter videos are way better.
The Online Piano and Violin Tutor oh, okay! Thanks! I'll definitely watch them
This woman is giving free violin lessons and you are complaining? People are just impossible to please
You are the best tutor .. you teach every minor things . thanks for teaching .. please be countinue ..
Thank you so much!!!! Im a really good violinst and I practices everyday still and your videos helped me out all the way, thank you so much agian for the advice!!
Thank you so much for these videos!!!!!!!!!! You're the best!!!!!!!!!
I've been playing guitar for 16 years and counting as well as keys so I thought "why not try the violin?".... Wow.. how I underestimated the learning process!! I thought the tough part of dexterity was dealt with as I play regularly but what a different ball game.
Having a lot of fun making "noise" but Im here to mainly say thank you for getting me started - You'll hold my hand throughout the process. Thanks again!
Thank you!!!!!! beginner cello player here and this helped me out so much
i just bought my first violin 2 months ago but just started playing it 3 days ago. iâve already learned part of king of the faeries, silent night, and wake me up.
I just got a violin for my school orchestra, you been such a big help when it comes to using my violin!
I am pleased with this lesson. I didn't know why my violin is not making sound. As a beginner, a was perplexed. Now I know it. Thanks allot for this lesson.

I love your tutorials Ms. Alison!
You are amazing!! thank you so much for your help. I bought my first violin and almost cried when I couldn't get a sound :) after 10 mins and 12 rosin rubs I got it!! :D thank you!!
you are explaining beautifully, god bless you Alison! great help you are!!!!
Great tutorial as always. I just picked up my brand new violin today and this was immensely helpfull. Thanks Alison :D
Who would dislike this?? Wonderful to watch and very helpful. Thanks Alison :)
Thank you for the lessons, I watch all your videos.
Ok. Thank you. Your instruction videos are amazing.
Thank you. I just got my first violin and was really frustrated because I couldnÂŽt get any sound out of it except for open strings. When getting a new instrument my biggest fear is not that I maybe never get past beginners skill level but the fear or ruining the instrument, luckily you had a video where you reminded to untighten the bow too. So thanks for your videos.
What a helpful video! In grade school through high school orchestra we rosined our bows for the first few minutes of class before tuneup, it was just the practice. Everyone was probably very over rosined. It was maybe only 40 to 100 minutes of playing a day if you didn't practice at home.
Awesome video; I learned a lot of new things. Thanks for uploading :)
Ty Allison! This really helped me!
This helped so much on my new bow and violin! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!
Very helpful cant wait to watch more your great ;)
Im about the get my first violin, this was rlly helpful. Thankyou!
Thank you for your videos, I've just bought a violin and haven't played since I was young and your videos are very helpful:)
