- Many students have the self perception that they aren't "fast players", or that their fingers or bow arm won't go fast enough. Rarely has someone actually reached their physical limitation. Watch my video (all of it) to learn a practice approach guaranteed to make those fast passages easier to play.

This really hits the nail on the head for me. I've been playing music for 25+ years and I used to think I was just not very fast, and that was it. Now I've been learning violin for 2 years, and I can't count how many times I thought I'd hit my limit, then overcame it by practicing. Practice makes the master, as they say in german. Such a ride.
This helped a lot with my speed and way I approach learning new pieces, thank you so much for this!
That's what I like to hear!
Beth, I’ve never been able to play fast, even after intently studying the best bluegrass fiddlers. I’m surely going to try your method. For all i know, this is what they do and just aren’t talking! Thanks a bunch!
Please let me know if it helps!
Thank you.I wish I had had this info two weeks ago...before my recital. I will definitely use this. Thanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
the box in the corner helps sooo much
Thank you for always making great instructional videos. Your lessons are all practical, very clear and simple to understand. Definitely one of my favorite online violin teachers!!!❤❤❤ More power to you and your channel!😊❤️
Thank you ❤️
VERY helpful and well analysed for us, thank you! Will start trying tomorrow!
I'd love to know if you think it helps!
My dad taught me to never say can't. That's just the way I was raised. I can and I will there is too much negativity in the world all ready. I can play the violin and I will! Whether .I can read music or not! And I have! I ve proven to myself that I indeed play beautiful violin. Your a wonderful teacher but please don't ever say cant!
In my opening I say "Why you think you can't..." I need to change the title! The video is to give people tools to surpass negative thoughts.
Great stuff, Beth - as always. 😍
Thanks so much! It means a lot coming from you!😊
Hi mam I need to practice.its jst .I'm started to learn .yes .👍👏👌🙏☝️😴☺️🤔
Thank you that was terrific
Love your videos! I think you need a mic, though. Your vids are often very quiet (your voice) and I don't have hearing problems at all. My volume is all the way up.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll turn the mic levels higher.
Hello, I'd like to ask if the chin rest you are using is from the brand Dolfinos?
Please leave Turkish subtitles please.
I have been following you since the first day you started CZcams. Please leave Turkish subtitles. My English is not good.
If I had means to do so I would. I hope someday CZcams can do automatic translations.
Does anyone know if the chin rest used by this professor is from the brand Dolfinos? Thank you.
I use the wavechinrest.com model. I love it so much!
@@violinlab Thank you very much for your reply.
@@violinlab Which chin rest model are you using, WAVE I or WAVE II? Thank you!
Whichever is the tallest!
@@violinlab With options for height and model available, I would like to ask which model you have chosen. Thank you.
Hi there - I'm a very recent subscriber and not a violin player myself. However, string orchestra arrangements in instrumental music has always been my absolute favourite to listen to. I was wondering, if you (or one of your many followers) could tell me what is the technical term for what the string players are doing in this particular arrangement starting at 3:45 and ending at 4:00 in this orchestral version of Dancing Queen by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra? czcams.com/video/jsqIDPZmFi0/video.html Is this just a "run" or what do you officially call this type of string playing? Thanks so much for your time.
Are you sure those were the correct time codes? The piece had ended by 3:45. Thanks for subscribing!
@@violinlab That is odd. When I view it the entire piece is 4:27 minutes long? Sorry about that, I'm not sure what video the link above is taking you to then. It is on The Best of Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Volume 1 from 2010. If you were to search "Best of Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Dancing Queen" in the CZcams search bar then it might come up for you? If that doesn't work, my apologies for wasting your time. It really was a legitimate question, though, that I have always wondered the answer to.
@@violinlab I found out the answer. They are Arpeggios. I always thought Arpeggios were just something people practiced like Scales to improve their playing skills, and not something necessarily written into a musical score. In the orchestral piece I was referencing above, they are played very fast which I thought was apropos to ask on your lesson on playing "fast".
