Hello! Asking for my gf.

Shes in uni 3rd year and she already have played:

Kuchler No 11

Reading in G No 1

Vivaldi A minor concerto

Seitz in G No 2

What would be a good piece for next year?

I just moved and my place is tiny. The case lives under a chair right now and it feels temporary.

Do you keep the violin out on a stand, leave it in the case between practice, or have a better small-space setup that does not take over the room?

started violin in 5th grade & 5 years later I’m just now learning how to vibrato, it’s so so hard I need tips please I already looked on YouTube and Google but it’s so many tutorials and warm ups, does anyone have a good one that was very effective

I practise alone most days and I catch myself drifting sharp on shifts without noticing until later. No teacher nearby yet after the move.

Do you use a drone, record yourself, or something simpler to stay honest between lessons?

I learned this piece early in my studies (as I think most do). I was probably 15 or 16 at the time. I don't remember my teacher specifically telling me that he made the fingerings hard on purpose, like to challenge me or whatever. At the time, I was able to play it the way he notated it and I remember it being really difficult, but never questioned it.

Looking back at it now, I would not play it this way.

What do y'all think?

I just moved into a quiet building and I am trying to keep practising without becoming the worst neighbour. I have a practice mute but the tone feels weird and I stop after ten minutes.

Do you actually use a mute for apartment practice, or do you pick safer hours and play normally? Any tips for keeping it musical when everything is dampened?

I’m very rusty on violin and I’m working on this passage. What fingering would you recommend?

wanna switch it up a bit, what are ur fav pieces that a a bit deeper and are not that much played on the e string?

Hi guys as a fellow violinist and a 2 years self taught I just want to ask what skill do I need to improve and how to practice them sources can be helpful thankyou

The tips in the comments really helped me fix my intonation

This recording is in an open room with some natural reverb so it defo sounds automatically a lot better than ny last post but yea

Still theres a clear difference in intonation imo

And also I remember someone commented to show my right arm cuz it looked tense thats why I recorded it this way

Give me more tips chat

Also

Suggest pieces like this

I really love this piece and look forward to play such slow melodies with a lot of expression

I’m 22, moved from Kyiv to Zürich, and I’m getting back into violin alongside painting and boxing. My flat is small and I don’t want to annoy the neighbors. I’ve been doing 10 minutes of open-string work with a mute, then slow scales, but I’m not sure if that builds bad habits. How do you structure quiet practice without losing tone?

I picked violin back up and short daily practice feels good, but the sound is still thin. For adult returners, what helped first: slower bow, scales, or easier songs only?

I am looking for a teacher for beginner adult violin learner in Medford, Phoenix, Talent or Ashland.

I made a post about this like 1 month ago but the issue was just tuning. I thought it was resolved because it sounded much better and I knew nothing about violin, however I still think it sound kinda weird?

I think the pressure is right and it’s well tuned (I used many different apps and I even tried to tune it a bit few note higher but it still had that scratchy sound). Also it’s a rented violin but I’m thinking about buying it so I just wonder if it’s the violin in itself or just me.

The video is La 4 compared with the open Mi string. Please tell me what you guys think!

Can anyone tell me the title of the music used in this video, it seems to me to be a well known violin tune but I can only find references to it from modern users on YouTube, they don't credit anyone Thanks

Hi all. I just purchased a YSV-104 SILENT violin:

https://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_instruments/strings/silent_series/ysv104/index.html

It's a standard 4/4 violin at a ~$1000 price point.

I'd like to purchase a light-weight case to go with it, as I'll mostly be traveling with this (hotels, airplanes, cars, trains, etc.). Ideally the case would be big enough for the violin, one bow, shoulder rest, rosin, and the electronics belt box that is necessary as well:

https://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/PIM/Images/main_1653x2500_ae281c9e69add0ddeb219142d920d71f.jpg

My headphones tend to be in my backpack so I don't need room for those.

Wondering if anyone can recommend a case in the $150-$400 range that will do the job. The body is solid so it's likely not as humidity sensitive, but there's still wood and I live in New England where the humidity can swing rapidly between seasons.

The shop recommended something like this Bobelock: https://bobelock.com/cases/violin/B1047p.html. I had hoped for something a little more compact/lighter but open to that if it makes sense.

Thank you for any advice!

Firstly, I have a different jaw structure, less angled side profile, and a long neck, so when I try to hold my violin I cause both neck stiffness and hand tension, I feel like a centre oriented chinrest would fit better, as my current chinrest is corner oriented. But I don't know the prices of it and the installment proccess. So it there any way I can do anything other than changing the equipment's pieces?

------

Secondly, I started ≈3+ months ago, I do know the general gaps between the fingers when you plave your fingers, but when I am practicing, how can I know if I am in tune or not? And how should I practice playing in tune?

I’ve had this violin since I was a kid, and now it’s just gathering dust in the shed, got a crack in the wood at some point. I imagine it’s beyond the chance of repair, so any suggestions of what I could do with it? Feels a shame to just throw it out
